Hyundai, Kia set to top best-selling car list in Chile
[THE INVESTOR] South Korea’s largest automaker Hyundai Motor and its smaller affiliate Kia Motors are expected to top Chile’s best-selling car brands list for last year, data showed on Jan. 4.
In 2015, Hyundai was named the second best-selling car brand in Chile with sales of 32,757 units.
According to the data from Chile auto association ANAC, Hyundai Motor sold 28,033 cars in Chile in the first 11 months of the year, while Kia Motors sold 26,079 vehicles. The two automakers were followed by Chevrolet cars from GM with 25,805 units sold over the cited period.
Sales tallies for December and all of 2016 are due later this month. In the case that Hyundai Motor finishes on top, it would mark the first time since the South Korean carmaker began exporting cars to the South American country.
