Hyundai Motor Company announced Monday that it sold 345,777 finished cars to domestic and overseas markets in April. This is a 106 per cent increase from the same month last year. Domestic sales declined 1.2 per cent year-on-year to 70,219 units, but overseas sales increased 185.1 per cent to 275,558 units.
