• Best-Ever February Sales, Increasing 16%
• Retail Sales Up a Considerable 26%
• All-time February Total Sales Records for Tucson, Kona, SUVs and Ioniq

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., March 3, 2020 – #hyundai Motor America reported total February sales of 53,013 units, a 16% increase in comparison with February 2019 and the highest February sales in #hyundai history, outpacing the previous record of February 2016. The February sales result is the 17th time in the last 19 months that #hyundai has had increasing overall vehicle sales. Additionally, #hyundai achieved this overall sales growth while continuing to reduce its dependency on fleet sales, which were down 20% on the month and represented 15% of total sales.
“February was the second straight month with retail sales growing more than 20%, a remarkable achievement that speaks to the consumer response to Hyundai’s products and the efforts of our dealer partners,” said Randy Parker, vice president, National Sales, #hyundai Motor America. “The recent launches of the all-new Palisade, Sonata and Venue are resonating with customers and validating their status as segment-defining vehicles. Moving forward, we continue to work collaboratively with #hyundai Motor Company to monitor the global coronavirus situation to ensure the safety of our employees and maintain a robust supply of #hyundai vehicles to the U.S. market, which are built both domestically in Alabama and abroad.”
Retail Highlights Hyundai’s retail sales grew by a substantial 26% in February, establishing a new February record. Retail gains on the month were led by Tucson (up 58%), Kona (up 16%) and a record-setting 6,953 Palisade retail units. In total, retail SUV sales finished at 28,418 units, the best-ever February total, growing 57%. SUV sales represented a 63% mix of retail volume, the eighth consecutive month exceeding 60%.
While SUVs continue to drive much of Hyundai’s retail gains, Sonata achieved a 12% increase in retail sales driven almost entirely by the all-new 2020 model, indicating consumers are attracted to its styling, driving dynamics and technology features.
Hyundai’s eco-friendly lineup also continues to gain traction, with total hybrid, plug-in, electric and fuel cell retail vehicle sales increasing 49%.
Total Volume Highlights #hyundai set a new record for February sales with growth across the entire lineup. SUVs set their alltime February total sales record, selling 32,059 units, increasing 28% compared with February 2019.
