Dacia confirmed its third place in sales to private individuals in Europe and maintained its growth with a 5.9% increase in registrations compared to the first half of 2021. A success driven in particular by Dacia Sandero, the best-selling model to private customers in Europe for the fifth year in a row, and Duster, the best-selling SUV model to private customers in Europe since 2018.
“The Alpine brand also confirmed its strong growth as its registrations rose by more than 70% after an already record year in 2021. International expansion continued with the launch of the brand in Slovenia and the Czech Republic, as well as a rich half-year with the launch of the new A110 range, for which the level of orders doubled over the period”.
