Hyundai Motor Group Posts Record High Sales in US

Hyundai Motor Group posted record high sales in the United States last year.

The South Korean automaker said Wednesday that Hyundai Motor Company sold 760-thousand cars in the U.S. last year, up five percent from a year earlier, while its affiliate Kia Motors Corporation saw its U.S. sales jump by seven-point-nine percent to 625-thousand during the same period.

The combined sales of Hyundai and Kia, at one-million-377-thousand, marked a six-point-two percent growth from 2014 and are the biggest ever since the group began selling cars in the U.S.

Their combined market share in the U.S. edged up from seven-point-nine percent in 2014 to seven-point-94 percent.

The Elantra, known as the Avante in South Korea, was the top selling Hyundai car in the U.S. last year at 220-thousand, followed by the Hyundai Sonata with 213-thousand models sold.
