Renault India has announce today that from April to July 2020, their network of Sales and Service has grown
Renault India first gained recognition when it launched Duster. Over the years, the auto manufacturer has replicated that success with smaller launches, first Kwid, and then Triber. In July 2020, Renault reported sales growth of 75.5 percent at 6,422 units, on the back of its Triber and Kwid range.
The brand recently launched Triber AMT variant, and added to the Kwid range. Building on the momentum, efforts are now focused on the launch of the all new Duster turbo petrol engine, which the brand says is ‘the most powerful SUV in the segment’. With MoM sales growth being reported from May 2020 onward, Triber AMT, and introduction of Kwid variants in July has evoked positive market response.
