Renault Group and its brands achieve a third consecutive year of growth
Renault delivered a strong performance in 2025, with 1,628,030 vehicles sold worldwide, (+3.2%), driven by a +10.0% growth in global passenger car.
In Europe, the brand reached the second position in the PC + LCV market, thanks to its +7.4% growth in passenger car sales. Its strong PC performance is driven by the brand’s dual electrification approach. On the one hand, full hybrid sales rose by +17.0%, reaching c. 287,000 units and representing 38.4% of the brand’s PC sales, 25.6 points above market average. Renault is the number two brand in the European hybrid vehicle market, and Symbioz the best-selling hybrid model in the line up. On the other hand, electric vehicles surged by +72.2%, with 151,939 vehicles sold. Thanks to Renault 5 E-Tech electric, the second best-selling EV on the PC retail market in Europe, Renault EVs’ now account for 20.2% of the brand PC sales.
Regarding the LCV segment, due to a decreasing European TIV (-8.3%), Express phase-out, and the gradual ramp-up of the new Master diversity availability, Renault totaled 244,927 units, down -21.1%. Nevertheless, sales sequentially improved in 2025: H2 at -11.1% versus H1 at -29.2%.
Outside Europe, Renault PC + LCV sales grew by +11.7%, now accounting for 38% of total brand volumes (+2.9 points). Thanks to growth notably in Latin America (+11.3%), South Korea (+55.9%), and Morocco (+44.8%), Renault remains the first French car brand worldwide.
Renault also continued its value-driven commercial strategy and gained market share in multiple European countries in retail sales. Residual values stayed globally stable in 2025 and remain well above the market (+5 points). Since 2021, they increased by +7 points.
In 2026, the Renault brand will continue to build on its strong foundations:
In Europe, Renault 4 E-Tech coming to new markets and the commercial launch of Twingo E-Tech will help the brand continue its electrification offensive. The New Clio will also continue its market rollout.
Outside Europe, the International Game Plan will continue with Boreal expanding into new markets, Filante launch in South Korea, Gulf countries and Colombia, Renault Duster in India and three other products to come between now and 2027.
Acceleration of LCV sales will be supported by the wider Master range.
