SA car sales: Budget hatch and SUVs see Renault off to good start

Renault sold just under 1500 cars in South Africa in the first month of 2019, with the Kwid making up close to a third of the total number.

The diminutive Kwid spearheaded Renault's January sales with over 500 units finding new homes. The French automaker came off a magnificent December 2018 sales month selling 2933 cars. 

Back to 2019 and its the Sandero and Duster that contributed to January's sales. The former sold 293 and the recently-launched Duster saw 220 units sold.
