French marque recorded a near-doubling in LCV sales here in 2023; Clio propped up car numbers

A near-doubling of light commercial vehicle (LCV) sales pushed Renault to become one of the UK's fastest-growing brands in 2023, while “surprisingly high” Renault Clio sales propped up its car business.

Over the 12 months, Renault sold 71,000 vehicles in the UK market, putting it just behind leader MG in the growth table and above stalwarts including Volkswagen, Audi, and Vauxhall. Of those, 51,000 (72%) were hybrid or electric E-Tech models.

The Renault Group – comprising Renault, Dacia and Alpine – recorded 99,000 vehicle sales, a 33% rise year on year.
