Honda Cars India reported its sales for April 2023 and the company sold 5,313 units in the domestic market last month. Backed by just two models - Honda City and Honda Amaze - the automaker registered a 32 per cent decline in volumes last month when compared to 7,874 units in April 2022. Exports stood at 2,363 units in April, slightly higher than the 2,042 units shipped overseas during the same period last year.

With respect to month-on-month figures, Honda’s volumes declined by 20.61 per cent when compared to 6,692 units sold in March this year. The decline also comes after the Japanese auto giant opted for a leaner model range discontinuing the fourth-generation Honda City, Jazz, and WR-V amidst the transition to the BS6 Phase 2 emission norms from April onwards. The Amaze is the manufacturer’s most affordable offering, followed by the City and City Hybrid.
