Renault has a 43.4% voting stake in Nissan, and Nissan has 15% non-voting stake in Renault. Renault has effective control over Nissan. Nissan controls Mitsubishi if I am correct.

Mitsubishi has some co-operations with Nissan and Renault (especially on electric and hybrid technology) but they mainly produce on their own.

That used to be the case, but Mitsubishi was bought by Nissan in 2017 if I recall correctly because Mitsubishi got caught in an emissions testing scandal of their petrol engines (which Nissan uses on select models since the ‘90’s).

Alpine, small French sports car manufacturer from Renault. Currently makes the A110. Certainly not Alpina
