HYUNDAI Motor Company, South Korea’s largest automaker, posted a stellar sales performance. Sales rose 8.5 percent to 251,271 units on a global basis from a year earlier. Of this figure, domestic sales rose to 55,202 units, while overseas sales went up to 196,069 units.

“The situation in global markets is deteriorating, with the economic slowdown in the U.S. and surging oil and commodity prices, but we are confident that we can reach global sales of 3 million units this year through our additional operations in China and India, as well as through our efforts in emerging markets such as Russia and the Middle East,” a Hyundai official said.
