Hyundai Motor America’s strong start to the year continues with 45,612 units sold in February, bringing in the seventh consecutive month of sales growth for the company, and 2 percent up compared with the same month last year.

In addition, it is a 6 percent increase in retail sales as the SUV portfolio continues to be the most favored choice of the automaker’s consumers. Fleet sales, on the other hand, have dropped by 9 percent.

“February was a positive month for Hyundai as we achieved a 6 percent increase in retail sales and as a result expect to gain retail market share,” said John Cook, director of sales operations for Hyundai Motor America.

“Our revamped product lineup is driving consumer interest as we've increased sales in each of the past seven months,” Cook added. “Our vehicles continue to win some of the most important industry honors for performance, design, quality and cost-to-own leadership. Combine that with the efforts of our dealers to improve the customer experience and improving residual values, and we are optimistic for continued retail success throughout the rest of 2019.”
