[THE INVESTOR] Renault Samsung Motors said on June 1 its May sales fell 15 percent last month from a year.

The automaker sold a total of 20,517 vehicles in May, down from 24,113 units a year earlier, due to slowing demand for its SM3 compact and SM6 flagship sedan, the company said in a statement.

Domestic sales declined 16 percent year-over-year to 9,222 units from 8,702 units a year earlier. Exports also slid 14 percent to 11,295 from 13,109 during the same period, it said.

Exports of the SM3 compact plunged 76 percent year-on-year to 40 units last month and shipments of the Rogue SUV were down 41 percent to 7,250, the company said.

In the January-May period, the carmaker sold a combined 109,080 autos, up 8.3 percent from 100,677 in the year-ago period, it said.
