Renault India Model Sales : 2015-18

Market share had dropped during 2014 to 1.8% , but was that simply a blip on the radar? Well. 2015 was a slight improvement but 2016 was a huge lift to 4.5%. What was the catalyst for the upward spike?

2015: The arrival of the Kwid model (top picture) and to a much lesser extent the Lodgy (left). The Kwid is a small crossover hatchback that not only earned Renault a few rupees (no, not quid) but also serious volume. Over 100,000 found owners in 2016. It hit the target.

The Lodgy, a medium sized MPV also chimed in with some useful sales in 2015 but surprisingly was unable to sustain that. 

2017: The Duster was still doing OK but any hope of the Captur (right) capturing a reasonable following didn't materialise. A few other models were discontinued at this point too. 

2018: This left four models and overall share going backwards again. Was there another model that would be introduced to arrest the slide?
