The sales of company’s mid-sized sedan SX4 remained subdued in past few months. The sales of SX4 dropped 22.1 per cent to 348 units in August 2013 as against 447 units in the same month last year, while it witnessed a fall of 52.6 per cent to 322 units in July 2013 as against 679 units in the same month last year.
