Renault Korea officially announced on the 1st that it recorded total sales of 4,261 units in August 2026, comprising 2,024 domestic sales and 2,237 export sales. Compared to the same month last year, domestic sales fell by 47.7% and exports declined by 13.6%, resulting in an overall decrease of 34.0%. However, compared to the previous month, domestic sales increased by 18.8% and exports surged by 68.7%, leading to a total rebound of 40.6%. Cumulative sales from January to August this year totaled 40,065 units.

In the domestic market in August, crossover and SUV models across all segments sold steadily, solidifying their market positions. The mid-size crossover Phelante sold 520 units, the D-segment SUV Grand Koleos sold 929 units, and the coupe-style SUV Arkana sold 575 units. Notably, among Renault Korea's cumulative domestic sales from January to August this year, HYBE-led models accounted for 19,630 units, representing 79% of the total, continuing their absolute dominance in eco-friendly powertrains. Since its launch in September 2024, the Grand Koleos has sold a total of 73,087 units over 24 months, with 88.8% of cumulative sales attributed to HYBE-led models.

In the export sector, Polestar 4 led shipments with 1,232 units, followed by Arkana (658 units) and Grand Koleos (346 units), totaling 2,237 units. Despite unstable international conditions in global markets, Renault Korea is actively expecting a performance rebound through strict adjustments to production and shipment schedules, securing additional export volumes for the future.

Meanwhile, starting in September, Renault Korea will offer up to seven years or 140,000 kilometers of free warranty extension to customers purchasing Phelante and the 2027 model year Grand Koleos. This represents industry-leading warranty coverage. Additionally, the company plans to further intensify its efforts to capture the domestic market in the second half of the year through the introduction of the 2027 model year Grand Koleos facelift model, the launch of a new White Edition Etual, and delivery of Phelante Techno trim vehicles.
