Renault will be returning to the United States, but not with Meganes or Kangoos sold under the diamond brand. Instead, the Renault-derived products will be variants of jointly-developed Renault Samsung cars sold under the Mitsubishi brand, as part of a new alliance between Renault-Nissan and Mitsubishi.
First up will be a D-segment sedan for the United States at Canada to be built in Korea at the Renault-Samsung plant, similar to the Latitude, shown above. A C-segment sedan will also be next, but sales and production locations have yet to be determined. Also under development is a global kei car that will include an EV variant.
The two new sedans will ostensibly serve as replacements for the Galant and the Lancer. The Galant has not had a replacement since it's discontinuation in the United States, while the Lancer lags behind its competitors and is long overdue for a replacement.
