With 603,542 vehicles sold in 2025, Hyundai holds a markets share of 4.2 % across EU35 (EU, EFTA, UK, Eastern Europe and Turkey). More than 70 per cent of Hyundai vehicles sold in the region are models engineered, tested, and manufactured in Europe, tailored to meet the specific needs of European customers. These vehicles are designed and engineered in Hyundai’s R&D facilities in Germany, and produced at the company’s Czech and Turkish production plants.
In 2025, 24 per cent of Hyundai cars sold in Europe were electrified vehicles, including INSTER, named 2025 World Electric Vehicle and the IONIQ 9 named Germany’s 2026 Premium Car of the Year. This solidifies Hyundai’s position as one of the leading manufacturers in terms of electrification in Europe as the company undergoes a transformation into a Smart Mobility Solutions Provider.

With its vision of “Progress for Humanity” and a strong commitment to electrification, Hyundai is accelerating the expansion of its battery‑electric vehicle line-up, electrifying all models in Europe by 2027.
