Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has retained the No. 1 position in Thailand’s passenger car market for the third year in a row, with cumulative sales for 2017 of 127,768 units (including the Honda BR-V, HR-V, and CR-V) and captured a 32.2% market share. Honda also ranked in the No. 1 position for cumulative sales in three main market segments, which are sub-compact, compact, and SUV vehicles. The company is committed to moving forward to develop automobiles and services in return for a growing number of customers who put their trust in the Honda brand.
Officer of Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd., said, “Last year, Thailand’s overall automobile market continued to recover, growing about 13%, which is the highest growth in the past five years. Honda’s sales in 2017 were 19% higher than 2016 because of overwhelming customer acceptance of the five automobile models we launched last year – the Honda City, Honda Civic Hatchback, Honda CR-V, Honda Jazz, and Honda Mobilio, as well as customer confidence in the quality of Honda products. As a result, Honda has been ranked No. 1 in the Thai passenger car market for the third year in a row.”
