Hyundai Motor America sold 33,383 units during the month of November, setting a new, all-time record for the month. Year-to-date sales of Hyundai vehicles in the U.S. are up 8 percent over the same period, 2004.

The all-new Sonata led sales in November with 14,216 units, an impressive 117 percent increase over last year. In addition, the XG350 also had a stellar month with 2,311 units, a 56 percent increase over the same period, 2004.

"We're pleased that our all-new Sonata had its best sales month ever, with an increase of 117% over last November,” said Mark Barnes, vice president of national sales for Hyundai Motor America. “Consumers are increasingly putting Sonata on their mid-size car shopping list, thanks to its strong value, 5-star crash test results, great winter driving safety and traction as a result of its segment-first standard Electronic Stability Control, and our 10-year warranty.”
