Honda becomes the sixth world carmaker in 2019
- The Honda group (Honda, Acura) sold 5.15 million vehicles (PC+LUV) in 2019, against 5.25 million in 2018, which represents a decrease of 2% over one year. Like many other carmakers, Honda suffered from the market downturn in 2019 but resisted better than the American or Korean carmakers. The Japanese carmaker increased its sales in China by 10% while this market contracted by 10% over the same period. In addition, its sales have been stable in USA, its main market. It is mainly in India (-40,000 sales), Japan (-25,000 sales) and Europe (-20,000 sales) where Honda has really dropped out. In total, Honda overtakes Ford for the first time worldwide.
