The Honda WRV is leading the sales charts for Japanese carmaker, Honda, in India. In July, it registered a sale of 4894 units, which is its highest. Launched in March this year, it has finally surpassed the sales of the company’s bread and butter model, the City, by a whisker (40 units). The overall surge in the sales can be attributed to the implementation of GST (Goods and Services Tax) from July 1, 2017, which helped automakers reduce the existing rates of most of their products.

The automaker is confident that the demand of its cars will further spike thanks to GST, good monsoon and the beginning of the festive season from August in many regions.
