In the domestic market, despite economic instability such as rising oil prices, sales increased, particularly centered around hybrid models, resulting in an 8.4% year-on-year increase last month. Hybrid model sales reached 5,999 units, accounting for over 90% of domestic sales.

The "Fillant," which began deliveries in the second week of March, led the performance with 4,920 units sold. This new E-segment crossover model combines the spaciousness of an SUV with the quietness and comfort of a sedan. It features a hybrid E-Tech powertrain, a bold and charismatic design, a premium tech lounge concept interior, and offers advanced AI-based connectivity services.

The D-segment sport utility vehicle (SUV) "Grand Koleos" recorded 1,271 units sold, with the hybrid E-Tech accounting for 1,028 units, representing over 80% of its sales.

The coupe-style SUV "Arkana" registered 438 units sold. Last month, Arkana introduced its new 2027 model year update. The 2027 Arkana is offered in a single iconic trim for both the hybrid E-Tech and 1.6 GTe models, reflecting strong customer preference, and comes standard with popular features such as ventilated front seats, further optimizing its value proposition.

Exports also rose by 10.6% compared to the same period last year. This included 1,031 units of the Grand Koleos (exported as the New Renault Koleos), 588 units of the Arkana, and 747 units of the Polestar 4, an electric performance SUV, exported to North America.
