Renault Group Reports Slight Decline in First Half Vehicle Sales
In the first half of 2026, Renault Group reported worldwide vehicle sales of 1.16 million units, a slight decline of 0.4% compared to the same period last year. The drop was primarily due to lower sales at Dacia being offset by growth in other brands like Renault and Alpine. In Europe, combined passenger car (PC) and light commercial vehicle (LCV) sales totaled 821,092 units, a decline of 1.3%. However, the Renault brand saw an increase with 528,849 vehicles sold across the region. Outside Europe, the group experienced strong growth in markets such as India (+61.2%), Türkiye (+15.4%), Morocco (+13.7%), and Brazil (+5.3%). Electrified vehicle sales accounted for a significant portion of Renault's European PC sales—52% overall—with battery electric vehicles making up 18.8%. The group also emphasized the importance of retail buyers, who represented 60% of its PC sales in five major European markets. Alpine saw notable success with global sales rising by 69.1%, driven largely by strong demand for the A290 model.
