Renault Group sold 2.26 million vehicles in 2024
- The Renault group sold 2,264,815 vehicles worldwide in 2024, compared to 2,235,345 in 2023, which represents a small increase of 1.3% and allows the carmaker to rank 15th worldwide, behind BMW and Mercedes, but ahead of Changan and Tesla. The small increase in 2024 after a 2023 at +9% is explained by the limited success of the group's electric vehicles, in particular the Mégane and Scénic. The Renault 5 E-Tech should do better, but its launch was late and could not compensate for the discontinuation of the Zoé and Twingo electrics during the year. The year 2025 should be more prosperous with the ramp-up of the Renault 5 E-Tech and Renault 4 E-Tech.
- Renault group sales break down as follows: 1,577,351 Renault (+1.8%) including 25% utility vehicles, 676,340 Dacia (+2.7%), 4,585 Alpine (+5.9%). It should be noted that Renault had offloaded the Russian Autovaz (Lada) and the Chinese Jinbei-Huasong in 2022. As for the Samsung brand, it became Renault Korea (figures are integrated into Renault) with a stake of Geely which amounts to 34%.
- Dacia has for the first time placed its Sandero sedan at the top of the European market in 2024. For 2025, we expect the ramp-up of the new Duster and Bigster. At Alpine, we expect the production version of the battery electric SUV presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 2024. The brand plans to increase its sales tenfold in the long term with this model.
- Sales of full-hybrid vehicles (HEV) increased by 45%, representing 25.5% of Renault Group sales (+7.5 points compared to 2023). The Renault brand consolidated its second place in Europe in this category behind Toyota.
- Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) represent 9% of Renault Group sales in 2024, in a year of transition in terms of product plan. This is starting to be reflected in the mix for the fourth quarter of 2024, which stands at more than 12% thanks to the ramp-up of the Renault 5 E-Tech. For the Renault brand, 13% of its sales are battery electric in 2024.
