The Hyundai Avante is reported reaching 5 million in sales since its debut in 1995. The same record was broke by Hyundai Accent in 2001, it means that Avante is the second one to break this record.
Since the Avante’s predecessor Elantra (948,348 units sold) was introduced in 1990, the vehicle line — Avante (introduced in 1995, 1.2 million sold), Avante XD (2000, 2.2 million), and Avante HD (2006, 593,915) — has been a continual bestseller. If every Avante sold to date was placed bumper to bumper, the line would reach from Seoul to Busan (428 km) and back 26 times.
