The Dacia Sandero is the most produced car in "Greater Europe"
- Based on production figures calculated for the first 11 months of 2025, Inovev estimated the production volume of each model worldwide for the entire year. Here is the Top 20 by model (passenger cars + light utility vehicles) for the wider European region (the 30 EU countries + Turkey + Morocco), one of the European delimitations frequently used by Inovev for its automotive production analyses. Indeed, most of the cars produced in Turkey and Morocco are exported to continental Europe. This wider European region produced 15.9 million vehicles in 2025.
- Given that the production gap between the two most produced cars in this region, the Dacia Sandero and the Renault Clio, is very small at the end of 2025, and that car registration figures for Europe for the entire year are not yet available (they will be released at the end of January 2026), it is difficult to differentiate between the two models at present. However, it is already certain that these two cars far surpass all their competitors in this region, both in terms of registrations and production. The Dacia Sandero (produced in Morocco) and the Renault Clio (produced in Turkey) will end 2025 with comparable production volumes of just over 300,000 units each.
- The two Renault Group models easily outperform the Volkswagen Tiguan and Golf (made in Germany), which occupy third and fourth positions. The BMW X1 (made in Germany) is in fifth position, ahead of the Ford Transit Custom (made in Turkey), which is the most produced commercial vehicle in the Europe-Morocco-Turkey region.
- The Toyota Yaris Cross, which is the most produced car in France, takes sixth place (it is the most produced Japanese car in the region), ahead of the Opel Corsa (made in Spain) and the Toyota Yaris (made in France and Czech Republic).
- It should be noted that the maximum production level in "greater Europe" is projected to be around 300,000 vehicles in 2025, while Chinese vehicles are produced in China at a rate of over 500,000 units per year (See analysis 2026-01-09 below).
