Honda Cars India records a growth of 343 % in May 2012

Honda Siel Cars India sold 10,334 units in the month of May 2012 as against 2,334 units in the corresponding month last year posting a remarkable growth of 343%. Honda Brio led the sales posting   4512 units followed by the Jazz at 1948 units. The Jazz recorded highest sales ever since it was first launched.

The City has been facing dwindling sales as it is facing heat of high petrol prices and competition from diesel cars in the same segment. The CR-V found 21 buyers while the Accord manage to sell 38 units.

Honda desperately needs diesel engines if the company is looking at a higher market share.

Enthused with the sales growth this month, Mr Jnaneswar Sen, Sr. Vice President, Sales & Marketing, HSCI stated “We are extremely delighted with the response to Brio and City as both the models have been consistently posting great numbers. Honda cars offer great value for money and are a preferred choice which is evident from the response we have got from the market. We are confident that we will grow positively this year.”
