Renault reported higher global vehicle sales in 2025, reflecting continued recovery and growth across its Renault, Dacia and Alpine brands, supported by rising demand for electrified models and a broader product lineup.

The group sold 2,336,807 vehicles worldwide during the year, up from 2024 levels. Sales under the Renault brand accounted for around 1.6 million units in Europe, a 3.2% year-on-year increase. Budget brand Dacia sold close to 700,000 vehicles globally, up 3.1%, with Europe remaining its largest market.

Alpine recorded the strongest percentage growth, with global sales up 139.2%. Renault said the increase reflected a full year of sales for the A290 hot hatchback, which expanded the brand’s lineup beyond the A110 sports car.

Electrified vehicles were a key driver of growth. Renault sold about 151,000 battery-electric vehicles in 2025, representing a 72.2% increase from the previous year. Dacia also reported strong momentum in hybrids, with sales of hybrid models up 121%, contributing to a 2.9% increase in its European volumes to just over 600,000 units.

Renault said further growth could come from upcoming product launches, including a new electric Renault Twingo, which is expected to be priced below 14,000 euros in France after incentives, and refreshed versions of the Megane E-Tech. The group is also preparing to roll out new commercial vehicles, including an electric Trafic van.

In Europe, Renault said the Renault Clio remained a core model, ranking as the second best-selling car despite the end of left-hand-drive production during the year. The top-selling model overall was the Dacia Sandero, giving Renault Group the two highest-selling vehicles in the region.

Dacia is also preparing to add a low-cost electric city car and a new hybrid-powered C-segment estate, while Alpine plans to expand its electric lineup with the A390 crossover and an all-electric successor to the A110 sports car.

Renault said the 2025 results highlight steady demand across its brands as European automakers continue to navigate a competitive market shaped by electrification, pricing pressure and shifting consumer preferences.
