i-range brings further Hyundai sales growth in November
Offenbach, December 23rd 2009
The latest sales figures from automotive industry body ACEA reveal that Hyundai is, once again, the leading volume brand for sales growth in Europe this year. Published today, ACEA’s report indicates a rise of 46,8% in Hyundai sales in November (to 28.162 units), ahead of the market increase of 26,6%. In the year-to-date, Hyundai has achieved growth of 26,1% (to 315.655 units) while the market has declined by 2,8%
Strong results throughout the first eleven months of 2009 have pushed Hyundai’s market share up to 2,4% in Europe, some way ahead of the 1,8% secured by the company in the same period last year
The marque’s three biggest territories have all recorded exceptional growth in 2009: sales in the UK have doubled (up 100%); Italy has seen an increase of 72%; and in Germany Hyundai registrations are 27% ahead
Sales of the i-models have made a significant contribution to the firm’s performance. Over 100.000 examples of the A-segment i10 have been sold so far in 2009, representing an 88% improvement over last year. The i20 has driven up Hyundai B-segment sales by 28%. Further up the range, the popular i30 has seen a sales increase of 50% across the hatchback and estate variants
Commenting on the report, Allan Rushforth, Vice President of Hyundai Motor Europe, said, “By growing sales and rapidly increasing our share during a recession, we have created a very favourable situation for the Hyundai brand. The i-range has had an excellent year, attracting many European consumers to Hyundai for the first time. These new customers have been convinced by the quality, practicality and value of the i10, i20 and i30. Our job now is to ensure that they enjoy the Hyundai ownership experience, because they will become our ambassadors in the years to come. Keeping customers happy will give us solid foundations on which to further build European sales and to increase our market share in the medium term.”
