Hyundai Alabama plant manufactures five millionth vehicle

Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA) has celebrated the five millionth vehicle built at Hyundai's U.S.A assembly plant.

HMMA reached the five million mark in less than 17 years, since production started in May 2005.

The five millionth vehicle was a Hyundai Santa Cruz Sport Adventure Vehicle that was built on 27 July 2021. To reach this achievement, HMMA has produced 2,562,880 Sonatas, 1,489,568 Elantras, 908,779 Santa Fes, 36,989 Tucsons, and 1,784 Santa Cruzes.

"The five millionth vehicle represents a tremendous achievement for Hyundai Motor North America. We could not have achieved this success without the strong leadership and commitment of our team members in Alabama. Hyundai will continue to invest and grow throughout the region," said Jose Munoz, Global COO of Hyundai Motor Company and president and CEO of Hyundai Motor North America.

HMMA recently completed a plant expansion to support the addition of its fourth and fifth models, the Tucson and Santa Cruz, that joined the Sonata, Elantra and Santa Fe. The addition of these models further enhances HMMA's ability to adjust its vehicle production with market demand.
