Top 20 Models Korea : 2014 (plus imports)

The Sonata looks a bit like a Merc, and probably a similar quality

The top list is local models only, which makes no difference as imports wouldn't make the list anyway. Hyundai make up seven of the top thirteen models and eight of the top twenty. Kia make up eight of the top twenty, allowing four other models only outside the Hyundai Group.

1	Hyundai	Sonata	108,014
2	Kia	Morning	96,089
3	Hyundai	Avante	93,895
4	Hyundai	Grandeur	93,209
5	Hyundai	Sante Fe	77,689
6	Chevrolet	Spark	60,500
7	Kia	K3	49,303
8	Kia	K5	49,000
9	Kia	Sportage	47,719

18	Hyundai	Accent	23,209
19	Kia	K7	22,457
20	Samsung	SM3	20,614

The Tiguan is surprisingly the top import in Korea

I find the import list weird. It seems that every engine and trim variant is listed as a model. That would be fine if we got more than the top ten and could see the total sales of a model. Of the list we do have, nine of them are German model variants, including two BMW 520s.

1	VW	Tiguan 2l Tdi	8,106
2	BMW	520d	6,546
3	Mercedes	E220 Cdi	5,921
4	VW	Golf 2l Tdi	5,282
5	VW	Passat 2l Tdi	4,577
6	Lexus	ES300h	4,386
7	BMW	520d xDrive	3,982
8	Mercedes	E250 Cdi 4Matic	3,771
9	BMW	320d	3,607
10	Audi	A6 3.0 Tdi Quattro	3,459
