Hyundai Motor Group, the world’s fifth-largest automotive conglomerate, said Wednesday that its sales in China and India rose 8.2 percent on-year in June, fueled by solid demand for its popular models.

The conglomerate said combined sales by its flagship companies Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp. in the two countries stood at 171,188 units last month, up from 158,225 a year earlier.

China represents the largest market for Hyundai and Kia vehicles, even surpassing the U.S. market. India, where only Hyundai cars are sold, is also a significant market.

For the first half of this year, combined sales of the two companies stood at 1,071,065, up just under 8.8 percent from 984,585 units tallied for the previous year.(Yonhap)
