The new Honda Civic was launched in March 2019 and since then has managed to catch the eyes of customers interested in D-segment sedans.

This reaffirms our confidence in the sedan category that there are customers who prefer sedans for their stylish looks and superb driving dynamics. We are thankful to our esteemed customers who have reaffirmed their love for Civic and helped it lead the segment sales.”
