Back in December 2020, Honda loudly announced its imminent exit from the Russian automotive market. However, official dealers of this brand are still working, and you can still buy new cars from them! Something went wrong?
Honda is one of those companies that did not dare to localize production in Russia. If the organization of the assembly was discussed, it never went public: officially, a plant on the territory of the Russian Federation was not even planned. Although there were prerequisites for this, after all, during the period of rapid development of the Russian market, sales of Honda cars grew by leaps and bounds and in 2008 reached a record 89 thousand cars. Then the Japanese brand was ranked eleventh in the ranking: Hondas sold better than Kia, Volkswagen or Skoda cars!
