Abstract

This article focuses on Honda Motor Company's decision to withdraw from the South Korean passenger vehicle market by the end of 2026 due to declining sales. Despite continuing motorcycle sales through its Seoul-based distributor, Honda's automotive sales have sharply decreased, with a 22% drop to 1,951 units in the previous year and a 70% decline in early 2026. The company cited changes in the global and South Korean automobile markets and a strategic shift to concentrate corporate resources as reasons for the exit. Honda will maintain aftersales services, including maintenance and warranty support, for existing customers in South Korea after ceasing vehicle sales. [Extracted from the article]
