Hyundai Brand Highlights
"March was a balanced attack with Hyundai SUV sales representing 43 percent of total volume and Sonata gaining retail market share," said John Angevine, director, National Sales, Hyundai Motor America. "We continue to focus on right sizing our business with emphasis on Hyundai core products and our SUV performance combined with Sonata's retail gains is demonstrating that."

March was highlighted by last week's New York International Auto Show that saw Hyundai introduce three new SUVs. The first was the redesigned 2019 Tucson with upgrades inside and out, including a new cascading grille, new center stack design, more advanced safety features and available Qi wireless charging.

That was followed by the North American debut of the all-new 2019 Santa Fe. The best-selling SUV nameplate in Hyundai's history enters its fourth generation offering an all-new family-oriented interior, a full suite of cutting-edge technologies and bold exterior looks.

Hyundai then surprised the industry by unveiling the 2019 Kona Electric and its estimated driving range of 250 miles, the best range of any non-luxury EV available. These product introductions broaden Hyundai's SUV lineup and powertrain portfolio, and will help grow Hyundai's share in some of the industry's top-volume segments.

Hyundai capped off the show with its annual Hope On Wheels launch event where it announced plans to exceed $145 million toward pediatric cancer research and introduced two new youth ambassadors for 2018.

Also during the month, Hyundai competed in the first race of the 2018 Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car Racing (TCR) class and took home a first and second place sweep in both races of the weekend. Bryan Herta Autosport team drivers Michael Lewis and Mark Wilkins dominated the competition, each taking home a checkered flag and second place position over the two races.
