Hyundai August Success

Just like most Asian car makers, Hyundai Motor Corporation was one among those which had a bountiful August this year. From last year’s August, the South Korean car maker noted a 1% increase on its car sales this year. The car maker was able to sell 45,087 vehicles last month. The huge sale was led by its all-new Santa Fe with noted August 2007 sales record of 10,570 units which is a huge 55% increase compared to last year’s August. Sonata also followed Santa Fe as the best selling Hyundai car by selling 10,348 units of car. The next spot goes to Tucson 13% increase on sales with Entourage with 6% increase as well. The all-new Vera Cruz also had strong sales of 1,739 units of vehicle last month.

This has been the most fruitful August for Hyundai so far. Hyundai Motor America's vice president on National Sales Dave Zuchowski was noted saying. "Considering the gloomy economic indicators for August, we are elated that Hyundai was able to record a best August ever.”

The Hyundai Advantage, America's Best Warranty covers all the Hyundai cars sold in the US car market.
