Hyundai Motor Company has reported significant sales milestones for its SUV lineup. The second-generation Palisade is approaching 300,000 global units sold, with approximately 281,920 vehicles delivered since its January 2025 introduction. Growth for this model is driven largely by hybrid versions, which accounted for 72.1% of Palisade sales in the first eight months of 2026.

Separately, the Tucson SUV has surpassed 10.6 million cumulative global sales since its 2004 launch. When including the ix35 model for the Chinese market, total sales reach approximately 11.17 million units. This makes the Tucson the first South Korean-made SUV to reach the 10 million milestone. The model's success is attributed to a shift toward localized production, with overseas plant production rising from 4% in 2005 to 76% in 2023.
