Hyundai is looking toward 2010 with much anticipation after a very
successful 2009 ending with Hyundai as one the strongest performers based on
massive volume growth of 39% year on year, despite the drop in overall
market size.
Hyundai is due to release the an all-new sedan, the i20
hatch and the ix35 SUV this year and is looking to build on the success of
2009.
The all new mid-sized sedan, code-named YF, is due to enter the
Australian market in the first half of 2010. Its ‘fluidic sculpture’ styling
reflects Hyundai’s new design architecture, a philosophy which will make its
debut in the upcoming all-new ix35 compact SUV, supporting a broader brand
appeal.
The all-new mid size-sedan is already breaking records in
South Korea, with 100,000 new contracts signed for the car since it went on
sale on 17th September 2009. The figure equates to more than 1,000 contracts
per day since its debut in the domestic market and sets a new record in
South Korea’s vehicle sales.
Considering the number of contracts
signed so far for the all-new model, 10 months of sales have already been
secured.
“This is an exciting result, and we can’t wait to see how
Australian buyers react to the car’s bold design,” said Oliver Mann, Hyundai
Motor Company Australia's Director of Marketing. “As well as the all-new
sedan, we will also be launching the all-new ix35 SUV and i20 hatch this
year.”
More information, including pricing, will be released closer
to the release date.
