Renault India Model Sales : 2019-22

Leaving 2018, Renault was back to a minor 2.5% of the total sales in the country. The Duster was running out of steam, the Capture and Lodgy had both failed. The Range needed something new.

2019/20: In came the Triber (picture above), a small MPV that seemed to be a good car for the market. It became the best selling car in the range and took Renault's total share back over 3%. The Capture and Lodgy said their good byes.

2021: The Duster ended its time here and the Kiger (pic right) arrived. Smaller than the Duster, it is identical in length to the Triber but has an SUV body style. 

In a country where a few brands dominate, finding a niche that enables a brand to be viable isn't easy. The figures below are full years except for 2022, which is for the first five months.

2022: Sales are reasonable but not enough to retain market share, as it returns yet again to well below the 3% mark. Apparently, more models are coming which would help as the present lineup looks a little thin. 

For others in the series, click on the dates: 2011-14; 2015-18.
