SECTION 2 THE HYUNDAI STORY

SECTION 2

HYUNDAI — AN OVERVIEW

Hyundai vehicles provide customers a high level of content
and performance at an affordable price and demonstrate
Hyundai’s emergence as an auto manufacturer whose prod­ucts compete successfully in technology, quality, styling and
refinement with automobiles from around the world.

Hyundai sold its first car, a subcompact model, in the U.S. in

1986. At the time, few Americans had ever heard of Hyundai
or its products. Since that time, Hyundai has expanded and
upgraded its product line in the U.S. and has gained valuable
experience in the competitive U.S. automobile market. Hyun­dai now markets a full line of vehicles from subcompacts to
luxurious sedans.

HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY

The Hyundai Group was founded in 1947 as Hyundai Engi­neering and Construction Co. by Ju-Yung Chung. Hyundai
Motor Co., established in 1967, is the auto sales leader in the
Korean domestic market and exports vehicles to 190 coun­tries worldwide.

Hyundai Motor Co. (“HMC”) operates the world’s largest inte­grated automobile manufacturing facility in Ulsan, on Korea’s
southeast coast. In 1996 Hyundai opened the Namyang Tech­nology Research Center, one of eight research centers,
which includes a complete testing facility with a 2.8-mile oval
test track and a sophisticated aeroacoustic wind tunnel. That
same year, HMC began production at its state-of-the-art Asan
Plant, located southwest of Seoul.

A LOOK BACK –
HYUNDAI’S ENTRY INTO THE U.S. MARKET

The timing of Hyundai’s entry into the U.S. market in 1986 was
ideal. At that time most automobile manufacturers had aban­doned the entry-level market in favor of high-end, high-priced
vehicles and that left a large void in the market. First-time car
buyers such as college students and young families were not
able to find adequate, value-equipped cars that met their
needs, yet were priced within their economic means.

AME-ALL13MY(Main)(0619) 2012.6.19, 1:30 PM5

SECTION 2 THE HYUNDAI STORY

SECTION 2

In February 1986, Hyundai launched its subcompact Excel
model in the U.S. market. Customer response was immediate;
in just seven months Hyundai Motor America had sold its
100,000th Excel. Total 1986 sales numbered 168,882 – an in­dustry record for an import car distributor in its first year.
Hyundai sales averaged 1,431 units per dealer, another sales
record. In 1987 Hyundai sales continued to soar reaching a
record 263,610 units.

What makes this sales performance all the more remarkable
is that it was done with dealers located in only 31 of the 50
states. In the early years, Hyundai concentrated its sales ef­forts primarily on the west and east coasts, as well as in the
southern states. In 1987 Hyundai expanded into the central
portion of the Unite1011d States, and today there are five re­gions and more than 800 Hyundai dealerships nationwide.
Hyundai has sold more than 6 million vehicles in the United
States since its entry in 1986.

EXPANDING THE PRODUCT LINE

Sonata

Hyundai took a major step toward becoming a full-line automotive im­porter/distributor in 1989 with the introduction of its midsize sedan, the
Sonata. This roomy, powerful, front-wheel-drive sedan expanded
Hyundai’s appeal to more mature, family-oriented buyers. It also offered
Excel owners an opportunity to move up within the Hyundai product line.
The Sonata was redesigned for the 2011 model. The new Sonata has a
sophisticated design and the largest interior in its class.

Scoupe

Hyundai’s third entry into the U.S. market was the sporty Scoupe, intro­duced as a 1991 model. The 1993-1995 Scoupe featured the Alpha en­gine – the first powerplant designed, engineered and manufactured ex­clusively by Hyundai.

Accent

In 1995, after 9 years in the U.S. market, the Excel was replaced by the
all-new subcompact Accent. With the Accent, Hyundai offered custom­ers high-tech sophistication and features, but still at an entry-level price.
Today's Accent is the fourth generation.

Elantra

The next member of the Hyundai family to be introduced was the com­pact Elantra sedan, which debuted as a 1992 model. It quickly became
one of Hyundai best-selling models. The 5th generation Elantra was re­designed in 2011 and delivers design, safety, and up to 40 MPG high­way. The Elantra Coupe and Elantra GT were added for 2013.

SECTION 2

Elantra Touring

The Elantra Touring was introduced in late 2009, delivering exceptional
versatility and functionality in a sporty package for active families, while
maintaining the exceptional value that is a hallmark of the Elantra
name.

Tiburon

In 1997, Hyundai replaced the Scoupe with the exciting Tiburon sport
coupe, with styling based on the HCD-II concept car introduced at the
North American International Auto Show in Detroit in 1993. The Tiburon
combines sleek, eye-catching styling with outstanding performance
and handling.

Santa Fe

In the 2001 model year, Hyundai added the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe is
a car-based crossover utility vehicle (XUT) that provides car-like ride
and handling, with the seating position and utility of a sport utility ve­hicle.

XG Sedan

For the 2001 model year, Hyundai added the XG sedan. The XG sedan
was Hyundai's new flagship vehicle in the U.S. - it was larger and more
luxurious than the Sonata.

Azera

Hyundai replaced the XG sedan with the Azera starting with the 2006
model year. The Azera is a new definition of the premium sedan, with
generous interior space. Azera was redesigned in 2012.

Entourage

In 2007, Hyundai introduced the Entourage. The Entourage was
Hyundai's first van in the U.S. market.

Tucson

In 2005, Hyundai added the Tucson. The Tucson is an exciting cross­over utility vehicle that is slightly smaller than the Santa Fe, while still
providing the utility needed for life's daily adventures.

Veracruz

In 2007, Hyundai added the Veracruz. The Veracruz is a stylish mid­size SUV with standard 7-passenger seating, sleek styling, car-like
ride and premium features.

Genesis

In the 2009 model year, Hyundai added the luxury sedan, Genesis.
Genesis has an unprecedented combination of premium performance,
technology, safety, and quality.

Genesis Coupe

The Genesis Coupe made its debut in 2010. Genesis Coupe is
Hyundai’s most dynamic performance car ever and the second con­secutive all-new model introduction from Hyundai appealing directly to
the car enthusiast.

Equus

In 2011, the Equus was added as Hyundai's flagship luxury sedan of­fering unsurpassed refinement while exceeding expectations with pre­mium amenities and sophisticated design.

HYUNDAI FACILITIES

As the presence of Hyundai automobiles and Hyundai Motor
America continued to grow in America, the company ex­panded its operations and service networks nationwide to
more effectively serve the needs of dealers and customers.

Today, Hyundai has regional offices in Jamesburg, NJ,
Marietta, GA, Aurora, IL, Fountain Valley, CA, and Coppell,
TX and maintains parts distribution facilities in Ontario, CA,
Aurora, IL, Lawrenceville, GA and Jamesburg, NJ. Hyundai
port facilities are located in Port Hueneme, CA, Brunswick,
GA, Portland, OR, Fort Worth, TX, and Philadelphia, PA.
In 2005, Hyundai opened its first U.S. plant in Montgomery,
Alabama. This plant features state of the art manufacturing
facilities.
After many years in the U.S. automobile market, Hyundai
continues to reinforce its commitment to sell innovative, high­quality vehicles at the most affordable prices.

Sonata Hybrid

In the 2011 model year, Hyundai introduced the Sonata Hybrid. The
Sonata Hybrid offers significant visual differentiation from non-hybrid
Sonata models while retaining the sleek, modern styling elements of
Hyundai's Fluidic Sculpture design aesthetic. The Sonata Hybrid's
unique approach to hybrid powertrain design and battery technology
sets it apart from the mid-size hybrid pack.

Veloster

For the 2012 model year, Hyundai added its cutting-edge Veloster
three-door coupe. The Veloster delivers innovation to the compact
coupe segment with unique styling, Hyundai's Blue Link Telematics
System, Pandora internet radio, and Hyundai's first Ecoshift™ dual
clutch transmission.
