Our young and strong model line-up is increasingly appealing to customers all over Europe. Today, more than 90% of cars sold in Europe have been designed, tested and produced in European Hyundai facilities.
80% of Hyundai models have been renewed in 2015 alone. With the facelift of the i10 and the recent unveiling of the third-generation i30 in 2016, Hyundai Motor offers the youngest line-up among car manufacturers in Europe. The model range renewal strategy has supported the notable increase in sales volumes this year. The SUV range has especially proved to be a driver for healthy performance with, for example, more than 140,000 Tucsons sold in its first year.
The i10, i20 and i30 continue to show high sales volumes. The reveal of the New Generation i30 is a core milestone for Hyundai Motor, as it aims to become the number-one Asian automotive brand in Europe. It is a smart and rewarding choice for those seeking an appealing design, an efficient and dynamic ride and a comprehensive safety package. Its quality and reliability are guaranteed by the company’s unique, industry-leading 5-year unlimited mileage warranty.
