Hyundai Auto Romania

As compared to other motor vehicle manufacturers, the history of the Hyundai Company is quite short, at its 41 years.

Nevertheless, the company has brought a distinctive note to the international business world thanks to its ambition and perseverance in becoming one of the most important automotive companies in the world.

With more than 6.000 dealers and showrooms in 193 countries and an annual output of more than 3 million units, the Hyundai Motor Company is one of the most important players in the world auto market, having reached 5th place in the top of the world’s best selling auto brands.

"True Quality Matters" represents the philosophy of the Hyundai brand, a motto which is visible in the quality of the products it sells, on the one hand, and its approach to quality of life and social responsibility, on the other.

GENERAL DISTRIBUITOR

In December 1994, the Auto Division of the Ţiriac Group began selling in Romania motor vehicles produced by the Hyundai Motor Company, thereby laying the foundations for the Hyundai Auto Romania SRL Company.

The true revolution in the Hyundai brand in Romania has started in 2004, by increasing the sales volume with 115% as opposed to 2003. The period 2004-2008 was extremely impressive, with Hyundai reaching the 6th place in the importers' top, with a market share of 7%.
