Hyundai and Kia expect to set a new company best record for global annual sales.

Thanks to better-than-expected sales in Brazil, China and India, the two Korean automakers will sell a record eight million vehicles this year, beating their target of 7.86 million vehicles after selling 6.55 million units in the first 10 months of 2014. Strong demand for the Tucson and Sante Fe crossovers also helped boost sales worldwide.
