Johannesburg, South Africa – 17 October 2025 – Hyundai Automotive South Africa has reaffirmed its reputation for excellence, earning three Silver Awards at the 2025 South African Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (SAVRALA) Manufacturer of the Year Awards. The honours were presented in the Rental, Leasing, and Overall Value categories at a ceremony held in Johannesburg last night.
Recognised for its exceptional standards in sales and technical support, parts availability, and aftersales service, Hyundai’s consistent performance underscores the brand’s deep commitment to its partners in the vehicle rental and leasing industry. The SAVRALA Awards are unique in that they are driven by direct feedback from 41 of South Africa’s leading vehicle rental and leasing companies, collectively managing more than 400,000 vehicles across the country.
“This is a remarkable achievement, especially considering the highly competitive landscape we operate in,” said Stanley Anderson, CEO of Hyundai Automotive South Africa. “These awards are a reflection of the commitment, excellence and dedication by every single member of our valued dealer network. This dedicated team is on the frontlines ensuring that every rental and leasing partner receives the best level of service, support and product excellence that Hyundai is known for.”
The South African rental and leasing sector continues to navigate a complex set of challenges — from supply chain disruptions and vehicle availability pressures, to rising ownership costs and increasingly demanding service-level expectations from fleet clients.
“Competition is intensifying, with customers expecting more value at shorter lead times,” Anderson added. “For us to meet these demands while maintaining our brand integrity requires resilience and commitment — and that is something we pride ourselves on.”
Hyundai’s recognition at this year’s SAVRALA Awards not only highlights its operational excellence but also cements its position as one of South Africa’s most trusted and reliable mobility partners. As the industry evolves, Hyundai continues to drive forward with innovation, service quality, and an unwavering focus on customer satisfaction.
