This was followed by the Duster SUV in July and the mid-size sedan Scala in September. Out of the 5924 units sold in December, the Duster accounted for 4485 units, the Scala 820 units, Pulse 515 units, Fluence 68 units and the Koleos 36 units.
Commenting on the sales figures, Marc Nassif, managing director, Renault India said, “It is very satisfying for all of us at Renault to close the year with sales of over 35,000 units and delivering what we promised in the beginning of the year to our prospective customers. A full range of cars with five models, a pan India network which will be close to 100 strong soon reflecting our commitment to the Indian market and as promised we reached our target of multiplying our sales 20 times over that of last year when we launched in June, 2011.”
