The company launched the Renault Duster with high expectations, believing that this SUV would replicate the success of the 2012 model. However, sales of this SUV, which was intended to compete with the Creta and Sierra, are showing a monthly decline.

In July, the company sold only 3,293 passenger vehicles. Although this figure is higher than in July of last year (when 2,575 vehicles were sold), representing a 28% year-on-year increase, July sales were lower than in June. In June, 4,063 vehicles were sold, resulting in a 19% drop in sales in July.

The Duster, which can be considered the brand's flagship product, did not perform well in July. Its sales halved compared to the previous month. 1,011 units were sold in June, whereas only 512 were sold in July. This represents a 49% decrease in sales.

Since its launch in March, monthly sales of this SUV have been around a thousand units. However, July recorded the weakest sales performance. Over the period from March, 1,402 units were sold in March, 2,359 in April, 1,267 in May, 1,011 in June, and 512 in July.
