38% Jump On October Sales Record For Hyundai

Nov. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Hyundai Motor America released the October sales of 42,656, a sales increase of 38% as an all-time record versus last year with retail sales up 71% percent. We knew we were doing something right at Edmond Hyundai!

"We were very encouraged by what appeared to be a general strengthening of the overall sales environment in October.  The game-changing Sonata is red hot, once again outselling Altima, Fusion, and Malibu at retail.  As availability improves for Tucson and Santa Fe, coupled with the launch of turbo and hybrid versions of Sonata, we expect to continue to set sales records, elevate brand awareness, and drive market share growth for the remainder of the fourth quarter," said Dave Zuchowski, executive vice president of sales, Hyundai Motor America.  "We'll also sustain October's momentum over the next several months with Equus, our fresh take on intelligent luxury, and the all-new, U.S. built Elantra."  

Sales of 452,703 make up this year’s retail sales, which is up 21 percent versus 2009 for the same ten month period, but that’s not the best part.  The Accent, Elantra, Sonata, Tuscon and Genesis sales all increased for the better with 17 percent for the Accent, 10 percent for the Elantra, 125 percent for the Sonata, 260 percent for the Tuscon and 28 percent for the Genesis opposed to last year.
