Amaze remained Honda’s largest volume contributor, with 3,512 units dispatched in August 2026. This represented an increase of 1,759 units over the 1,753 units recorded a year earlier. Compared with July’s 3,436 units, dispatches rose by 76 units, translating into approximately 2% growth. The Amaze was the only Honda model to register a month-on-month increase in the supplied data. Its contribution reached 65.2% of Honda’s August dispatches. The Amaze’s annual volume gain also exceeded Honda’s overall increase of 1,535 units, highlighting its role in offsetting weakness elsewhere in the portfolio.
Elevate recorded 1,326 units, compared with 1,660 units in August 2025, a decline of 20%. The sequential drop was sharper, with dispatches falling by 623 units from July’s 1,949 units—a 32% month-on-month decline. This was the largest absolute monthly reduction among Honda’s models and accounted for almost all of the brand’s net decline of 629 units.
Despite the decline, the Elevate remained Honda’s second-largest contributor, representing 24.6% of total dispatches.
The City registered 514 units in August 2026, up 18% from 437 units in the same month last year. However, dispatches fell 10% compared with July’s 571 units. The City contributed approximately 9.5% of Honda’s monthly total.
Together, the Amaze and City accounted for 4,026 units, or 74.8% of Honda’s August dispatches, underlining the importance of sedans to the brand’s current volume mix.
The ZR-V recorded 33 units, down from 58 units in July 2026, representing a 43% sequential decline.
Auto Punditz Take
Honda’s August performance shows strong annual growth concentrated in a single model. The Amaze delivered both year-on-year and month-on-month gains, while the Elevate’s decline weighed heavily on the overall sequential result. The 40% YoY increase is encouraging, but the 10% monthly decline shows that growth was not consistent across the portfolio. A recovery in Elevate volumes, alongside sustained Amaze performance, would help broaden Honda’s volume base.
