SEOUL, Hyundai Motor Co. and its affiliate Kia Corp. have made their debut in the top five best-selling car brands in the UK, according to June data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
Hyundai sold 10,109 vehicles in the UK last month, marking a 9.9% year-on-year increase and securing fourth place in the rankings. Despite a 2.6% dip in sales to 10,043 units, Kia still clinched fifth place.
The strong performance was largely driven by continued demand for popular SUV models like the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage.
With the upcoming launch of its new all-electric flagship SUV, the Ioniq 9, Hyundai is on track to exceed 100,000 vehicle sales in the UK this year.
