Hyundai Sets New Sales Record In Australia: Changing Of The Guard?

Hyundai has declared an ‘early start’ to its New Year celebrations, breaking its all-time yearly sales record in Australia this month.

A Hyundai Santa Fe SUV sold to a Sydney customer marked sale number 91,537 year-to-date, making 2013 the Korean carmaker's best of its 27 years in this market. 

Hyundai has experienced its 19th consecutive month of year-on-year sales growth. This perhaps represents a ‘changing of the guard’ in the Australian new-car market. (And achieved without a commercial ute in the range.)
