At the launch of the new 2022 Honda Civic e:HEV RS today, Honda Malaysia Managing Director and CEO, Hironobu Yoshimura announced today that the 11th-generation model has sold nearly 7,000 units since its launch in January this year.
The volume places the 2022 Honda Civic at the top of the leaderboard in terms of sales within the C-sedan market segment, and translates to roughly an 81% market share as of September 2022.
With the launch of the new hybrid variant, the numbers are expected to rise further, as the company announced that it has already received over 100 bookings for the 2022 Honda Civic e:HEV RS.
