Encouraging start to 2013 for Honda


First Quarter figures for 2013 show an encouraging start to the year for Honda in Ireland with increased sales and market share in what is a very challenging market.

Honda's sales performance has been underpinned by good customer demand for recently launched models - the CR-V SUV (pictured) and 1.6 i-DTEC diesel engine which has helped support a growth in Civic sales - up by 50 percent in the Irish market so far this year.

Honda will continue to strengthen its range with the introduction of the 1.6 diesel engine to the CR-V this Autumn and the launch of the new Civic Tourer model due to arrive early 2014.
