Citroën reported today that global sales for the first half of 2026 are up 4.4% with 373,700 units sold worldwide.

During the first half of the year, orders for electric vehicles rose by 98% compared with the same period last year and they account for one-third of the brand’s total orders.

Europe remains a key driver of these strong results, with an 8% increase and a market share of 3.4% (up 0.1pt from 2025). The brand has seen growth in five key countries:

Within Europe, the French market has performed particularly well in the first half of the year, consolidating Citroën’s position as the third-largest brand in the passenger car and light commercial vehicle market.

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.

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.

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.

In Portugal, Citroën has risen to the top of the market for electric light commercial vehicles.

Beyond Europe, Citroën is seeing positive results across the rest of its markets;

The Middle East Asia region is holding up particularly well, with a 6.4% increase in volume and a 0.2pt rise in market share to 2.2%.

• 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%.
• Morocco is showing strong dynamics, with an 40% increase in volume and a market share of 3.5% (up 0.6pt compared to 2025).
• 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%.

In the India Asia Pacific region, India was a major contributor to the 35% increase in sales volume. In 2026, Citroën 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.

In the Latin South America 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%.

After revamping its range, Citroën is now embarking on a new chapter in its history and says that the Paris Motor Show, to be held next October, will be one of the first major milestones in a next chapter for the brand.
