Renault Triber recorded 1,536 units in August 2026, retaining its position as the brand’s best-selling model. However, dispatches fell 18% YoY from 1,870 units and 13% MoM from 1,762 units.
The Triber contributed approximately 54.0% of Renault’s total volumes during the month. Its decline of 226 units from July accounted for roughly half of the brand’s overall sequential reduction of 451 units, highlighting its influence on Renault’s monthly performance.
Kiger registered dispatches of 474 units, compared with 910 units in August 2025—a 48% YoY decline. In absolute terms, volumes dropped by 436 units, the largest annual reduction among Renault’s models with comparable data.
The Kwid recorded 426 units, up 81% YoY from 235 units in August 2025. This represented an increase of 191 units, making it the only Renault model with a comparable year-ago figure to post annual growth.
The Duster contributed 406 units in August 2026, representing 14.3% of Renault’s total dispatches. Volumes were down 21% MoM from 512 units in July—the steepest percentage decline across the brand’s line-up on a sequential basis.
Auto Punditz Take
Renault’s overall 6% annual decline masks a larger contraction in its three models with year-ago comparisons. Combined dispatches of the Triber, Kiger and Kwid stood at 2,436 units, down 19% from 3,015 units in August 2025. The Duster’s contribution of 406 units narrowed the decline at the brand level.
The Triber continues to anchor Renault’s volumes, while the Kwid’s annual growth provided a partial offset to weaker Triber and Kiger dispatches. With all four models declining month-on-month, the next dispatch cycle will be important for assessing whether volumes recover across the range. Retail registrations would provide additional context on how these wholesale movements translate into customer deliveries.
