Honda Malaysia has achieved its annual sales target for 2023, surpassing 80,000 units in total sales. This accomplishment ensures the company’s continued dominance in the Non-National Passenger Vehicle Segment for the tenth consecutive year.

Notably, 2023 saw the successful launch of four new models: WR-V, City, Civic Type R, and the all-new CR-V. The top-selling models included City, HR-V, and City Hatchback, contributing 30%, 25%, and 13% respectively to overall sales. The WR-V, HR-V, CR-V, and Civic secured the top positions in their respective segments.

Despite challenges in the competitive market, Honda Malaysia’s Managing Director and CEO, Mr. Hironobu Yoshimura, expressed gratitude for the strong support from dealers, the Malaysian Government, and loyal customers. The launch of the WR-V played a significant role in the company’s success, with the RS variant contributing 60% of total sales.
