- Hyundai posted record US March sales with 87,019 vehicles sold, up 13 percent.
- The result was aided by surging sales of the Tucson, Santa Fe, and Palisade.
- Elantra jumped 25 percent to become Hyundai’s second best-selling vehicle in March.
Hyundai continues to laugh in the face of the carpocalypse as the Elantra and Sonata both posted gains last month. The former model was so popular, it was the company’s second best-selling vehicle in the United States.

Elantra sales soared 25% to hit 14,461 units in March. The Sonata, on the other hand, saw sales climb 1% to 5,706 units. That’s a tad surprising as the Sonata has been a hot commodity and sales are already up 20% year-to-date.

It wasn’t all good news as Kona sales were off 26% for the month as well as the year. The Santa Cruz also continued to struggle as it only found 2,924 buyers last month, which was a drop of 13%.
Overall, Hyundai sold 87,019 vehicles in March for a 13% increase. The company noted it was their best March ever and resulted in the “sixth consecutive month of best-ever total sales.”

Our commitment to innovation and meeting consumer demand remains strong, and we continue to localize production and enhance our supply chain to help manage market conditions.”
