    Hyundai Elantra has become the world’s best selling car taking the title from Toyota Corolla. Toyota Corolla sedan has been the world’s best selling car driving past Volkswagen Beetle lately.
    Elantra has brought accolades for the South Korean Car maker this time.

    In India as well car makers like Honda, Toyota and others have to compromise their production capacities due to short supply of components. Maruti India on the other hand suffered a huge blow due to the labor strike at its Manesar plant. Following which the production of Maruti Swift and Maruti Swift Dzire sedan was severely affected and the waiting period rose to over six months at a point leading to a lot of cancellation of bookings.

    Hyundai Motors on the other hand has been steadily climbing up the ladder gradually. Giving consistent performance in the recent years with consistent supply of cars, it has proved itself to be a much reliable brand. Following this, Hyundai Elantra (1.01 million sold in 2011) and Hyundai Sonata have bagged good response from car buyers across the globe besides, small car Hyundai i10 and Hyundai i20. These have left behind sales of Toyota Camry, Corolla and Honda Civic and Honda Accord.

    I have seen this news from source: Hyundai Elantra becomes the world
