Renault Group has posted sales volume growth of 3.2% in 2025, as strong demand for cars helped to offset a dramatic fall in van sales in Europe.

The company sold 2.34m vehicles in total during the year. International markets led the way, rising 12%, while sales in Europe lifted by just 0.5%.

Passenger car volume jumped by 5.9%, beating the overall market, and was thanks to strong sales of the Renault Clio and Dacia Sandero – the latter finished the year as Europe’s best-selling car for the second consecutive year.

However, van sales in Europe dropped by 21% due to a slowdown in the market and Renault changing its product range.

Sales of hybrids and EVs were up 35% and 77%, respectively.

Renault saw sales rise by 3.2% worldwide to 1,628,030 vehicles. Dacia sales were lifted by 3.1% to 697,408, and Alpine saw sales more than doubled (+139%) to exceed 10,000 registrations for the first time (10,970).

Fabrice Cambolive, chief growth Officer of Renault Group, said: ‘Our two-legs powertrain strategy is now deployed across the Group: Renault is a best-in-class generalist brand in terms of CO₂ emissions, with two-thirds of its sales electrified (EV and HEV), while Dacia is accelerating in hybrid.

‘The ability to combine strong commercial performance with electrification is driven by two true game changers: our hybrid technologies, simultaneously meeting customer needs and CO2 regulation targets and our 100% EV platforms, which enhance product appeal and sales.’
