Renault said the C-segment and above represented 37% of sales with a range of four vehicles: Arkana, Megane E‑TECH electric, Austral and Espace E-TECH Hybrid. On these models, high trim versions represented a large majority of sales, the company said.

Electrified passenger car sales continued to increase to reach 48% mix of sales, up 8 percentage points versus 2023 Q1. Renault said this was down to the success of E-TECH Hybrid engines.

Electric passenger cars represented 10.5% mix of sales and the company said their sales will continue to grow with the upcoming launches of Scenic E-TECH electric, Renault 5 E-TECH electric and Renault 4 E-TECH electric.

Renault said 2024 promises to be a ‘historical year for the Renault brand’, with 7 new launches:

  • 2 new all-electric vehicles with Scenic E-TECH electric and Renault 5 E-TECH electric.
  • 2 new hybrid vehicles in Europe: Rafale E-TECH and Symbioz.
  • New Renault Master (ICE and all-electric versions).
  • 2 new vehicles in markets outside Europe: Kardian and a Renault Korea Motors vehicle (D-SUV).
