Renault Group reported a 1.3 percent increase in global vehicle sales in the first half of 2025, reaching 1.17 million units across its brands – Renault, Dacia, Alpine and Mobilize. This somewhat flat growth reflects the Group’s strategy of prioritising value creation over volume in a challenging market environment.

The Renault brand led the performance with global sales up 2.7 percent YoY to 808,413 units, driven by a 12.2 percent rise in passenger car sales. However, light commercial vehicle (LCV) sales fell by 22.8 percent, impacted by the end-of-life of certain models and the incomplete rollout of the new Master range.

Dacia recorded a marginal decline in global sales (-0.7 percent) to 356,084 units, while Alpine saw the strongest growth within the Group, with an 84.6 percent surge to 5,015 units, supported by the success of its new A290 electric city car.

Electrified vehicles now account for nearly 44 percent of Renault Group’s total sales, up more than 15 points from H1 2024. Renault’s electrified mix reached 59 percent, including strong growth in hybrid (+36.2 percent) and electric vehicle sales (+57 percent), with the Renault 5 E-Tech emerging as the best-selling B-segment EV in Europe. Dacia increased its electrified mix to 23.5 percent, led by strong hybrid demand for the new Duster. Alpine's electric share jumped to 76 percent, underpinned by the A290.

Geographically, Renault saw international growth of 16.3 percent, particularly in Latin America (+24 percent), Morocco (+48 percent) and South Korea (+150 percent). In Europe, the Group grew by 5.4 percent despite a declining passenger car market, with the Renault and Dacia brands maintaining strong positions among retail customers.

Looking ahead, the Group plans to launch seven new models in 2025, including the electric Renault 4 E-Tech, Dacia Bigster and Alpine A390, alongside two major facelifts. It will also expand the rollout of the Grand Koleos and Kardian in international markets. A EUR 25,000 version of the Renault 5 E-Tech is set to support broader EV adoption in Europe.

Renault Group maintains a solid order book in Europe, equivalent to around two months of forecast sales and continues to focus on retail channels, which represented over 56 percent of total sales in the region. Residual values for its vehicles remain well above the European average, supporting the Group’s value-over-volume approach as it navigates the ongoing market transformation toward electrification.
