Overview
- Renault reported just under 1.2 million global vehicle sales in the first half of 2026, a 0.4% decrease from the same period a year earlier and leaving overall volumes essentially flat.
- European sales, the group's main market, fell 1.3% to 821,092 new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, which weighed on the group's performance.
- The Renault brand grew in Europe by 2.6% to 528,849 units while Dacia, the lower-cost brand, saw an 8.7% drop to 284,021 vehicles, driving much of the group’s weakness.
- Electrified passenger cars now make up 52% of Renault's European sales, up from 43.8% a year earlier, with electrified shares at 66.3% for Renault and 30.8% for Dacia.
- Renault is offsetting European pressure with strong gains in key non-European markets, including India (up 61.2%), Turkey (up 15.4%), Morocco (up 13.7%) and Brazil (up 5.3%), a shift that could change where the company focuses growth and model investment.
