Hyundai has reported its best ever month in the UK, with 16,491 registrations in March 2015.
The figures represent another milestone for the company after achieving record volumes in 2014 with 82,159 registrations.
The 7.6% 2015 YTD growth and record March have been fuelled by a surge of retail and fleet customers embracing the New Generation i20, with 3,590 registrations making it the vehicle’s best ever month.
The ix35 also achieved its best month with 3,696 registrations, while the i10 achieved 5,262 registrations.
Tony Whitehorn, President and CEO, Hyundai Motor UK, said: “The first three months of 2015 have seen Hyundai break multiple records in the UK, and in March our registrations outperformed every other European market. Hyundai Motor UK’s continued and sustainable growth is a testament to the wave of desirable new vehicles, including New Generation i20 which has already seen considerable success, backed by our commitment to putting customers at the centre of our business.
“With 80% of Hyundai’s product range either brand new or refreshed in 2015, we expect our growth to continue throughout the year.”
Just months into 2015, Hyundai has already introduced numerous new and updated vehicles to the range – New Generation i20, New Generation i20 Coupe, New ix20, New i30, New i30 Turbo and New i40 will all be on British roads by the end of the second quarter. Following its debut at Geneva Motor Show 2015, Hyundai will also introduce All-New Tucson later this year.
Douglas Stafford has been working with Hyundai for several years, carrying out a range of mystery shopping, performance improvement and contact centre initiatives for the motor manufacturer.
