Honda Civic clocks nearly 2300 unit sales, gaining 80 percent market share in less than a month.
Skoda Octavia and Toyota Corolla Altis continue to swap places, but it바카라™s the former that finished second in March.
The Hyundai Elantra, which is due for a facelift, remains a distant fourth.
In a space that has barely managed to breach 500 unit sales per month, the Honda Civic바카라™s entry has caused a phenomenal surge in segment sales. Launched on March 7, the Civic managed an 80 percent share in the segment in its first month. Let바카라™s take a deeper look at the numbers for a better perspective.
Key Takeaways:
Honda Civic바카라™s dream comeback: Launched after a hiatus of six years and skipping a whole generation, the Civic has made a comeback during tough times -- a time when sedans are losing ground to SUVs, especially in the mid-size segment. Despite all that, the Civic garnered nearly 2,300 unit sales despite having a more premium starting price tag (Rs 17.70 lakh) than all its rivals. Will the demand remain consistent? That is something that only time will tell.
Fight for the second spot: The Octavia and Corolla Altis have traded blows in the past couple of months and while the Toyota had a comfortable lead over all other cars in February, the Skoda clawed back in by taking the second spot after the Civic, registering a 130 percent growth within a month. The Corolla Altis and Octavia are neck and neck in terms of their 6 months average demand as well.
Back-bencher Elantra: The Hyundai Elantra is at a distant fourth with double-digit sales. It did better its February numbers by four units though. The Hyundai sedan is awaiting a significant facelift that is expected to launch later this year.
The BIG question: Does Civic바카라™s revival bring life to the segment?
Up until now, this space was just about crossing the 500 unit mark in total but the Civic바카라™s entry has put it in a respectable position, at least for the month of March 2019, with numbers closing in on the 3,000 mark. The burning question that comes up is whether this is a short-lived success based on a burst of nostalgia, or will the demand continue gaining ground in the days to come? We바카라™ll leave that for time to answer.
