Renault sold 246,036 new cars in Europe, its home state, in the first quarter of this year, up 3.8% year-on-year. The strong sales of electric vehicles such as electric vehicles and hybrids are outstanding. Renault's electric vehicle sales rose 87.9% year-on-year in the first quarter, while hybrid vehicle sales also rose 46.1% year-on-year.
In particular, the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric, which won the 2025 European Car of the Year, led the Renault brand's performance increase, with sales of more than 17,000 units in the first quarter, ranking first in sales of small electric vehicles in the European market.
Growth outside of Europe is also noticeable. Renault announced the successful settlement of its "International Game Plan" with sales of 140,659 units outside Europe, up 11.6% from the first quarter of last year. Renault's 'International Game Plan' is a strategy to create synergy between Europe and outside Europe by launching a total of eight new cars by 2027 based on five global hubs, including Korea, India, Latin America, Turkey, and Morocco.
Renault Korea in the South Korean market, one of the key hubs of its International Game Plan, sold more than 14,000 new cars in the first quarter of this year alone, up 147.6 percent from a year earlier. In particular, the mid-sized SUV "Grand Koleos" sold 11,341 units in the first quarter of 2025 alone, driving Renault Korea's performance increase. Renault Korea's first new car, Grand Coleos, has been sold more than 33,000 units until March this year since its launch, contributing to Renault Korea's good performance.
In addition, sales rose 21.1% year-on-year to 63,700 units in Latin America based on good performances in Argentina, Colombia and Brazil, while sales in Morocco rose 45.5% compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by the propaganda of the small hatchback Clio and the launch of the small SUV Kardian.
Renault plans to continue its growth by continuing to introduce new cars to the global market in 2025. It will launch a small electric crossover SUV called "Renault 4 E-Tech Electric" in Europe and continue to introduce facelift models of existing major vehicles. In addition, the Renault brand's global influence will be further developed by expanding export regions, such as the full-fledged entry of Grand Corleos into overseas markets.
