The Russian subsidiary of Honda said it will stop selling new cars to official dealers in Russia from 2022 as a part of the company’s restructuring plans, Reuters reported.
After-sales support for Honda cars will continue to be in place, and the brand’s presence in the Russian market will also be retained with the continued sale of motorcycles and power equipment, the report said.
Honda sold 79 vehicles in Russia in November, representing a 50% drop from the same time a year ago, the Association of European Business was quoted as saying. Cumulative sales for Honda in Russia from January until November was 1,383 vehicles, or a reduction of 15% from the same period last year. For comparison, more than 1.3 million vehicles were sold in Russia during that time.
Honda differs from other Japanese automakers in not having manufacturing plants in Russia, unlike Toyota, which produces the RAV4 and Camry in St. Petersburg, and Nissan, which makes the Qashqai, X-Trail and Murano, also in St. Petersburg.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Can’t handle those volka…
Russians support their own national carbrand, LADA. Be patriotic, be like russians. Support P1
Russians buy Lads cos its cheap, not cos its good.
Another cheap Hyundai/Kia model is the top 2/3 selling model there
Well said! The same reason why Malaysians buys P2. Because its cheap, not because its good.
Finally from russia with love to all honda fanboys…they must think this is fake news…only 1300 cars sold througout the year…wow…hard to believe…not only russia…in australia honda is like non-existence…only in Malaysia they worship it like some kind of superpower…haha what a joke…
…and China too. When you buy a Honda, you’re buying the engine while the rest of the car is free.
Since when Russia becomes a consumer model? No one gave a look when they said they have vaccine few months back. Also China is happy with their Honda, local brands having a hard time competing with them.
its so funny, china is politically anti-west/japan (especially under XJP) but their people love foreign brands over there own ones!
This is because there were no abang-abang in Russia unlike here.
Russia needs to import more Ah bengs with their fungtau music for Honda to succeed.
