Johannesburg, 30 October 2025 – Hyundai Automotive South Africa marks a significant milestone this year: 25 years of delivering quality, innovation, and reliability to South African drivers. Over this quarter-century journey, the brand has amassed more than 70 prestigious motoring awards, a testament to its enduring commitment to excellence.
“It is humbling to be recognized as one of the best in the South African automotive industry over the past quarter of a century,” said Stanley Anderson, CEO of Hyundai Automotive South Africa. “Each of these awards is an independent vote of confidence from credible and respected jurors. We are immensely proud to have earned that trust consistently.”
These accolades come from some of the most authoritative organisations in the industry, including the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa, the National Automobile Dealers’ Association, the Southern African Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association, the South African Guild of Mobility Journalists, multiple Car of the Year Awards, as well as Hyundai Motor Company Global Awards.
What makes these achievements particularly notable is that Hyundai South Africa has earned them in competition with long-established automotive brands. This success underscores the company’s focus on producing high-quality vehicles, maintaining an extensive national dealer footprint, and delivering commendable aftersales service—qualities that resonate with both customers and industry experts.
“Every trophy tells a story of durability, reliability, and trust,” added Anderson. “Yet despite these accolades, we remain humble and deeply grateful to our loyal customers, whose trust and support make every award possible.”
The company’s accomplishments are not limited to its leadership team. Hyundai South Africa credits its success to a collective effort spanning the entire organisation. “Behind every award and every happy customer are hundreds of our dedicated employees—from technicians who ensure our vehicles perform at their best, to the cleaners who ensure our dealerships sparkle,” Anderson noted.
Over the years, the Hyundai brand has steadily grown both in market share and reputation. Looking ahead, the company is committed to building on its legacy and cementing its position as one of the most loved and trusted automotive brands in South Africa for the next 25 years and beyond.
