Honda's Big Discounts Of Upto Rs. 76,000 On Amaze, City And Elevate: Details
The Japanese automotive giant Honda has been struggling in India for the last few years. Despite the launch of the Elevate mid-size SUV and the new generation Amaze, the company has not been able to capture a bigger market share in the country. Now, it has been reported that the company is offering a significant amount of benefits on its popular models. These include loyalty bonus, buyback offers, exchange bonuses, corporate packages, and a free seven-year extended warranty.
