Hyundai Motor Group has surpassed 15 million cumulative RV sales in the United States, marking a significant achievement for the automotive giant. With Hyundai and Kia together reaching this milestone, the RV lineup now accounts for more than 70% of their total sales, driving continued growth. The group's success can be attributed to the diversification of their lineup, particularly in SUVs, with popular models such as the Santa Fe, Tucson, Sorento, Sportage, and Soul leading the way.
As Hyundai Motor Group aims to overtake Ford and secure the third spot in U.S. sales for the third quarter, the company plans to reinforce its market position by introducing new hybrid and extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs), including the GV80 Hybrid and the All-New Tucson. Kia also intends to expand its Sportage production capacity and introduce a Seltos hybrid model to capture a broader share of entry-level RV demand.
