Shanghai (ZXZC)- Honda Motor announced today its monthly China sales reached 133,556 units in July 2022, jumping 23.5% from a year earlier, while sliding 5.4% from the previous month.

For the first seven months of 2022, Honda Motor sold 812,784 vehicles across China, reflecting a 9.2% year-on-year decrease due to the impact of the coronavirus resurgence and the supply constraints of auto parts.
