This month marks the top sales for Hyundai and Checkered Flag Hyundai, a Virginia Beach Hyundai dealer, has been a contributing dealership.

According to Hyundai, March has been the best month for sales for the company, announces Virginia Beach Hyundai dealer Checkered Flag Hyundai.  The brand’s success can be attributed greatly to the updated Sonata and Elantra.  So far in 2011, Hyundai has been up 28% in sales.

“March was an unbelievably strong month for Hyundai,” said Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai Motor America’s executive vice president of national sales. “Consumer demand was comparable to our previous record-setting month, August 2009, when the high watermark for sales was set with the “Cash for Clunkers” program. With our overall supply of fuel-efficient vehicles improving, and the recent launch of our breakthrough 40-mpg 2011 Elantra, we are poised to sustain our momentum into the strong spring selling season.”

• Total monthly sales up 32 percent; retail volume up 41 percent
• Total first quarter sales up 28 percent; first quarter retail volume up 46 percent
• 28 percent of March vehicle sales deliver 40-mpg highway rating
• Hyundai’s sales-weighted corporate average fuel economy hits an industry-leading, all-time record of 35.8 mpg

Virginia Beach Hyundai Recognizes 2011 Elantra

Hyundai also just took home a new award with the Hyundai Elantra making the Top Ten Best Interior’s list.

“Proving economy cars ‘ain’t what they used to be,’ the Hyundai Elantra Limited delivers enough flair to suggest the South Korean automaker is finding its own unique interior design language,” said Drew Winter, editor-in-chief, Ward’s AutoWorld. “The instrument panel of the Elantra displays a curvaceous sensuality, with a belt drawn tightly around the climate controls; the center console then widens as it flows down to the gear shifter.”

The cars are ranked according to a score sheet that accounts for materials, safety, human-machine interface, comfort, and much more.  Hyundai’s 2011 Elantra combines safety, affordability and excellent design, three features Virginia Beach Hyundai shoppers are looking for in a new car.

“The sophisticated interior of the Elantra is designed to bring new life to the compact car segment combined with the ultimate in functionality for the driver,” said Chris Zarlenga, design manger, Hyundai America Technical Center. “Being named to Ward’s 10 Best Interiors, alongside vehicles like the Audi A8 and BMW X3 xDrive35i, shows that compact cars can provide an engaging experience as well.”
