Hyundai vehicles continue to break sales records in Australia. According to latest automobile reports coming from the continent “Down Under”, the South Korean largest carmaker achieved its second best sales result since the company entered the market in 1986.

Hyundai’s sales of 8.055 units represents a +2.5 percent increase in sales compared to the same month a year ago, when the automaker sold 7.862 new vehicles. In the first six months of fiscal year, Hyundai sold 42.371 new vehicles in Australia and achieved its best ever first six months of the year sales result.

According to Daien, Hyundai will continue with the model onslaught by rolling-out an i20 sub-compact hatchback in July and a brand-new Elantra sedan in the first half of 2011.
