Launched 24 years ago, the Elantra has far and away been Hyundai`s top selling model. Now in its fifth generation, the Elantra is sold as a coupe, sedan and wagon, and under the Avante name in its home market.
It`s one of the top selling cars in the world, and Hyundai has earned the right to crow that it has sold its 10 million of them globally. That means that, on average, Hyundai has sold more than 45 new Elantras every hour of every day of every year since its introduction in 1990.
Other models in the 10 Million Club include the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, VW Beetle and Golf, and the Ford Model T and F-Series. The latter might still be considered the most impressive, selling over 34 million units-the vast majority in the US-to be America`s top-selling vehicle for over 30 years running.
