The Renault group (Renault, Dacia and Alpine brands) sold just over 2 million units worldwide in 2022, a figure down 5.9%, but almost 24% if we take into account the withdrawal from the Russian market.
A fall at two levels of reading. In 2022, the Renault group (Renault, Dacia and Alpine brands) sold 2.051 million cars and utility vehicles worldwide. A figure down 5.9% compared to 2021, if we exclude Avtovaz-Lada’s sales from the previous financial year.
Taking into account the withdrawal from the Russian market, a consequence of the war in Ukraine, the fall in sales is much greater, around -24%. Indeed, Lada sales represented just over 385,000 units in 2021, but they were removed from the commercial balance sheet following Renault’s decision to cut ties with the country of Vladimir Putin.
On the next day results of its main brand, this trajectory nevertheless remains quite logical in the current context. Renault even limits damage with the good results of its electrified, hybrid and 100% electric range.
Dacia is up 6.8%
A trend confirmed by Dacia, the “low-cost” brand which has been moving upmarket in recent years, and which is delighted with its first 100% electric car, the Spring, the third best-selling zero-emission vehicle to individuals in Europe this year. last.
All engines combined, Dacia continues to grow, with an increase in sales of 6.8% to 573,800 units. And safe values: the Sandero has remained the best-selling vehicle to individuals in Europe since 2017 and the Duster has established itself as the best-selling SUV for this category of customers since 2018. The Jogger, which can offer up to 7 seats , is having a good first year of marketing and will be the brand’s first hybrid model this year.
Always dynamic Alpine
With reduced volumes, Alpine’s sales are more anecdotal in these commercial results but confirm the dynamism of this very important brand in terms of image. With a third consecutive year of growth, with 3,546 units delivered in 2022, an increase of 33% over one year for the Dieppe brand.
The group is particularly delighted with the “success of the limited series of the iconic A110 range” and the international development with the opening of new markets and the strong growth of its network of +40%”.
