Jacksonville Hyundai Dealership Reveals Sonata Was Most Shopped-for Car in May

The 2011 Hyundai Sonata was the most shopped-for car in the automotive industry for the month of May, as announced by leading Jacksonville Hyundai dealer, Hyundai of St. Augustine.

Compete, a company which helps top brands analyze online customer behavior, compiled data across all major brands and found that the Sonata appeared on 130,000 car shopping lists. It appeared more frequently than models such as Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Honda Civic and Ford Fusion, which are often at the top of lists like these.

With so many researching the Sonata online, it comes as no surprise that the sedan was a large contributor to the tremendous success Hyundai experienced in June. As a company, Hyundai sales were up 35 percent compared to June 2009. The Sonata factored in with gains of 49 percent from last June.

For the third consecutive month, the Sonata was also America’s third-highest selling mid-size sedan, well ahead of vehicles in its segment like Chevy Malibu, Nissan Altima, and Ford Fusion.

Sales are also up for the year to date with Hyundai on pace to surpass 500,000 vehicle sales for the first time in history.

“Consumers are discovering that the all-new 2011 Sonata builds on the nameplate’s legacy of value with exciting design, best-in-class fuel economy and outstanding residual value,” said Scott Margason, director of product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “The combination makes Sonata a top contender in the competitive mid-size category, so we are pleased, but not surprised, by the market reception so far.”

The Hyundai Sonata is quickly becoming one of America’s most popular vehicles while still remaining one of its most affordable.
