Among the 10 best-selling cars in France, 3 are produced in France
- French carmakers have largely relocated their car production to Spain, Eastern Europe and Morocco over the past twenty years.
- The models that were relocated were above all models from the lower segments (A and B segments), more difficult to make profitable according to Renault and PSA, but yet it is paradoxical to note that Nissan produces its Micra (segment B) in France and that Toyota is producing its Yaris (segment B) in France.
- Of the ten best-selling cars in France in 2020, only three are produced in France: the Peugeot 3008 (seventh sale), the Renault Zoé (ninth sale) and the Toyota Yaris (tenth sale).
- The biggest sales come from abroad: the Renault Clio (first sale) comes from Turkey and Slovenia, the Peugeot 208 (second sale) comes from Slovakia, the Citroën C3 (third sale) comes from Slovakia, the Renault Captur (fourth sale) comes from Spain, the Peugeot 2008 (fifth sale) comes from Spain, the Dacia Sandero (sixth sale) comes from Morocco and Romania, the Renault Twingo (eighth sale) comes from Slovenia.
- In total, 82% of passenger cars sold in France are imported from outside or 77% of vehicles if we include light utility vehicles.
