SEOUL, March 2, 2020 – Hyundai Motor Company today announced February global sales of 275,044 units, a 13 percent drop from a year earlier, mainly affected by temporary production disruption and weak global demand caused by COVID-19.
Korea Sales
Sales at Hyundai’s home market declined 26 percent year-over-year (y/y) to 39,290 units.

Overseas Sales
For markets other than Korea, sales slowed to 235,754 units compared with 262,414 units in 2019.
