Renault India registered 4,113 units in May 2026, posting a strong 64% year-on-year growth compared to 2,502 units sold in May 2025. The growth was primarily supported by the new-generation Duster, while the Triber continued to remain Renault’s highest-selling model in India.
However, on a month-on-month basis, Renault’s sales declined by 24%, as dispatches fell from 5,413 units in April 2026 to 4,113 units in May 2026.
Renault Sales May 2026 – Model-wise Performance
Model | May 2026 | May 2025 | YoY Growth | April 2026 | MoM Growth |
Triber | 1,890 | 1,411 | 34% | 1,917 | -1% |
Duster | 1,267 | - | 0% | 2,359 | -46% |
Kiger | 656 | 551 | 19% | 727 | -10% |
Kwid | 300 | 540 | -44% | 410 | -27% |
Total | 4,113 | 2,502 | 64% | 5,413 | -24% |
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.
