With 215,448 vehicles delivered (+ 41.1%), Lada also performed well. The brand is mainly established in Russia (200,219 vehicles sold, + 51%). It has also strengthened its leading position there with 23% market share, its best result over the last ten years.

Same story at Alpine: + 43.2% increase and 1,001 cars sold. However, the results are less encouraging for Renault Samsung Motors (-49.4% and 26,908 vehicles).
