South Korean automakers Hyundai Motor and its affiliate Kia Motors said that on-year U.S. sales have climbed for 13 straight months.

According to the firms on Wednesday, Hyundai and Kia sold a combined 124-thousand-467 vehicles in the U.S., up 12-point-three percent from a year earlier.

Hyundai sold about 63-thousand-700 units in August, up 12 percent on-year and marking a 13th consecutive month of on-year increases in U.S. sales.

Kia saw its sales jump 12-point-seven percent on-year to 60-thousand-700 units in August, also on the back of robust sales of SUVs, including the Telluride and Sportage models.
