It's easier because all of the French car brands are basically the same with the same frame with a different badge and bodywork.

I thought that Renault has it different than Peugeot/Citroen. The former has common parts with Nissan and the latter with Opel (also part of PSA) and Fiat. Am I wrong?

Opel still shares no platforms with the french cars, it is all GM. The first car based on the PSA platform is planned to come out next year.

The grandland shares platform, it's actually built in the same factory than the 3008. It comes from an accord previous to the acquisition of Opel from psa
