Hyundai Motor and its sister company Kia Motors posted record sales in Europe last year.
  
According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, Hyundai and Kia sold a combined 854-thousand-900 units in the European market last year, up nearly ten percent from 2014.
  
The South Korean carmakers captured a share of six-point-02 percent in the European market in 2015. It marked the first time in two years that their market share bounced back to the six-percent level.
  
The companies said that the sales growth was propelled by the growing popularity of the new Hyundai sports-utility vehicle Tucson that hit the market in the second half of last year.
