Award Winning i30 Reaches Half a Million Sales

SYDNEY – April 16, 2010: Hyundai Motor Company’s i30 range has passed cumulative sales of 500,000 units worldwide, cementing its position as a multi-award winning class leader.

“The i30 delivers an unbeatable package of class leading features, value and economy,” said Damien Meredith, Hyundai Motor Company Australia’s Sales Director. “The i30 range continues to win Australian fans, leading its segment for the first time in March.”

Since going on sale in Australia in late 2007, the i30 hatch and i30cw wagon have sold over 42,430 units.

Hyundai’s achievement with global sales of its i30 is of an epic scale. For example, if all the i30 models sold so far were lined up bumper to bumper, they would cover the driving distance between Adelaide and Brisbane
