Why don't they sell Renault and Peugeot cars in North America?

Best Answers

No Citroens either. But, they did at one point. Renault left North America in the 70s* due to the economic climate, Citroen also left in the 70s because they had difficulty adhearing to US regulations, and Peugeot left in the 90s after the 405 flopped. Peugeot is, however, back in Mexico. read more

Renault does sell cars here - they just don't sell Renaults. Their alliance with Nissan lets them profit from the US market without having to try to establish their brand here again, which is good because the last time they tried was a disaster. Peugeot has just never been able to compete in the US market, though they tried for over 30 years. read more

There was also a Renault developed specially for AMC dealerships, based off the Renault 9 and 11, the Renault Alliance. The Alliance was built in Kenosha, Wisconsin but was not related to any pre-existing AMC vehicles, so in a sense it was a true Renault, but it was just only sold in North America. The Alliance was sold from 1983 to 1987. read more
