Triber was the brand’s best-selling model in May 2026 with 1,890 units. The compact 7-seater posted a healthy 34% YoY growth over the 1,411 units sold in May 2025.
-
Duster recorded 1,267 units in May 2026. However, compared to April 2026, Duster sales dropped sharply by 46%, falling from 2,359 units to 1,267 units. This could indicate a normalisation after initial dispatch momentum or supply and allocation adjustments after the launch phase.
-
Kiger sold 656 units in May 2026, growing 19% YoY from 551 units in May 2025. Month-on-month, Kiger sales declined by 10%, from 727 units in April 2026 to 656 units in May 2026.
-
Kwid remained the weakest performer in the lineup, with sales of just 300 units in May 2026. This was a steep 44% YoY decline compared to 540 units sold in May 2025.
Key Takeaways
Renault’s May 2026 performance was a mixed bag. The brand delivered strong 64% YoY growth, largely due to the addition of the Duster and better performance from Triber and Kiger. However, the 24% MoM decline shows that Renault’s sales momentum softened compared to April 2026.
The Triber remained Renault’s volume backbone, while the Duster brought fresh SUV-led traction. The Kiger maintained moderate growth, but the Kwid continued to decline sharply, underlining the shrinking demand in the entry-hatchback space.
