The Hyundai Palisade is the 4th best-selling vehicle in South Korea in January. Sales of local models in South Korea gain 4.5% year-on-year in January to 117.464 units. Market leader Hyundai (+22.5%) is also the most dynamic this month at over 55.000 units while sister brand Kia (-2.8%) retreats to 38.000. Ssangyong (+14.5%) posts a solid gain seeing it bypass Renault Samsung (-19.2%) and GM Korea (-35.6%), something that new luxury brand Genesis (-17.6%) also does, ranking #4 overall for the first time ever. Model-wise, below the Hyundai Grandeur (+5%), Porter (+43.3%) and Santa Fe (+136.8%), the all-new Hyundai Palisade stuns the world and surges 22 spots on its inaugural moth in December to land directly at #4, a little more than 1.000 units below its smaller sibling the Santa Fe. Such success was definitely not in the books as the Palisade could even overtake the Santa Fe in the coming months. The Kia K9 (+724.4%), Soul (+232.3%), K3 (+159.9%), Ssangyong Korando Sports (+64.4%), Genesis G90 (+47.7%), Samsung QM6 (+31.6%), Hyundai Tucson (+29.8%), Kia Carnival (+21.6%) and K5 (+16.3%) also impress further down.
