Arvind Saxena, senior V-P, marketing and sales said, "In spite of slowdown in the industry due to higher interest rates, Hyundai Motor India has been able to emerge with very strong figures primarily because of a very dominant presence in the compact segment where both our offerings Santro and the i10 are becoming the segment leaders.
The i10 have sold around 50,000 units in the first 5 months of the 2008."
Hyundai is India's second largest car maker after Maruti. During the month the company sold 34,328 units of the Santro and i10 models during the month while it also sold 5,874 units of the Accent and Verna sedan's.
About 14 units of the Elantra, 41 units of Sonata Emberra and 4 units of Tuscon.
