Our completely revamped range is resonating with the public, our customers are responding positively, and our vision of more accessible mobility is gaining increasing traction, particularly in the electric segment. These results are a testament to the dedication of our teams and our network. And they inspire us to go even further, with the second half of the year marking a new phase in our growth strategy,\u201d said&nbsp;Xavier Chardon, CEO of Citro\u00ebn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EUROPE CENTRAL TO THE BRAND&#8217;S STRONG PERFORMANCE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Europe, Citro\u00ebn recorded solid results, with the brand outperforming the market in the first half of 2026. Registrations have thus risen by 8% since the start of the year and market share stands at 3.4%, an increase of 0.1 points compared with last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brand has seen growth in five key countries:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; France: 8.4% (+0.2 percentage points year-on-year),<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Germany: 2.0% (+0.1 percentage points compared with last year)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; United Kingdom: 2.0% (+0.4 percentage points compared with last year)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Portugal: 5.7% (+0.2 percentage points compared with the previous year),<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Austria: 2.5% (+0.1 percentage points compared with the previous year)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, during the first half of the year, orders for electric vehicles rose by 98% compared with the same period last year. This strong upward trend now means that electric vehicles account for one-third of the brand\u2019s total orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within Europe, the French market has performed particularly well in the first half of the year, thereby consolidating its position as the third-largest brand in the passenger car and light commercial vehicle market. Volumes are up by 3.8%, bringing the market share to 8.4%. The success of the C3, the C3 Aircross and the new C5 Aircross has, in particular, driven a 7% increase in passenger car sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electric vehicle sales are also gaining momentum for the brand in France, with BEV sales up by 20.3%, driven by the performance of the \u00eb-C3 and \u00eb-C3 Aircross (top 2 in their respective segments), whilst the new \u00eb-C5 Aircross has already entered the top 10 in its segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With regard to the models in the range, the C3 continues to impress, climbing into the top 2 in the B-Hatch BEV segment in France and Spain, and even taking first place in Italy and Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the new C5 Aircross, orders have risen by 47% compared with the previous year, whilst registrations have increased by 7% in France, 10% in Spain and 80% in Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the Berlingo, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, remains a key model for the brand, with registrations continuing to rise (+10% in France, +3% in Spain). These strong results have placed it in the top 3 in France and Portugal, in the top 2 in Italy, and have even secured it the number one spot in the C-Van segment in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Portugal, <a href=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/fr\/citroen-celebre-les-40-ans-de-la-2-cv-cocorico\/\">Citro\u00ebn <\/a>has risen to the top of the market for electric light commercial vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ENCOURAGING PERFORMANCE GLOBALLY<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Europe and France have been particularly strong engines for the brand\u2019s momentum, Citro\u00ebn is seeing positive results across the rest of its markets. This resulted in 373,700 units sold worldwide, representing a 4.4% increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MEA region is holding up particularly well, with a 6.4% increase in volume and a 0.2pt rise in market share to 2.2%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite a bearish market, Turkey maintained its 2025 sales volume at 30,000 vehicles and thus saw its market share increase from 4.8% to 5.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morocco is showing strong dynamics, with an 40% increase in volume and a market share of 3.5% (up 0.6pt compared to 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tunisia also posted excellent results in the first half of the year, with a 101% increase in volume and a market share jumping from 3.5% to 7.2%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the IAP region, India was a major contributor to the 35% increase in sales volume. In 2026, Citro\u00ebn recorded just over 5,000 sales in six months, representing a 107% increase compared to 2025 in that country. The C3 remains the top-selling model in terms of volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, in the LATAM region, although results are more contrasting, there are still promising performances in Argentina, which has maintained a 4% market share, and in Colombia, where sales are up 77% and the market share now exceeds 1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After revamping its range, Citro\u00ebn is now embarking on a new chapter in its history. The Paris Motor Show, to be held next October, will be one of the first major milestones in this new chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aes-custom-banner\">\n<!-- START ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar uri = 'https:\/\/imp.tradedoubler.com\/imp?type(img)g(25854306)a(2352007)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);\ndocument.write('<a href=\"https:\/\/clk.tradedoubler.com\/click?p=377429&#038;a=2352007&#038;g=25854306\" target=\"_blank\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+uri+'\" width=\"336\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\"><\/a>');\n<\/script>\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citro\u00ebn maintains a good momentum in the first half of 2026 with global sales up 4.4% Citro\u00ebn began 2026 with strong momentum, posting a solid first quarter driven in particular by its performance in Europe.
