  • Hatchbacks were the top gainer by reporting a 8.31% decline in MoM comparison to March sales figures
  • Pickups were the other gainers in the comparison with a 20.63% growth in sales over March.

  • Among the losers, MPVs were the top losing bodystyle with over 20% MoM decline in April, compared to March
  • Sedans reported a drop of 6.76% in MoM sales comparison, whereas SUVs reported a 1.62% decline.
