ItalyIn the first half of 2026, Renault continues to grow by focusing on profitability, customer loyalty, and long-term value rather than just sales volume. While overall group sales remain stable, the composition of registrations has changed significantly, with a strong increase in electric vehicle (EV) sales. According to Ivan Segal, Renault’s Vice President of Global Sales & Operations, the introduction of models like the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric has attracted new customers without cannibalizing traditional models such as the Clio. In Europe, 66.3% of Renault cars sold during this period were electrified, with fully electric models increasing by 63.2% compared to the same period in 2025. Renault aims to further expand the market for electric utility vehicles through upcoming launches later in 2026. The company emphasizes quality over quantity, particularly in the retail channel, which is seen as more profitable and beneficial for maintaining residual car values.
