- Since 2022, the Lada brand is no longer owned by Renault and production in Iran has been stopped. As a result, the Renault group has (re)become a medium-sized carmaker, more modest than the BYD, Suzuki, Mercedes or BMW groups. After four consecutive years of decline (from 2019 to 2022), the Renault group's global sales return to growth in 2023, but compared to the 3,884,295 vehicles sold in 2018, the drop in volumes still reaches 42.4% compared to this year.
- Of the 1,548,748 vehicles sold by the Renault brand in 2023, 75% were passenger cars (1,156,895 units) up 6.3% compared to 2022 and 25% were light utility vehicles (391,853 units) up 19.9% compared to 2022.
- Sales of battery electric vehicles (BEV) reached 146,500 units (6.5% of the total) including 84,700 Renaults and 61,800 Dacias.
- Europe (EU + UK + EFTA) represents 69% of the Renault group's sales in 2023 (sales up 19.3%), with France as the leading country (25% of global sales) followed by Italy, Turkey, Germany and Spain. In order to progress globally, Renault plans to launch eight new models in 2024 and 2025, including the 100% electric R4 and R5 which should succeed the Renault Zoé. For its part, Dacia will launch next year the Duster III and Bigster, both with thermal and hybrid engines, and the 100% electric Spring II which will be relocated to Europe and no longer manufactured in China.
