Made in Europe.
Making a mark on the continent.
Throughout the past three decades, Hyundai has gradually expanded its presence in Europe. The automaker has constructed many important facilities, from R&D and Design centres to production plants, as well as introducing models specifically aimed at European customers.
From Asia to Europe and the world.
In just a few years Hyundai Motor has demonstrated strategic global growth and enriched its brand image with a focus on quality, design, innovation, technology and sustainability. For Hyundai’s customers in Europe design is becoming purchasing reason number one.
Manufactured in Europe.
To fully adapt its business to the European market, Hyundai Motor built up its European operations by opening production facilities in Turkey in 1997 and the Czech Republic in 2008. The two factories alone have a total production capacity of almost 600,000 cars per year. They fulfil highest quality standards to meet European customers’ expectations, enabling Hyundai Motor to deliver an industry-leading peace of mind package: a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty.
Nürburgring Test Centre.
To guarantee best quality, Hyundai Motor Europe engages in regular and rigorous testing at its Nürburgring Test Centre in Germany. Hyundai Motor’s Accelerated Durability Test for instance simulates a normal vehicle’s lifecycle in just four to six weeks, covering 110 arduous laps per week.
Hyundai Motorsport.
Established on 19 December 2012, Hyundai Motorsport GmbH (HMSG) is responsible for Hyundai’s global motorsport activities, including World Rally Championship (WRC) program as well as Customer Racing.
