According to the data by automotive associations in each nation, Hyundai Motor's sales in those markets, which also include Russia, India and Mexico, came to 74,058 units in April, up 4.2 percent from the same period last year.

Hyundai sold 16,453 cars in Brazil, 12,201 in Russia, 42,351 in India and 3,053 in Mexico, the data showed.

Hyundai's combined shares in the four emerging countries stood at a record high of 11.6 percent in April, though auto sales in the countries sank 2.7 percent during the period. (Yonhap)
