Hyundai Motor India Ltd, the country’s largest passenger car exporter and the second largest car manufacturer, today achieved yet another significant milestone with its cumulative exports crossing the 10 lakh mark. To mark the event Hyundai shipped its first ever consignment to Australia from the Chennai Port this morning. With this shipment, Hyundai is the first automobile company in India to achieve this feat in a record time of just over a decade.

"The team at Hyundai and our Dealers are really excited about what the all-new i20 will offer Australian consumers," Kevin McCann, Director of Sales and Marketing at Hyundai said. "With Generation X and Y turning to high quality cars offering value for money, the i20 will be specified to fulfil those needs and compete with products like Mazda 2, Toyota Yaris and Honda Jazz."
