Dacia and Renault Group grow again in 2025: Sandero leads Europe, Bigster tops the C-SUV segment

Renault Group closed 2025 with global sales of 2.34 million vehicles, up 3.2% year-on-year, outperforming a market that grew by just 1.6%, according to company data. The result was driven by solid performances from both Renault and Dacia.

Dacia sold 697,408 vehicles in 2025, marking a 3.1% increase compared to 2024 and pushing the brand past the milestone of 10 million vehicles sold since its 2004 relaunch. Sandero remained the best-selling passenger car in Europe across all sales channels, while Bigster, launched in the second quarter of 2025, became the top-selling C-segment SUV among private customers in Europe during the second half of the year.

Dacia ranked second in Europe in retail sales, with a 7.9% market share. Spring reached the top position in the A-segment electric vehicle market for the first time. Electrification accelerated sharply, with hybrid sales up nearly 122%, and one in four Dacia vehicles sold now electrified—double the share recorded in 2024.

Renault delivered 1.63 million vehicles in 2025, also up 3.2%, supported by a 10% rise in passenger car sales. In Europe, Renault climbed to second place in the combined passenger car and light commercial vehicle market. Electric vehicle sales surged by 72.2%, while hybrid sales increased by 17%, with electrified models now accounting for two-thirds of Renault passenger car sales.

Looking ahead to 2026, the group plans to continue its product offensive, including a new A-segment electric model and a C-segment model for Dacia, as well as the electric Twingo E-Tech and the new Clio for Renault, alongside further international expansion.
