While the hatch is pitched as a sporty drive, Holden intends to market the sedan as more comfort - oriented choice for buyers in Australia's single biggest
new passenger vehicle sales segment.
Challenges in cash availability affected consumer sentiment across manufacturers with
passenger vehicle sales inching up by around 2.6 % to 2,42,700 units in November.
New car sales in Western Australia dropped again last month, with a rise in SUV sales unable to counteract a slump in
passenger vehicle sales.
Tata Motors, which has seen an uptick in
its passenger vehicle sales with the trio of the Tiago hatchback, Tigor compact sedan and the Hexa crossover, is all set to up the ante with the rollout of the much - awaited Nexon SUV later this year.
It has been the most awarded car in 2014 and has contributed significantly to
the passenger vehicle sales.
While Tata Motors and the Tata Daewoo range together sold 32,026 units (+5 %),
passenger vehicles sales were 66,508 units (+15 %).
