FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America reported April total sales of 80,157 units, a 2% decrease compared with April 2025. Industrywide, year‑over‑year April sales comparisons were impacted by pre‑tariff pull‑ahead purchases last year. Against this backdrop, Hyundai expects to outperform the U.S. auto industry in April 2026, supported by strong hybrid, sedan and EV sales.
Hyundai Motor North America President and CEO Highlights April Performance
"Hyundai's performance in April reflects the strength of our product lineup and our continued focus on delivering value to customers, with electrified vehicles accounting for one‑third of our total sales," said Randy Parker, president and CEO, Hyundai Motor North America. "Even as the industry navigates a more challenging environment shaped by affordability pressures and broader economic uncertainty, the U.S. auto market remains resilient. With our diverse powertrain lineup and strong momentum in electrification, we remain focused on gaining market share by meeting evolving customer demand."
Hybrid Lineup Posts Multiple Best‑Ever April Results Led by Sonata Hybrid and Elantra Hybrid
April results included multiple best-ever performances across Hyundai's hybrid lineup and key model families, led by Sonata Hybrid (+171%) and Elantra Hybrid (55%). Santa Fe Hybrid set a new April retail record with sales up 3%.
