Jacksonville Hyundai Dealer Sets May Sales Record

June 8th, 2010

Jacksonville Hyundai dealer, Hyundai of St Augustine, again announced an all-time sales record, this time for the month of May. The announcement comes on the heels of Hyundai Motor America also announcing an all time sales record for May, finishing the month at a 33% increase versus this time last year.

Hyundai of St. Augustine posted another best ever month, selling 147 total cars in May, 108 new cars and 39 used cars. The 2011 Hyundai Sonata dominated the month with 45 new models being sold compared to 38 in April. The Elantra also posted major gains.

Hyundai Motor America also saw significant gains in sales for the month of May stemming from the all-new Sonata and Tucson. Year to date, Hyundai sales are up 23 percent compared with 2009.

“As we continue to refresh and expand our model line-up, we are clearly appealing to customers who have placed Hyundai on their shopping list for the very first time,” said Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai Motor America’s vice present of national sales. “This considerable broadening of our customer base comes at a time when we are continuing to reduce our fleet mix, thus improving the overall quality of our market share.

“For the third straight month, our all-new Sonata is the third-best selling mid-size car in the country in retail sales, well ahead of strong rivals such as Nissan Altima, Chevy Malibu and Ford Fusion,” Zuchowski added. “Sonata is the number one researched car at Edmunds.com for the eleventh straight week and consumers love Sonata’s breakthrough design, 35 mile-per-gallon fuel economy, and lower depreciation than Honda Accord.”

Central Florida Hyundai shoppers have helped make Hyundai of St Augustine the area’s #1 destination for Hyundai Cars. Most recently, Hyundai of St Augustine was named he #1 Volume Dealer in the District by Hyundai Motor America.

Hyundai of St Augustine boasts one of the most comprehensive selections of new and used Hyundai cars, including the award winning 2011 Sonata.
