Hyundai Motor Co, South Korea's top automaker, said Monday it has sold more than five million units of its mid-size Sonata sedan worldwide, a feat achieved 25 years after the first Sonata was rolled out in 1985, reports Yonhap News Agency.

Some 2.7 million units of various Sonata models, from the very first Sonata to the latest sixth-generation Sonata, locally known as the Sonata YF, were sold here while the rest were sold overseas, including 1.3 million units in the United States.

"The Sonata is the very history of South Korea's mid-size sedans that enjoyed the great affection of customers for the past 25 years, even called the best sedan of South Korea," Yonhap quoted a Hyundai executive as saying

The Sonata is only the third South Korean vehicle to reach accumulated global sales of five million units, following the Accent and the Avante, both also by Hyundai Motor, the company said.

Hyundai Motor is set to introduce the next generation hybrid Sonata in the second half of the year, according to the Hyundai executive.
