Shock! Hyundai becomes Australia's top selling car for the month of June - NEWS.com.au
More than 5500 Hyundai i30 hatchbacks were delivered last month, easily eclipsing the tally of 4150 Toyota Corollas and 4130 Mazda 3s (although the Corolla is still ahead for the year to date). The result is more remarkable once you take into account the Hyundai i30 tally is for hatchback sales alone, whereas the Toyota and Mazda totals include both sedans and hatches. The sedan version of the Hyundai i30 is sold with another badge, otherwise the leading margin would have been even greater (more than 680 Hyundai Elantra sedans were sold in June). Seven of the Top 10 brands posted significant gains, but Holden, Ford and Nissan sales were down compared to the same month last year. The Ford Falcon was once again outsold by the Mercedes-Benz C Class (530 deliveries versus 900). Figures for the total market are not due to be published until Friday, however industry insiders believe the car industry is on track for a new record... People are figuring out they can pay less than what they were paying three or four years ago and get a brand-new car. Source: www.news.com.au
