Honda Cars India limited announces its sales report for December 2021. The carmaker has sold a total of 7,973 units in the domestic market for the given period. In terms of international business, Honda exported a total of 1,165 units. The figures, when compared to December 2020, stood at 8,638 units for the domestic market and 713 units for export.
For the entire calendar year of 2021, HCIL posted a total sales of 89,152 units. Meanwhile the same for last year stood at 70,593 units. This translates to a growth of 26 per cent. With the addition of new markets in the export business, Honda registered a growth of 600 per cent. For CY 2021, the export figure clinched a staggering 16,340 units. Meanwhile, for CY 2020, the figure stood at 2,334 units.
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.
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.
