2016 turned out to be an exciting year for Hyundai in India. Apart from introducing premium cars like the Elantra and Tucson, Hyundai also rolled out the seven-millionth car from its production facility in Sriperumbudur, near Chennai. In 2016 Hyundai reached a new milestone by selling 5,00,537 units of cars. This is 5.2 per cent growth as compared to the 4,76,001 units sold in 2015. Although the exports declined by 3.4 per cent, the company saw an overall growth of 2.9 percent.
