Hyundai Sets New Sales Records
In a remarkable achievement, Hyundai has sold more vehicles in the United States in the first half of 2025 than ever before. With a total of 439,280 vehicles sold, this marks a 10% increase compared to the same period last year. The company’s CEO for North America, Randy Parker, expressed his excitement, stating, “We just wrapped up the strongest first half in Hyundai’s history.”

New Manufacturing Plant Boosts Production
The grand opening of the Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America in Georgia has played a crucial role in boosting the company’s production capabilities. This advanced manufacturing facility has the ability to produce up to 300,000 vehicles annually, with plans to expand output to around 500,000 units based on demand. The arrival of new American-made electric vehicles is expected to further contribute to Hyundai’s growth in the U.S. market.
