Top-selling new Hyundai models in California

New retail registrations this year, fleets excluded, from the California New Car Dealers Association. Each model is among the top five in its segment. The DMV file has no model names, so these count new cars, not every Hyundai on the road. Only plug-in and fuel-cell models have county maps. The state energy agency publishes gas, hybrid and diesel vehicles without a make or model.
