Car Junction Insights

Honda’s September numbers show that the company faced pressure in both its domestic and export businesses during the month. However, the 20.15% domestic growth recorded in Q3 provides a more positive picture of its recent performance. The upcoming updated Elevate and Honda’s future electric SUV could give the company additional momentum as it expands its product lineup.
