Yoichiro Ueno, President and CEO, Honda Cars India Ltd. said, "After a severe impact of demonetisation in Nov'16, the Dec'16 sales continued to be challenging. We expect the New Year to gradually bring back normalcy in the market. During 2016, HCIL sold a total of 1,56, 107 units in domestic market and we are thankful to our customers to have continued faith in the Honda brand."
(2017 Honda City Facelift)Usually, it has always been the Honda City which was the best performer, month after month. This time, it has been taken over by the Honda Amaze. For the time period of January, 2016 to December, 2016 Honda sold 57,619 units of the Honda City and 35,388 units of the Amaze. The last time the City sales were lesser than the Amaze sales was in September, 2015 when Honda sold 5,702 units of the Amaze and 4,827 units of the City.
With the Honda City facelift already in the works, we believe that the City will soon regain its lost splendour in the Indian automotive market.
