London, October 01, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) –––Hyundai Motor America reported total September sales of 62,491 units, a 9% decrease compared with September 2023. Hyundai set total sales records in September for Santa Fe HEV (+87%), Tucson HEV (+52%), and Palisade (+9%). Hybrid vehicle total sales jumped 36%.
“We set an all-time retail sales record in the third quarter thanks to strong demand for our IONIQ 5 and hybrid models along with the hard work of our retail partners,” said Randy Parker, CEO, Hyundai Motor America. “A September calendar quirk resulting in fewer selling days and Labor Day falling into the August sales month impacted the year-over-year comparison, but despite that, we still achieved a 36% increase in hybrid sales on the month as consumer demand remains high for hybrids. Our mission is to close the year strong and set another all-time annual sales record for the brand.”
Q3 Highlights
In the third quarter, Hyundai established a new record for Q3 retail sales. Hyundai total sales were 210,971 units, a 5% increase over Q3 2023 sales and the second best Q3 in the company’s history. Hyundai also set new Q3 total and retail sales records for Santa Fe HEV, Tucson HEV, and Palisade.
