In the first quarter of the year Renault marks a solid commercial performance in Italy, with 26.266 passenger cars and commercial vehicles registered and a market share of 4,9%. The result translates into a volume growth of 12,3% compared to 2025, higher than the market average, and allows the brand to climb the manufacturer rankings up to fourth place (it was 7° in 2025). This progress also reflects the effectiveness and solidity of the Renault Network in the country, which confirms itself as one of the main players in the Italian market.
