Hyundai Sales Expand 6% for the 1st Semester of 2017 |
Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. recently announced that the brand once again reached the three thousand mark by closing June 2017 with 3,203 units. Hyundai said that this pushed 1st semester sales to 6% as compared to the 16,362 units sold in the same period of 2016.
At the forefront of Hyundai's favorable performance is its volume driver, the Passenger Cars segment, which grew by 7% from 11,207 units in the first half of 2016 to 12,037 units in the same period of 2017. Credit goes to the Accent, which remains as the brand's top-selling nameplate, with 7,711 units sold in 2017.
The Light Commercial Vehicles segment 1st semester sales reached 5,327 units. Hyundai says that the growth in this segment is largely attributed to high pickup for the brand's utility truck, the H-100.
