The Honda Amaze has surpassed the sales of the City in December 2016, which was the best-seller for a long time. 3,322 units of the compact sedan were sold as compared to the 2,898 mid-sized sedans.

Honda’s overall sales in the domestic market stand at 1,56,107 units.

Besides, the carmaker also sold 1,601 units of the BR-V and 55 units of the CRV. Exports stood at 448 units during December 2016.
