KUALA LUMPUR: Honda Malaysia announced that its 2022 car sales jumped 51 per cent compared to the previous year, totalling more than 80,200 units.
In a statement today, it said that sales exceeded the initial sales target of 80,000 units and allowed Honda to retain its position as the No.1 car brand in the non-national passenger vehicle segment for nine consecutive years since 2014.
Honda Malaysia said the City, City Hatchback and the HR-V were the top three best-selling models.
"2022 was a challenging year with global chip shortage and flood disasters that have affected our car production.
"We are working closely with the suppliers and dealers to ensure timely delivery for customers, especially those who booked their cars during the sales tax exemption period,” said Honda Malaysia managing director and chief executive officer Hironobu Yoshimura.
Honda Malaysia added that in terms of regional sales, the Central region was the highest contributor at 51 per cent, followed by the Southern and Northern regions at 19 per cent and 17 per cent respectively. - Bernama
