We're ecstatic to announce that Hyundai recently sold its 10-millionth car in America. In business in the U.S. for almost three decades, Hyundai has grown significantly over the years and continues to make a name for itself in the automotive industry. With a lineup of excellent cars and SUVs that are built to last, the brand has no intentions of slowing down and will improve its legacy well into the future.
"This special milestone of hitting 10 million sales in the United States exemplifies that Hyundai is part of the American fabric," said Dave Zuchowski, president and CEO, Hyundai Motor America. "Our plant in Alabama provides jobs to nearly 3,000 Alabama residents and contributes approximately $4 billion to the state's economy each year. Also, about 56 percent of the cars Hyundai sells in the United States are made here."
Hyundai has come a long way since it entered the U.S. market in 1986. At the time, the Excel was the only model in its lineup, and within just seven months the brand sold over 100,000 Excels, setting a record in the auto world for the most first-year sales for an import car company. Today, Hyundai is one of the fastest-growing automakers in the business, thanks to its incredible roster, including the Veloster, Elantra, Sonata and Tucson.
