Poissy, April 17^th, 2026 – Citroën begins 2026 with strong momentum, confirming its return to growth on both a global and European scale. In the first quarter of 2026, the brand sold 190,000 vehicles worldwide, representing a 10% increase. Across Europe, Citroën posted an even stronger performance, with volumes up 12.3%, reaching 3.5% market share (+0.3 points).

Driven by a fully renewed product range, Citroën is reaping the benefits of a clear and consistent strategy focused on delivering accessible, simple and relevant mobility solutions for customers worldwide.

“The results from the first months of the year are very encouraging, both globally and in Europe, where we are growing our market share in almost every country. The renewal of our product range and our strategy based on customer choice—particularly our multi-energy offering—are clearly paying off. We offer more space and comfort at a more accessible price, and the ë-C3 is a perfect illustration of this: it is a true five-seater, spacious, with a significant trunk capacity, and it is also the most affordable electric car on the French market,” said Xavier Chardon, CEO of Citroën.

CITROËN: A BRAND IN GLOBAL GROWTH

The first quarter of 2026 confirms Citroën’s strong return to growth, with significant commercial progress both in Europe and in its home market. In France, Citroën achieved a 7.3% increase, bringing its market share to 9.2% (+0.7 points) and positioning the brand as the third-largest player in the market.

These results demonstrate the relevance of Citroën’s strategic choices and its ability to deliver products that resonate with customers.

A HIGH-PERFORMING RANGE ACROSS ALL SEGMENTS

This positive momentum is supported by a comprehensive and coherent product range designed to meet a wide spectrum of needs – from private individuals to professionals, from urban users to long-distance drivers.

At the heart of this success, the new C3 has established itself as a true game changer. By combining accessibility, comfort, and a multi-energy offering, it plays a key role in democratizing electric mobility. Its strong performance across Europe reflects both its relevance and its broad appeal. Notably, electric versions already represent 32% of its sales mix.

• Top 1 in the B-Hatch BEV segment in Italy
• Top 2 in the B-Hatch segment in Italy
• Top 2 in the B-Hatch BEV segment in Spain
• Top 3 in Portugal

Alongside it, the C3 Aircross stands out in its segment thanks to its unique combination of up to seven seats, exceptional versatility, and highly competitive pricing. Its growing success is reflected in 50,000 units sold in 2025, a strong order intake in early 2026 with a 57% increase, a notable 27% share of electric versions (BEV mix), and recognition as the “Best Users’ Car of Europe 2026.”

In the C-segment, the new C4 continues to strengthen Citroën’s presence. Combining bold design, high levels of equipment, and renowned comfort, it has achieved remarkable growth, particularly in France where registrations are up by 55%, placing it among the segment leaders. Its strong performance is also confirmed across Europe, ranking first in Spain and among the top players in Portugal.

The new C5 Aircross represents the next step in Citroën’s product offensive and electrification strategy. Designed to deliver a true “comfort-class” travel experience, it offers generous interior space and extended room for passengers, reinforcing the brand’s signature focus on well-being on board. With an electric range of up to 680 km and a multi-energy offering, it provides both freedom of choice and the ability to travel long distances. Initial market feedback has been very encouraging, with a strong increase in orders and registrations across the main European markets, namely a 60% rise in orders and a 40% increase in registrations.

CONTINUED SUCCESS IN LCVs AND MICRO-MOBILITY

Citroën continues to benefit from solid positions in light commercial vehicles, a key pillar of its overall performance.

The iconic Berlingo, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, remains a benchmark in its category, maintaining leadership positions in several European markets (such as France, Ireland and Slovakia). It also ranks Top 2 in Slovenia and Top 3 in Belgium and Norway.

The Berlingo Van further reinforces this momentum, thanks to its versatility, multiple body sizes, and a range of powertrains suited to diverse professional needs, making it one of the brand’s strongest contributors in this segment.

In parallel, Citroën continues to lead in micro-mobility with Ami. As a pioneer in this segment in Europe, it confirms its appeal, notably with the success of the Ami Dark Side limited edition (400 monthly orders).

Its upcoming availability in dealerships will further strengthen customer proximity and support its continued growth.

 “POWER OF CHOICE”: A CUSTOMER-FOCUSED STRATEGY

At the core of Citroën’s strategy is a clear commitment to offering customers the freedom to choose. By providing internal combustion, hybrid, and fully electric powertrains across its range, the brand ensures that each customer can find a solution adapted to their needs and usage.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AT THE HEART OF PRIORITIES

Citroën places customer satisfaction at the core of its transformation. The brand’s ambition is to rebuild trust and strengthen relationships with customers, partners, and its entire ecosystem.

A new department dedicated to customer satisfaction, reporting directly to the brand’s CEO, is already operational, with concrete actions in place and initial encouraging results. Its objective is clear: to ensure a seamless, high-quality customer experience at every stage of the journey.
