Hyundai Motor sales rise 9.8 pct in July
SEOUL, Aug. 1 (Yonhap) -- Hyundai Motor Co., South Korea's leading automaker, said Monday that its sales in July rose 9.8 percent from a year earlier on solid demand for its vehicles at home and abroad.
Hyundai Motor sold 323,637 vehicles last month, with domestic sales surging 22.4 percent to 60,021 units. It also said overseas sales rose 7.2 percent on-year to 263,616 units. Total overseas sales include cars made in South Korea and foreign assembly plants.
Domestic sales were fueled by the popularity of the Avante subcompact, which sold 11,051 units in the cited month, followed by demand for the Grandeur and Sonata sedans.
In the seven months of the year, Hyundai said sales rose 10.6 percent on-year to over 2.27 million vehicles. Overseas sales increased 10.9 percent to exceed 1.87 million units in the January-July period, and domestic sales gained 9.2 percent to 404,443 units.
