Renault Q1 Revenue Rose 7%, Confirming 2026 Targets

Published: Apr 29, 2026 09:18
[Renault Q1 Revenue Up 7% YoY] In Q1 this year, Renault's revenue grew 7.3% YoY to €12.5 billion (approximately $14.7 billion). Despite production disruptions at its budget brand Dacia, a significant increase in whole-vehicle supply to partners such as Nissan and Geely offset the negative impact. Renault's Douai plant in France produced the Micra car model for Nissan, and Renault provided vehicle distribution services for Geely in Brazil, with the two businesses together contributing 5.9 percentage points to revenue growth. Boosted by this, Renault Group's core automotive business revenue rose 6.5% YoY to €10.8 billion. Renault also confirmed its 2026 operating targets: an operating margin of approximately 5.5%, down from 6.3% in 2025, and automotive free cash flow of approximately €1 billion, compared with €1.47 billion in the same period last year.
