In addition to Renault’s impressive sales numbers, they also shined as one of the leaders in private retail car sales.

The total sales of cars and vans for 2010 so far has been 33,234, or a 5 per cent market share, and just private retail alone has reached a significant 5.2 per cent. This means that Renault UK is where it needs to be to reach its 5 per cent market share for cars and vans as is outlined in its current Destination Five project.
