SHANGHAI: Honda Motor Co Ltd and its two local joint ventures sold 63,128 automobiles in China in January, up 33.6 per cent from a year earlier, the Japanese automaker said on Monday.
That follows a 60.4 per cent year-on-year jump in December and 101.5 per cent rise in November, which were partly boosted by a low base from the year before when sales tanked due to a surge in anti-Japanese sentiment following a territorial dispute between Beijing and Tokyo.
In 2013, Honda sold a record 756,882 vehicles, up 26.4 per cent from a year earlier.
Honda makes vehicles in China in partnership with Dongfeng Motor Group Co Ltd and Guangzhou Automobile Group Co Ltd.
