The consecutive growth was led by strong sales of new SUV models, the all-new Santa Fe and Kona.
Sales in overseas market totaled 354,728 units, representing an increase of 19.4 percent year-over-year, due in large part to Hyundai Motor’s latest SUV addition, Kona. A recent sales recovery in the Chinese market and strong sales in emerging markets such as Brazil and Russia also contributed to the increase.
Sales in Korea decreased by 3.8 percent compared with the same period of last year, recording 59,494 units sold. Sales was affected by reduced working days including Korea’s Local Election Day in June. The all-new Santa Fe became the best-selling model in Korea for the fourth consecutive month.
