As part of its commitment to providing consumers and car enthusiasts across the Kingdom with greater access to world-class auto products and services, Wallan Trading Company — the leading player in the Saudi automotive sector — has launched its first integrated Renault center. Fully-equipped with leading-edge amenities and value-added offerings, the new hub was unveiled at a special opening ceremony held on the 29th of February.
The launch of the state-of-the-art facility follows the announcement of Wallan’s strategic agreement with Renault Group: a first-of-its-kind partnership that will see the Saudi auto leader serve as the official distributor of Renault Group’s range of iconic offerings in the Kingdom.
Located on Khurais Road in Riyadh, the well-appointed center spans 6,000 square meters, housing an upscale showroom and advanced maintenance and spare parts facilities.

The event underscored both parties’ commitment to transforming the Kingdom’s auto sector.
As demonstrated by the establishment of the integrated center, Wallan’s strategic agreement with Renault Group is fully geared towards introducing even more quality products and services to the Kingdom.
Fahad Al-Wallan, Chairman, Wallan Holding, said: “As one of the most sophisticated auto markets in the world, the Kingdom demands leading, novel services that provide added value, catering to the needs of modern drivers.
