rnlt©: Shaping Renault’s Urban Future
With the Renaulution plan launched in 2021, Renault redefined its strategy — shifting focus from volume to value. To support this brand elevation, Renault turned to Lonsdale to bring the Renaulution to life across every physical touchpoint: retail, events, motor shows, corporate spaces and more.
This strategic move marked a transition toward “showrooming” — blending the best of physical and digital commerce. A reinvention of retail designed to better meet evolving consumer expectations. At a time when brick-and-mortar is facing closures and challenges, Renault is betting on a bold comeback for offline retail — by establishing flagship spaces in high-traffic city centers and major shopping hubs, closer than ever to its urban audiences.



Spanning 180 square meters and designed to showcase up to three vehicles, the space invites visitors to discover the brand’s latest models — in this case, the Renault 5 E-Tech — alongside an exclusive selection of “The Originals” branded merchandise. From collectible miniatures to lifestyle and apparel collections, all items are available for purchase on-site. This curated offer reflects Renault’s desire to nurture a stronger emotional bond with its customers, while diversifying its brand experience.
Easily spotted thanks to the bold “Nouvel R” diamond emblem and signature “rnlt” signage — both of which can shift colors depending on brand activations — the boutique is conceived by Lonsdale as a fully immersive showroom. It’s a place where innovation, design, and hospitality come together. The layout has been thoughtfully crafted: a welcoming high-top table greets visitors at the entrance, a relaxed lounge area invites conversation over coffee, open-plan offices offer a transparent atmosphere, and a digital configurator allows customers to explore the entire vehicle range and customize every detail.












With rnlt©, Lonsdale has crafted a new design language for Renault’s physical spaces — building on the brand codes established at international motor shows and the pop-up store at 33 Champs-Élysées. Signature elements include emblematic signage, a ceramic tiling floor with diamond patterns, a sleek black architectural shell contrasted by the vibrant hues of the products, and meticulously designed lighting. Every detail of this compact-format space has been thoughtfully conceived to deliver a fully immersive Renault experience — despite its smaller footprint compared to traditional showrooms.
With over 30 rnlt© locations already launched — including two in Paris, as well as in Madrid, Milan, Brussels, London, Seoul, Bogotá, and Casablanca — Renault is planning a global rollout of 80 to 120 of these urban retail spaces in the coming years.
