PEUGEOT RECORDS STRONG GROWTH IN RETAIL CAR SALES IN FIRST HALF OF 2026

  PEUGEOT continues to strengthen its position in the retail car market, with its sales of electric cars to private customers increasing by 180% in the first half of 2026.

The brand has registered 11,714 cars in the retail segment year-to-date (YTD), with particularly impressive growth in retail electric car sales. PEUGEOT offers the widest EV line-up of any mainstream European brand, with 2,854 electric cars sold to retail customers so far in 2026.

 

In the LCV market, PEUGEOT’s retail sales are up 48% YTD, while overall LCV sales have also grown by 23% to 14,782. PEUGEOT now has an 8.9% share of the LCV market, supported by the popularity of the PARTNER, which is the UK’s best-selling compact van YTD. The PARTNER accounts for over one fifth of all compact van sales, with a 23.4% share of the segment, equivalent to 8,268 units.

 

Nicola Dobson, Managing Director, PEUGEOT UK, said: “Our results for the first half of 2026 demonstrate that our retail-focused strategy is working, with significant increases in both overall car sales and electric car sales among private customers. The second half of the year promises to be an exciting one, with the launch of the E-208 GTi underlining our commitment to being a brand that is serious about driving pleasure.”

 

PEUGEOT’s electric car line-up consists of nine models, eight of which are eligible for a £1,500 saving through the UK government’s Electric Car Grant (ECG). The adjusted OTR list pricing on E-3008 means that the 73kWh 210hp version now meets the eligibility criteria for the £1,500 grant across all trim levels (Allure, Allure Premium and GT), making this an even more attractive proposition within the electric C-SUV segment.*

 

To support LCV customers making the switch to electric, PEUGEOT recently announced it is delivering price parity on monthly payments between diesel and electric versions of the PARTNER and EXPERT vans across key funding routes, including Conditional Sale, Finance Lease and Business Contract Hire via Stellantis Financial Services (SFS). PEUGEOT is also supporting customers transitioning to electrified vans by offering a free home charger with all new LCV purchases.**
