The Passenger Cars (PC) segment leads the record-high July sales with 2,564 units out from HARI's dealerships. This is 12% ahead of 2016's sales total of 2,296 units. Still reigning as the model with the most sold units is the Accent nameplate, which tallied 1,608 units accounting to 45% of HARI's whole performance. The subcompact sedan also led the 1st half sales of HARI, which accumulated 7,711 units sold.

The Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) segment, on the other hand, showed positive results in terms of year-on-year basis. The segment grew 52%, totaling to 1,030 units having been sold. The brand claims that this could be attributed to the H-100 commercial truck, which sold 287 units in July, doubling its output from the same month of 2016.
