Amaze, Honda's subcompact sedan first launched in India in 2013, has achieved the milestone of 5 lakh sales in the country, the company has claimed. The car, it said, ‘has become the heartbeat of 5 lakh families’.
In a statement, Takuya Tsumura, President and CEO, Honda Cars India, described the milestone as a ‘reflection of our commitment to the market and our customers’.
“It’s our endeavor to offer latest technology, class-defining products with outstanding comfort, safety and peace of mind,” Tsumura said.
Currently, Amaze is Honda's top-selling model in the Indian market, accounting for more than 40% of the Japanese carmaker's sales in the world's fifth-largest economy.
