Hyundai Motor America
announced sales of 49,368 vehicles for the month, which was Hyundai's all-
time, anytime, record sales month. Hyundai sales are up 12 percent
month-over-month and 11 percent over last June on the strength of the
growing Hyundai model line up.
Hyundai's all-new 2007 Santa Fe continued it strong pace with an
increase over June 2006 of 37 percent, followed closely by Sonata which
experienced a 28 percent sales increase. Our 2007 fuel-efficient Elantra
kept the momentum going in its segment increasing sales 8 percent over June
2006, along with the Entourage that more than doubled its sales over the
same period last year.
"The first half of 2007 was the most successful in Hyundai history,"
said Dave Zuchowski, vice president, National Sales, Hyundai Motor America.
"Our second quarter sales rebounded strongly and resulted in first half
sales which were up 1 percent over record 2006 levels. We are encouraged by
this strong momentum and are well positioned for continued growth in the
second half."
