Sharing thoughts on the April’22 sales performance, Mr. Yuichi Murata, Director, Marketing and Sales, Honda Cars India Ltd said, “The customer sentiment continues to show improvement and positivity, which is reflected in strong demand. However, the supply chain issues remain a challenge for the industry which is impacting the ability to meet the growing demand. We are hopeful that the situation improves sooner than later, so that the demand – supply equation can be more balanced.”
He further added, “On our new City e:HEV, we have received an overwhelming response from the market, reaffirming the preference for a Strong Electric Hybrid model in the mainstream segment. We will be launching this segment-defining product on May 4th, 2022.”
Currently, Honda is also preparing to launch the new City e:HEV in our market. The strong hybrid version of the company’s most-celebrated nameplate- City, will also be the most fuel-efficient one in its segment with a claimed figure of 26.5 kmpl. The City hybrid comes with a 1.5L Atkinson cycle engine and an electric motor.
