DACIA RECORDS THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR OF GROWTH

Three years after launching in the UK, Dacia’s sales are going from strength-to-strength thanks to the brand’s no-nonsense approach to motoring. According to figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, Dacia sales in 2015 were up by 9.9% on the previous year, outperforming the UK car market which grew by 6.3%

Continuing its place in the Top 10 best-selling five-door B-segment cars, 16,403 Dacia Sandero and Sandero Stepway hatchbacks were sold in 2015.

Commenting on the performance, Ken Ramirez, Renault Group UK Managing Director, said: “Dacia arrived in the UK less than three years ago and immediately gained popularity amongst UK car buyers thanks to the brand’s clear value for money and no-nonsense approach. This philosophy has attracted 18 per cent more retail buyers than 2014, proving the brand has an enduring appeal in the UK. We look ahead to further growth in 2016 and continuing the delivery of our GO5+ mid-term plan objectives.”

The Renault Group, which comprises of Renault cars, vans and Dacia, significantly outpaced the UK vehicle market during 2015, with sales totalling 127,343 vehicles, up 17.4% from the year before and outpacing a total market growth of 7.4%, making Renault Group the fastest growing volume franchise in the UK, outperforming the overall market for the third consecutive year.
