Hyundai Auto Canada saw a record-breaking August, up year-over-year thanks to continued demand for key nameplates across its lineup. The month also marked a significant milestone for Genesis with the global unveiling of the all-new GV90, the luxury brand’s newest flagship vehicle.
With 12,934 vehicles sold in August, Hyundai Canada continued to see strong consumer demand across its lineup. The TUCSON led the way, setting a new benchmark and achieving an all-time sales record for August with 4,265 units sold, The KONA followed in second with 2,822 combined ICE and EV sales. The ELANTRA rounded out the top three with 2,140 units, demonstrating continued demand for Hyundai’s award-winning SUVs and passenger vehicles among Canadian consumers.

Genesis Canada also achieved a record August, with 770 vehicles sold. Leading the charge was the GV70, which recorded its strongest August performance ever with 526 units delivered, contributing to continued year-over-year growth.

Momentum is expected to continue following the global debut of the highly anticipated Genesis GV90, the brand’s new flagship electric SUV with pilar-less coach doors, rotating seats and a full lounge interior. The reveal generated strong interest from both media and consumers, reinforcing Genesis’ growing presence in the luxury market and bold vision for the future of electrified mobility.
