Renault Group reported revenue of €11.4 billion for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 6.8 percent from the same period in 2024. The automotive division generated €9.8 billion, up 5 percent year-on-year, while sales financing through Mobilize Financial Services rose 18.4 percent to €1.6 billion. The company sold 529,486 vehicles globally during the quarter, a 9.8 percent increase compared with the previous year.
The group maintained its full-year 2025 guidance, targeting an operating margin of around 6.5 percent and free cash flow between €1 billion and €1.5 billion. For the first nine months of the year, Renault Group’s revenue reached €39.1 billion, up 3.7 percent from 2024, with 1.7 million vehicles sold worldwide.
Renault, Dacia, and Alpine all contributed to the improvement. The Renault brand ranked third in Europe and reported that more than one-fifth of its quarterly sales were electric vehicles, led by the Renault 5 E-Tech, the top-selling model in the B-segment electric category.
Dacia maintained its focus on retail customers, ranking second in Europe’s passenger car retail market, while its Sandero model continued as Europe’s best-selling vehicle across all sales channels. Alpine more than doubled its sales compared with the same period last year, supported by the launch of the A290 electric sports car.
Renault Group’s electrified vehicle sales increased 58.6 percent in the first nine months of 2025 and accounted for 43.9 percent of total sales. Electric vehicles made up 12.7 percent of sales, more than five percentage points higher than in 2024, while hybrids reached 30.4 percent, up more than eight points year-on-year.
The company continued to focus on its “value over volume” commercial strategy. Retail sales represented 58.4 percent of total sales in the five main European markets—France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom—about 17 points above the market average. Renault reported total inventories of 538,000 vehicles at the end of September, including both group and independent dealer stocks.
International sales showed solid momentum, increasing 17.3 percent in Latin America, 213.7 percent in South Korea, and 46.3 percent in Morocco. France remained the company’s largest market, with 392,802 vehicles sold, followed by Italy with 144,349 and Spain with 127,731.
Revenue growth was supported by a 3.2-point positive volume effect, a 1.0-point positive geographic mix, and a 0.9-point product mix, partly offset by a negative price effect of 0.8 points due to competitive market conditions in Europe.
Renault Group plans to launch several new models in the fourth quarter of 2025, including the Renault Boreal C-SUV, Renault Kwid E-Tech, Alpine A390 C-SUV, and Renault Clio 6, with first deliveries of the Clio 6 expected in early 2026.
Chief Financial Officer Duncan Minto said the company remains committed to its value-focused approach and cost-reduction plan, while preparing a new mid-term strategy aimed at accelerating its transformation and future growth.
Renault Group, based in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, operates four main brands—Renault, Dacia, Alpine, and Mobilize—and sold 2.27 million vehicles in 2024. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality in Europe by 2040.
