SYDNEY – Sept 5, 2011: Renault has maintained its solid growth in Australia with a strong August sales result. According to VFACTS figures released today, Renault delivered 401 new vehicles in August 2011, which equates to sizeable growth of 99.7% year-to-date and an incredible 278.3% increase over August 2010.

Once again the Mégane hatch was the stand out for the brand posting the strongest sales for the month. It was very closely followed by its Fluence sibling highlighting the strength and importance of the small car segment.

Light commercial vehicles also contributed heavily to the result with 36 Kangoo and 47 Trafic delivered to customers in August.

“Once again the Renault brand has demonstrated its resurgence in Australia with our second strongest month for 2011,” said Justin Hocevar, Managing Director of Renault Australia.

“We are in a fantastic position for a strong end to 2012 and to achieve our targets. Our new Sales Director arrives in September and I am confident that he will continue this incredible momentum.”
