FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America reported September total sales of 71,003 units, a 14% increase compared with September 2024 and an all-time September record.

While the $7,500 EV credit has expired, our electrification strategy has always extended beyond incentives. We invested in EV innovation well before the IRA and remain steadfast in our commitment to affordability, quality, and customer care."

Hyundai retail sales rose 7% to 57,435 units in September, compared to the same month in 2024. This growth was driven by strong performances across both electrified and core models.
