Current Lineup Of Products
Honda Cars India Limited currently has 4 models on offer for the Indian market. This includes Jazz, Amaze, WR-V and City. Even though the sedan body type is not selling well in the last few years, Amaze and City continues to sell in good numbers. Both the sedans have also been one of the top sellers in their respective segments. Honda City is still the most sought after model in the C-segment sedan class. Honda Cars India has also started with the export of Honda City for the left-hand drive market. And this is the sole reason for the staggering export growth rate posted by the company.
Honda India’s Plans For The Future
As reported, Honda is looking to launch two new SUVs in the market. With the growing demand for mid-size SUVs and three-row SUVs in India, Honda aims to taste the water. We do not have any official announcements to prove the same. But, the chances are high that we see at least one of the SUVs make it onto our roads this year. Honda India never had a strong SUV offering in the country. But this time, the Japanese carmaker will aim to change the fortune and try to disrupt the market with its offering.
