Hyundai Motor America has achieved a significant milestone with the sale of its 15 millionth vehicle in the US. The milestone vehicle was a Tucson, which was sold at West Herr Hyundai in Williamsville, New York to Wende and James Tuskes.

To celebrate the achievement, West Herr Automotive Group presented the Tuskes with a check to cover their first year of payments on the Tucson.

Hyundai has experienced growth in the US market over the past year, becoming the fifth-highest selling brand in the country. The company is also expanding its electric vehicle product line and manufacturing in the country.

It was not always an easy road for Hyundai, their first incursion into the US market in the 1980s ended up in such bad situation that they had to pull out for a few years, lick their wounds and come up with a new strategy.
