Honda Malaysia Managing Director and CEO, Hironobu Yoshimura said, “Honda Malaysia started 2022 on a high note with the launch of the Civic in January, which left a strong impression in the market with its attractive and premium features. Recently in July, we kept the momentum going with the launch of our popular Compact SUV, the All-New HR-V. Since its launch, the all-new model, featuring exceptional styling and advanced technology, has received outstanding response from the market. The positive acceptance of the Honda models helped to boost our sales performance this year. We saw high demand in terms of bookings in the run up to the end of sales tax exemption on 30th June 2022, where more than 105,000 bookings were received in the first six months this year.”
Honda Malaysia appreciates the support from the Malaysian Government for extending the sales tax exempted vehicle registration period to March 31 2023.
