Hyundai Motor announced that it sold a total of 325,589 units in the domestic and overseas markets during April. This represents an 8.0% decrease compared to the same month last year.

In the domestic market, disruptions caused by parts supply issues were reflected in the figures. Total sales dropped by a significant 19.9% year-on-year to 54,051 units. The decline was influenced by reduced production of key popular models such as the Palisade and Genesis G80. In the sedan segment, the Grandeur maintained the top position with 6,622 units sold, followed by the Sonata and Avante with 5,754 and 5,475 units, respectively. Total sedan sales reached 18,326 units. In the RV segment, the Santa Fe (3,902 units), Tucson (3,858 units), and Palisade (3,422 units) delivered balanced results, totaling 19,284 units sold. The Genesis brand sold 6,868 units, including 2,523 G80s and 2,068 GV70s. In commercial vehicles, 4,843 Porters and 3,039 Staria units were sold.

External factors also hindered performance in overseas markets. Sales decreased by 5.1% to 271,538 units due to supply chain issues and the impact of pent-up demand for new vehicles. It was found that demand waiting for new models scheduled for release in the second half of the year temporarily affected sales.

Hyundai Motor plans to expand sales through the launch of new vehicles. It is expected to introduce various new LINE-ups this year, including the Grandeur facelift.

A Hyundai Motor official stated, "We will do our best to stabilize the supply chain and aim to normalize production, while also timely introducing new vehicles with high product competitiveness to expand sales volume again."
