Honda to discontinue production and sale of WR-V, Jazz in India: Report
In India, the production and sale of these two models will end in 2023, as per the report.
Honda has already dropped three cars – CR-V, BR-V and Mobilio – from its lineup in India. Now, the company is all set to discontinue production of two other models in the country, said a report in Hindustan Times' sister publication Live Hindustan, adding that these models are WR-V and Jazz.
Production of WR-V, Jazz to be closed
The report stated that in 2023, the Japanese giant will remove WR-V and Jazz from its lineup in the world's fifth-largest economy. The overall low sales of the two models forced Honda to take this decision, the story further said. 448 units of Jazz and 415 units of WR-V were sold last month, while 341 and 527 units respectively were sold in July, figures available with Live Hindustan show.
