1,600 bookings, when compared with the market standard, don’t seem to be so impressive. However, if put it into the context of the sluggish market of sedans, this booking number could stand out as a desirable number. As the demand for sedans is falling, even the segment-leading Toyota Corolla Altis could only sell 212 units on average since September 2018. So 1,600 bookings for the new-gen Honda Civic could be a positive signal from the market.

85 per cent of 1,600 bookings is for petrol trims while orders for top-spec variant accounts for 80 per cent of the total bookings. Many of the bookings are ordered by Honda’s customers who have owned a Civic before.

The previous Civic in India was derived from global eight-gen Civic. However, in 2019, Honda has skipped the ninth generation and launched the tenth generation for the India market. Unlike the last generation updates, this time around, Honda will give the India-spec models various comprehensive updates that will make it diverse from its global counterpart and suit the specific demands and taste of Indian customers.
