The Renault Kwid Facelift has received a good market response

In July 2020, Renault had recorded a whopping growth of 75.5 per cent at 6422 units which was primarily attributed to a low base in July 2019. So compared to July, Renault has registered a month-on-month (MoM) increase in sales of 25.50 per cent in August 2020. Even in June, Renault had managed with a YoY sales decline of 14 per cent. In fact, sales in rural markets as well have been adding substantially to Renault's overall volumes as small markets are now accounting for almost 25 per cent of the total sales. Speaking about the sales growth, Thomas Dubruel, Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, Renault India said, "Continuous engagement with network partners, towards conceptualizing and executing strategies that are helping towards driving volumes strongly in the market."
