The Royale sold well initially, but the car had not been re-engineered for Iranian conditions and the low ground clearance coupled with carburettor troubles led to its reputation quickly being tarnished. The car was withdrawn by early 1977, replaced by the locally-built versions of the [[Buick Skylark]], [[Chevrolet Chevy II / Nova|Chevrolet Nova]], and [[Cadillac Seville]] (American origins).<ref name=jamejam>{{cite web | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180502075010/http://jamejamonline.ir/online/2569013432729587656 | archive-date = 2018-05-02 | url = http://jamejamonline.ir/online/2569013432729587656 | date = 2016-10-05 | first = S.M. | last = Qasemi | title = شورولت رویال؛ خودرویی که از آغاز به پایان رسید! | trans-title = The Chevrolet Royale: A car that was finished from the beginning! | language = fa | work = jamejamonline }}</ref>
