Renault SA confirmed its full-year guidance as the French automaker expects to benefit from new models including the R5 electric car and updated Dacia sport utility vehicles.

Third-quarter revenue rose to €10.7 billion ($11.6 billion), Renault said Thursday. The manufacturer still expects a group operating margin of at least 7.5% this year, and free cash flow of €2.5 billion or more.
