</p><p>&nbsp; Buoyed by success of <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Renault/Kwid">Kwid</a></u>, <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Renault">Renault</a></u> in the month of June’16 posted some impressive numbers and for the month replaced Honda as 6th largest player in our market. Interestingly, Kwid is competing with <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Maruti_Suzuki/Alto_800">Alto 800</a></u> and is the real tough challenge <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Maruti_Suzuki">Maruti Suzuki</a></u> has faced since 3 decades or so. Many competitors came and went down in history books, but Kwid is turning out to be a blockbuster from Renault. While Maruti is gaining exemplary traction in compact SUV, family sedan and premium hatchback segment, it’s the entry level one where Maruti is facing its stiffest competition yet. Arrival of <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Datsun/Redi_Go">Redigo</a></u> is further intensifying the playground and already Redigo has lodged more than <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/News/Datsun_clocks_3000_sales_of_Redi_Go">10,000 bookings</a></u>. </p><p>&nbsp; Coming to sales numbers for June, <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Honda">Honda</a></u> sold 11,407 units of its entire model portfolio combined where as Renault sold cumulative 11,837 units of all their models on sale in India. As a consequence, Renault became the 6th largest player in our automotive market displacing Honda to 7th. Top 3 sellers for Honda were <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Honda/City">City</a></u>, <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Honda/BRV">BRV</a></u> and <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Honda/Jazz">Jazz</a></u> with sales of 3581, 3064 and 2593 units respectively. <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Honda/Amaze">Amaze</a></u> brought in 1617 units for Honda. Whereas for Renault, Kwid garnered 9459 units, with <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Renault/Duster">Duster</a></u> at 1945 units the second best seller for Renault in India. It’s clear that Kwid is helping Renault become a force to reckon with. Honda’s sales are not as skewed towards one particular model and coming few months will give a fair idea on Honda’s BRV’s market acceptance. For Q1 FY2017, <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Tata">Tata</a></u> became <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/News/Tata_Motors_regain_no_3_spot_in_Q1_FY_2016_17">3rd largest player</a></u> by posting higher sales than Honda.</p><p>&nbsp; Kwid’s sibling, <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Datsun">Datsun</a></u> Redigo also raked up sales meter at 2925 units which is impressive given the relatively limited dealership spread Datsun currently has. In coming times it would be exciting to see how Maruti responds to Kwid and Redigo’s dual attack on a turf it dominated for a better part of 3 decades.</p><p>Source:&nbsp;<u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.autopunditz.com/news/indian-car-sales-figures-june-2016/">Autopunditz</a></u><b></b>
