Dacia, the Romanian automobile manufacturer, reigned supreme in European car sales during July, leading the pack with the most popular vehicle.
The Dacia Sandero has claimed the top spot in Europe's best-selling cars for the month of July 2025, marking its fourth monthly victory this year. In 2024, the Sandero also held the number one position in overall sales, making it a consistent leader in the European automotive market.
In July 2025, Dacia sold over 24,000 cars, a 9% decrease compared to the same month in 2024. Despite the slight dip in sales, the Sandero managed to outperform the Renault Clio, Volkswagen Golf, Peugeot 208, Volkswagen T-Roc, Volkswagen Tiguan, and Dacia Duster.
The Sandero's success is largely attributed to its production at the Mioveni plant in Romania. This factory, operated primarily by Dacia, a subsidiary of Renault, employs approximately 6,900 people. The Mioveni plant also produces the Bigster, Duster, Logan, Sandero Stepway, and Jogger models, in addition to parts for other Renault plants assembling Logan, Sandero, and Duster models.
While the Sandero's competitors for the July 2025 ranking were identified, no specific information about the competitors of the Dacia Duster was provided. In 2024, the Renault Clio and Volkswagen Golf followed the Sandero in sales ranking.
Interestingly, the Tesla Model Y, Europe's top-selling electric car model in 2024, slipped to fourth place in overall sales behind the Dacia Sandero, Renault Clio, and Volkswagen Golf in 2024.
The Sandero sold best in France, Italy, and Germany in July 2025, further cementing its status as a popular choice among European consumers. However, the manager or head of the Mioveni factory where the Sandero is produced is not explicitly named in available search results.
After the first seven months of 2025, over 150,000 Dacia Sandero units were sold in Europe, indicating a strong start to the year for the compact car. The Sandero's consistent performance and popularity show no signs of waning, making it a significant player in the European automotive market.
