[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Hyundai Motor Company announced on the 5th that it sold a total of 360,762 vehicles worldwide in September, including 67,080 units domestically and 293,682 units overseas. Compared to the same period last year, domestic sales increased by 33.8%, while overseas sales decreased by 11.2%.

Domestic sales last month rose 33.8% year-on-year, driven by the popularity of the Grandeur and Avante. The Grandeur recorded 11,590 units sold, and the Avante 9,136 units, bringing Hyundai's sedan sales to a total of 25,916 units.

Recreational Vehicles (RVs) recorded a total of 16,930 units, including 5,069 Palisades, 4,520 Santa Fes, 3,109 Konas, and 2,196 Tucsons.

Commercial vehicles saw 11,815 units sold for small commercial vehicles, combining Grand Starex and Porter models, while large commercial vehicles, including medium and large buses and trucks, sold 2,128 units.

The premium brand Genesis achieved total sales of 10,291 units. The G80 led overall sales with 6,040 units sold, followed by the GV80 with 2,918 units, the G90 with 882 units, and the G70 with 451 units.

Overseas sales totaled 293,682 units, down 11.2% from the same period last year. This decline was due to reduced demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected production at overseas factories.

A Hyundai Motor Company official stated, “To overcome the crisis caused by the COVID-19 situation, we are preparing region-specific countermeasures and making efforts to minimize negative impacts through active risk management.”
