Honda making merry with the City (~3700) due to lack of competition. Surprising to see that it is clearly outselling even Kushaq and Taigun (~2800 each) [which are more or less in the same price bracket] despite being a relatively older product and committing the criminal offence of being a sedan

With Suzuki and Hyundai clearly focussing more on getting the SUV body style in all sizes, Ciaz and Verna are unlikely to get any major updates. Salvia should spice things up a little, I just hope they get the pricing right.

Also, Honda, you are still selling in decent numbers and have a relatively good brand value in the market. Please put in some effort in the Indian market before it is too late.

Just 2 units of Marazzo were sold! This is a travesty. A great vehicle just waiting to be killed any time.

I'm curious, does anyone know the distribution of sales between the latest generation of the Honda City and the older car?

Honda's numbers don't look as terrible (to me) as I thought they were after reading this thread, but I think they really need to stay in the news more often, and I don't mean raffles for guessing features of the new Amaze. I mean a new launch in a hot segment, or segment-first technology like AEB which they offer on the ASEAN-market City, or a good independent crash test result for India.

It looks like production of the VW Polo hasn't stopped after all and while this is good news for most, it also unfortunately means that Volkswagen hasn't yet joined the small list of manufacturers with 100% fitment of ESC in India (Currently only Škoda and MG).

Has Datsun stopped production of the GO and GO Plus?

Some interesting numbers there for Tata. Altroz outnumbered i20. Nexon outnumbered every other car in its segment (Brezza and Urban Cruiser combined). Tigor outnumbered Aura and Xcent. Safari outnumbered Alcazar.

We don't know the actual reason behind these numbers for Hyundai. But, these factors helped Tata to gain second spot and Hyundai to reach the third.

I would love to be proven wrong.

TATA also has assembly plants [JLR] and auto parts plants in China. They talk directly to small scale chip producers and thus leveraging it.
Also maybe TATA had too much surplus chip which is being used now.

Where can we find the Force Gurkha sales numbers?
