i10 Wins Indian Car Award
Hyundai Motor's i10,'' its first overseas-exclusive model, won India's Car of the Year award.
The model was judged the best of all models launched in India from last year by a panel of 12 local car journalists, the auto group announced on Sunday. Four other media outlets also picked it as the best automobile for 2008.
``It's the first time a single model was unanimously named the year's best here,'' Lheem Heung-Soo, said Hyundai Motor India's managing director. ``We expect this will help boost its Europe and Asia sales as well.''
The production of i10 is done at the maker's second Indian plant in Chennai, which opened in February. The model sold 45,000 units on the local market and also earned an accumulative shipment order of 72,000 by March.
