Renault Group has been on a busy cadence lately, with new EVs, fresh hybrids, and new nameplates either launching or ramping up. For shoppers, the big practical question is simple: if you place an order now, how long will you actually wait?
French outlet L’argus recently pulled official delivery windows across Renault, Dacia, and Alpine. The short version is that Renault and Dacia remain fairly reasonable for mainstream models, while Alpine still has longer and less predictable timelines.
These delivery windows are best read as a snapshot of how ordering looks right now, and they can swing based on trim, powertrain, and option choices. In practice, choosing a popular configuration (or being flexible on color and equipment) can make the process smoother, while more specific builds can push you toward the longer end of the estimate. Either way, the figures below help set realistic expectations before you commit to an order.

Renault has generally kept lead times under control, with most models delivering within about three months. That is a meaningful win in a market that has spent the last few years dealing with supply chain volatility.
The notable exception is the Twingo E Tech, the small battery electric city car that currently carries Renault’s longest stated delivery window in France. The R Pass early access group is scheduled to receive first deliveries in June, with broader deliveries following about a month later, depending on configuration.
On the commercial side, most light commercial vehicles ordered in February are expected to arrive in March or April. The models called out for later timing are the Kangoo Van in certain powertrains and the all-electric Trafic Van E Tech, which are pegged for May due to supply constraints at the plant.

Dacia is also sitting in a workable window overall, with most February orders targeting spring delivery.
The quickest arrivals are typically Jogger, Duster, and Bigster, which L’argus lists for April deliveries in many cases. The longer waits mainly show up when you choose specific powertrains. If you want the newer LPG options, expect later dates, with some versions moving to May and certain new hybrid all-wheel-drive configurations stretching to June.
The refreshed Sandero and Sandero Stepway also require more patience, with deliveries commonly landing in May for new orders. The Spring EV is generally in the same ballpark, although stock availability can be tight, and in-stock units can shorten the wait dramatically.
Alpine Delivery Times

Alpine is the outlier. It ranked near the back of the pack for delivery speed, which is not shocking for a low-volume performance brand juggling new products and a shifting lineup.
L’argus points to May delivery timing for A290 and A390 orders, while A110 orders can land sooner, often around April, depending on trim and allocation. Alpine is also approaching the end of A110 production in 2026, with L’argus reporting that current A110 production is set to end in June 2026 as the brand prepares an electric successor.
What This Means for Buyers

If you are shopping for a Renault or Dacia in early 2026, the delivery story is mostly normal again, especially if you stay flexible on trim and powertrain. Alpine buyers should plan for a longer, more variable wait, and they should pay extra attention to allocation, limited stock notes, and the A110’s end of production timing.
