In a scant 14 months since its launch, Hyundai Motor India’s Elite i20 hatchback has driven past the 100,000 unit sales landmark in the domestic market.
Till end-May 2015, the car had clocked total sales of 100,506 units – 51,326 of them petrol and 49,180 diesel variants. This clearly points to the return of petrol in the car market as a result of the tightening price gap between the two fuels.

Commenting on the landmark sales, B S Seo, MD and CEO, Hyundai Motor India, said: “We are overwhelmed with the customer’s response by receiving over unprecedented 100,000 sales for the Elite i20 in 11 months. This reflects the strong customer connect and confidence on Hyundai products.”
