The company sold 9,120 units of the new Baleno, 7,792 units of Celerio while 5,126 units of the Ciaz were sold resulting in an increase of 146%. The highlight is obviously their UV, Vitara Brezza, which posted sales of 10,232 units, thereby becoming the best selling SUV in the country.

Renault Kwid too managed to enter the lucrative Top 10 selling cars list for July 2016 with 9,897 units sold during the past month. However, Renault India registered domestic sales to the extent of 11,968 units in July 2016 as against 1,686 units in July 2015, an increase of 609.8% with the Kwid being the key sales driver.
