The Honda Civic continues to dominate the C-segment sales chart in Thailand for Q1 2021, as its nearest competitors, the Toyota Corolla Altis and Mazda 3 continue to lag.

Data compiled by Headlight Magazine shows the Civic ended Q1 2021 with 4,098 units sold, while only 1,581 and 576 units of the Corolla Altis and Mazda 3 found new owners in the January to March 2021 period.

While the Corolla Altis has always found itself behind the Civic, sales of the C-segment sedan has been in free fall ever since the Toyota Corolla Cross debuted there last year.

The reason is apparent: the Corolla Cross offers more space, and an equivalent variant is still cheaper than the range-topping Altis. In terms of age, the Corolla Cross is a slightly fresher product as well, having only been introduced in 2020 (vs. the Altis in 2019).
