Hyundai Dealer Serving Jacksonville Announces Best Sales Month

May 9, 2011 - PRLog -- March was an unbelievably strong month for Hyundai, Hyundai of St Augustine confirms. Sales of Hyundai vehicles were up 32 percent this March compared with the same period last year and up 42 percent over last month. For the year, Hyundai of St Augustine is proud to report that total Hyundai sales are up 28 percent, with retail volume up 46 percent, representing an all-time record first-quarter performance.

Jacksonville Hyundai shoppers helped the Sonata and Elantra lead the way in sales.  Combined, both vehicles represent a 55 percent increase over March last year and accounted for 68 percent of total Hyundai volume.

It’s becoming evident that Jacksonville Hyundai shoppers and consumers nation wide want a vehicle that looks good and gets great fuel economy. Hyundai sold 17,093 cars (2011 Elantra sedan and 2011 Sonata Hybrid) with 40-mpg EPA fuel economy highway ratings in March, representing 28 percent of sales for the month, while achieving an industry-leading 35.8 mpg sales-weighted corporate average fuel economy level.  Hyundai’s Blue Drive initiative represents its effort to lead the industry in fuel economy through the wide availability of accessible, fuel-efficient technologies throughout its lineup.

Since being introduced to Jacksonville Hyundai shoppers, the 2011 Elantra has been on the short list of many sedan shoppers.  The newly redesigned Elantra boasts a sophisticated fluid design, advanced safety features and impressive fuel economy.  In terms of appearance, Elantra is an evolution of the design qualities found in the highly acclaimed Sonata.

Fuel efficiency makes the Elantra an obvious choice for longer travels and highway driving, but there are plenty of other reasons why Jacksonville Hyundai shoppers of all lifestyles will appreciate the new Elantra.  Inside, the Elantra is spacious, providing class-above mid-size car interior volume, touch-screen navigation with rearview camera and iPod®/USB inputs, Bluetooth® hands-free phone system with voice recognition, and heated rear seats (a segment first).

The 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, available for Jacksonville Hyundai shoppers at Hyundai of St Augustine has proven itself with a fuel economy of 37 MPG in the city and 39 in the highway.  The Sonata also can reach 62 miles per hour when in all-electric mode, one of the highest speed hybrids can reach in this mode.

The Sonata Hybrid is also fluidly designed, combining sophisticated styling with advanced hybrid technology. Hyundai designers have taken Sonata’s fluidic sculpture design language a bit further with Sonata Hybrid, making it even more aerodynamic. The goal was a modern, eco-friendly design, with “at-a-glance” differentiation from the non-hybrid Sonata models.
