No, Renault is not owned by Mercedes, but the two companies have a partnership. Renault is part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, which is one of the largest automotive groups in the world. While Mercedes-Benz (owned by Daimler) doesn’t own Renault, the two brands have collaborated on several projects.
For example, Renault and Mercedes worked together to develop engines, like the 1.3L turbo petrol engine found in some Renault, Nissan, and Mercedes models. Mercedes also used Renault diesel engines in certain compact cars, like the A-Class and CLA. It’s a partnership for shared technology and resources, but Renault is still very much its own brand under the Alliance.
