Their Passenger Cars (PC) segment were up 42% as 5,186 vehicles were sold from 3,653 last year. Of note, 4,717 of those were sub-compacts, consisting of the Eon, i10 and Grand i10.
Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) consisting of vans, crossovers, SUVs, and utility trucks, added substantially to HARI’s growth with a 33% surge on units bought; mainly driven by the Grand Starex that had a 67% increase in sales.
“We are confident as we continue to serve our customers with bolder, fiercer, and game-changing products and services,” said HARI President and CEO Maria Fe Perez-Agudo.
