The company said it accounted 41,326 of the 141,336 passenger cars sold in the country from January through June, securing a 29.2% market share. The sales decline reflected the heavy impact of Covid-19 on consumers’ wallets and the auto industry, which saw sales fall 38.7% from a year earlier to 325,773 units of all car types. However, the company said it was satisfied with its top ranking in sales of passenger cars for the second year. The Honda City remained the buyers’ favourite, gaining a 39.3% market share, while the Civic (56.7%) also topped its segment.
