Hyundai Motor Company has announced April 2023 global sales of 336,212 units, a 8.5 percent increase year-over-year.
City Business News reports that despite the continued uncertainties in the business environment, the company maintained its robust sales momentum this year, thanks to solid demand for Hyundai vehicles.
In April, sales outside Korea increased by 7.6 percent to 269,552 units. The production stabilization from the global parts shortage helped to secure the company’s solid performance in North America, Europe and India.
Sales in Korea were up 12.2 percent from a year earlier to 66,660 units with the introduction of new models, including the all-new Grandeur (badged as Azera outside of Korea) and strong demand for SUV models. In Korea, the Grandeur sold nearly 10,000 units and Hyundai’s SUV models collectively sold more than 21,349 units.
Hyundai Motor maintained its electric vehicle (EV) sales momentum by selling around 23,000 units around the globe in April. Hyundai’s dedicated IONIQ models, including IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6, accounted for nearly 70 percent of the total EV sales.
To meet its customers’ diverse needs, Hyundai Motor will continue implementing various measures to deliver class-leading products, including the all-new KONA launched in March, Santa Fe and IONIQ 5 N, to be launched later this year. More details about the new models will be shared in the near future.
