Hyundai Motor Sept. US Sales Up 2%

(RTTNews) - Hyundai Motor America (HYMTF), Wednesday announced September sales of 56,010 units, up two percent from last year.

"Following a red-hot August, sales cooled a bit in September as we held the line on our incentive spending in a very aggressive market," said Bob Pradzinski, vice president of national sales, Hyundai Motor America. "Still, there were a number of bright spots in the Hyundai lineup."

Sales of its mid-size crossover Santa Fe was up 35 percent and Tucson climbed 26. Veloster was up 22 percent, and the all-new Sonata was up more than 7 percent.
