- HB20 achieves production landmark in less than three years since September 2012
- HB20 is a highly popular vehicle in Brazil with numerous accolades
Hyundai Motor Brazil celebrated accumulated production of 500,000 units of its HB20. Developed exclusively for the Brazilian market, the model went into production at its plant in Piracicaba, São Paulo, on September 20, 2012.
“This achievement has a more significant meaning than just the volume itself or the time it took us to achieve it. Rather, it is a concrete proof of the excellent acceptance of the Hyundai HB20 by the Brazilian consumers”, said William Lee, President of Hyundai Motor Brazil.
The vehicle has received numerous awards in the country, from the most recent Right Buy 2015 award by Car and Driver, to Best Cars, and Which Car to Buy awards just a year ago to name a few. In line with such recognition, it is by far one of the most popular cars among the customers in the country, having become one of the best-sellers since its launch.
Commemorating this landmark achievement with its customers, Hyundai Motor is conducting numerous promotional activities beneficial to the customers. Also, it is executing diverse marketing campaigns, one of which being sponsorship of the Christ the Redeemer – whereby it is providing wireless internet access free of charge for the first time ever, to the three million people that visit this iconic statue in Brazil for the next two years.
