In the first half of 2026, Renault Group recorded a stable sales level worldwide, with 1,165,133 units sold (-0.4% compared to the first half of 2025). This figure highlights a more solid qualitative trend, resulting from the complementarity of the Group’s three brands: greater focus on value, attention to sales quality, and acceleration of the range’s electrification path. In this context, the volume selection strategy – oriented towards profitability and commercial sustainability – allows performance to be maintained even in a complex competitive environment.
