Hyundai Motor makes history with sales of a million in China


Hyundai Motor said yesterday annual sales from Beijing Hyundai, a joint venture with Beijing Automotive Group, have surpassed 1 million units, becoming the fastest auto brand to achieve that milestone in the Chinese market.

Hyundai, Korea’s largest automaker, also said it is the first time it has ever sold more than a million cars in a single market in a year.

Hyundai previously set a sales target for 2013 for 970,000 vehicles in China.

Hyundai, which started doing business in China in 2003, said its localized models have led the sales increase, while expansion of its second and third plants in China also helped to boost sales.

Hyundai said it would expand its dealership network in China to 1,000 by 2015 and focus on balancing sales growth and enhancing brand value over the next 10 years.
