Hyundai sales in Australia in 2022
The Hyundai brand has been overtaken by Kia, but has arrested its recent sales slide and is ticking up again.
In 2022 Hyundai sold 73,345 vehicles in Australia.
Below you will see a visualisation of how those sales compare to a decade ago in 2012.
Below is a graphical representation of the top manufacturers sales over the last 25 years (1997 to 2022), inclusive of passenger vehicles, SUVs, and both light and heavy commercial vehicles. This graph is interactive and you can pick to compare any number of manufacturers.
In 2012 Hyundai sold 91,536 vehicles in Australia, and over the last decade the Korean brand has seen popular models like the Accent disappear.
Where sister brand Kia has risen sharply, Hyundai sales slid over the course of a few years in the late-2010s before levelling off.
