“The early launch of the Civic model will help the company recover the lost ground it ceded to Toyota Corolla Grande,” said Sherman Securities analyst Sadiq Samin in an interview to a local newspaper.
“The current model has not been well-received and this is why its sales have been on a continuous decline. However, there has been a lot of public interest in this upcoming model which may help the company generate expected sales volumes,” he added.
For the financial year (Apr-Mar) 2016, Honda Atlas has stated a net profit of Rs. 3.6 billion which is an increase of 12% compared to Rs. 3.2 billion in the previous year. The growth in sales is however attributed to increased sales of Honda City.
