The ADME Newsroom is a news aggregator. Headlines, excerpts and article images remain the property of their original publishers, are shown for the purpose of reporting news, and always link to and credit the original reporting. Items marked “file image” use manufacturer-supplied press imagery of the vehicle referenced; vehicle and brand names are trademarks of their respective owners.

Quick-read summaries and “ADME commentary” are our own, are clearly marked, and are general industry commentary — not financial, legal or purchasing advice. Summaries and commentary may be AI-assisted and can contain errors — always check the original reporting before relying on specifics. Publishers and manufacturers: for corrections, attribution changes or removal, contact advertising@adme.net.au and we'll action it promptly. Read our editorial standards.

The ADME angle

Hyundai's 40-year milestone in Australia is a testament to the brand's ability to build a loyal customer base, with many owners returning to purchase subsequent models

The Early Days

The Excel, which was first introduced in Australia 40 years ago, was a game-changer for Hyundai, providing a affordable and reliable vehicle option for Australian consumers

Hyundai's success with the Excel paved the way for the introduction of other popular models, such as the Sonata and i30, which have also contributed to the brand's longevity in the Australian market

Building on Success

Today, Hyundai is one of the top-selling brands in Australia, with a wide range of models available to suit different consumer needs and preferences

The brand's commitment to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction has enabled it to build a strong reputation in the Australian market, with many customers returning to purchase subsequent Hyundai models

Leveraging the Milestone

Australian dealers can leverage Hyundai's 40-year milestone to promote the brand's reliability and longevity to potential customers, highlighting the benefits of purchasing a vehicle from a well-established and trusted brand

One decisive action dealers can take this week is to create a social media campaign showcasing the history of Hyundai in Australia, highlighting key models and milestones, and encouraging customers to share their own Hyundai stories and experiences
