Renault group sales down 21.3% worldwide in 2020
- The Renault group (Renault, Dacia, Lada, Samsung, Jinbei-Huasong and Alpine brands) sold 2,949,849 light vehicles (passenger cars – PCs and light utility vehicles - LUV) in 2020, down 21.3% compared to 2019, in a market global automotive industry down 14.2%. Passenger cars (PCs) represented 82.5% of Renault group sales in 2020, down 22.2% compared to 2019. Light utility vehicles (LUVs) limited their decrease to 16.8%.
- The group's PC & LUV sales break down as follows: 1,787,121 Renault (-24.1%), 520,765 Dacia (-29.2%), 383,983 Lada (-7%), 156,331 Jinbei-Huasong (-3.4%), 90,300 Renault-Samsung (+ 14.2%) and 1,526 Alpine (-68.4%).
- It was therefore Dacia that suffered the biggest drop (if we put aside Alpine, which produces very low volumes). We can explain this decline by the end of life of Logan and Sandero models, but also of Dokker and Lodgy. The new generations of Logan and Sandero have just been unveiled. Regarding the strong growth in sales of electric cars in 2020, we can add that the lack of this type of engine in Dacia range has played against it, which will be corrected by the launch of the BEV Spring at the very end of the year. The Dacia range will be completed in 2021 with a 7-seater Duster which will replace the old Logan station wagon.
- On the Renault side, the brand sold 115,888 BEVs in 2020, including 100,657 Zoé, a model which for the first time exceeded 100,000 annual sales and became again the best-selling electric model in Europe.
- By region, Europe (-25.8% in 2020) represented nearly half of the group's sales (49%), ahead of Russia (16%), Latin America (9%), China ( 5%), Turkey (5%) India (3%), Korea (3%), Morocco (2%), Algeria (2%) and Iran (2%). China is mainly represented by Jinbei-Huasong and Korea by Renault-Samsung.
