The vehicle is the replacement for the Primastar model that is currently built at a plant in Barcelona.
The contract will boost Sandouville production by 100,000 units between 2016 and 2026 and involves a three-year, 230 million euro ($256 million) investment, Renault said in a statement.
The Sandouville factory builds the Renault Espace minivan, Laguna sedan and New Trafic light van, according to Automotive News Europe’s European plant map.
The plant also manufactures a version of the Vivaro van for General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall unit, and will soon begin production of a Fiat van based on the Trafic.
