Michael Lyng Motors Hyundai is proud to announce that we have finished Q1 2025 as the top dealership for new car registrations in Kilkenny, securing a dominant 14.43% market share with 160 new KK Hyundai registrations. This achievement reflects the continued trust and confidence that local drivers place in Hyundai and in our dedicated team at Michael Lyng Motors.

Tucson & Kona Lead the Charge The Hyundai Tucson was once again the standout performer, accounting for 86 of our 160 registrations, reaffirming its position as Ireland’s favourite SUV. Nationally, the Tucson continued its dominance, finishing as the best-selling car in the country with 2,830 units sold. The Hyundai Kona also performed strongly, with 36 units registered in Kilkenny, reinforcing Hyundai’s leadership in the compact SUV segment.

The Rise of Electrification The shift towards electrification continues at pace across the Irish market. Nationally, EV sales have risen by 25% year-on-year, showing strong consumer confidence in electric mobility. Notably, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) sales have surged by an impressive 60%, highlighting the growing appeal of flexible, low-emission driving solutions.
