Hyundai-Kona_Electric-2018

Korea best selling cars 2017 ranking shows a new leader, the sixth generation of the mid size Hyundai Grandeur, which has taken the leadership ahead of the previous leader, the Hyundai Porter. Ssangyong placed the Tivoli within the top 10.

South Korean vehicles market has been closed to foreign vehicles import until the recent (2012) FTA with EU. The entrance of many new competitors fueled the market growth in these years and the all time record sales had been established in three years in a row, with 2016 above 1.8 million units. According to data released by KAMA and KAIDA, in the 2017 the market was penalized by a slow start of the year and the second half recovery was not enough to break a new record again, with light vehicles sales ended at 1.814.399 units, down 1.1%, the third best performance ever.

As far as the best-selling vehicles, a new leader was on top of the list, Hyundai Grandeur with 132.080 sales (+92.2%).

The Hyundai Grandeur actually is a mid-size car  produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai since 1986. The Grandeur has evolved through five generations with intermediate facelifts, and is marketed under various nameplates worldwide—prominently as the Hyundai Azera. The current sixth generation was presented in October 2016.

In second place the 2016 leader,  the Hyundai Porter , with 101.032 units (+4.2%) and in third the Hyundai Avante with 83.861 (-10.6%).

In fourth place the Hyundai Sonata, the 2015 leader, with 82.703 sales (+0.6%) ahead of the Kia Sorento with 78.458 (-2.8%), the Kia Morning with 70.437 sales (-6.3%) and the Kia Carnival with 68.386 (+3.7%).

In eight place the Kia Bongo, up 4 spots, with 62.184 (+9.5%) ahead of the Ssangyong Tivoli, up 2 spots, with 55.280 (-2.9%) and in 10th place the Hyundai Santa Fe with 51.661 sales (-32.8%).
