Hyundai and Kia just had their best July ever in terms of car sales.
The two Hyundai Motor Group brands recorded their third consecutive month of growth.
Electric cars used to dominate the charts, but now it’s a completely different story.
Sister brands Hyundai and Kia ended July with a bang, but the two marques’ electric models failed to keep up with the momentum stateside. For both automakers, it was the best-ever July in terms of sales, as well as the third consecutive month of growth, and it was mostly due to the huge success of hybrids.
Hyundai sold a total of 82,480 cars in the United States last month, up 3% year-over-year, followed by Kia with 75,857 units, a 7% increase over the same month last year. The Hyundai Sonata hybrid, Elantra hybrid, and Tucson set all-time July sales records, which also helped the nameplate land a best-ever July for hybrid sales.
