[THE INVESTOR] Renault Samsung Motors said on Sept. 1 that its August sales jumped 28 percent from a year earlier on increased exports.

Sales topped 19,469 vehicles in August, up from 15,240 units the previous year, helped by strong overseas demand for its QM6 SUV, the company said in a statement.

Domestic sales fell 9.2 percent on-year to 7,001 cars from 7,713 units. But exports surged 66 percent to 12,468 from 7,527 during the same period, the statement said.

In particular, exports of the QM6 SUV soared to 3,683 last month compared with just 348 a year earlier, it said.

In the January-August period, the carmaker said it sold 181,106 autos, up 15 percent from 157,654 the previous year.
