Renault has emerged as a strong brand in the Indian market this year. The company is witnessing a steady growth in terms of sales and the automaker is expecting to sell about 1 lakh cars in the country before the end of 2016. As stated by Sumit Sawhney, CEO and MD Renault India, the company has sold about 87,000 cars between January to August this year, of which 65,000 units are of the Kwid hatchback alone.
The launch of the new Kwid 1.0-litre version will further boost the company’s confidence in reaching the one lakh sales mark this year. Moreover, the company is also planning on introducing an AMT option on its popular selling entry-level car, thereby offering the model with a variety of features that customers have been longing for quite a while now. Apart from the Kwid, the Duster compact SUV from Renault has also been performing well in the Indian market, especially after the launch of the new Duster AMT this year.
Along with bringing out updates, Renault will also be introducing one new car every year. Moreover, the automaker also sees the country as an export hub and will soon export India-made cars to the SAARC countries Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. Apart from India, Renault also has a production facility in Brazil, however, for the popular selling Kwid hatchback, India will remain as an export hub.
