Hyundai Motor Group Attains 100 Million Car Production Milestone
- by MT Bureau
- September 30, 2024

South Korean auto major Hyundai Motor Company has achieved a significant manufacturing milestone, marking 100 million units of global cumulative production. This achievement was accomplished in 57 years since the company’s foundation, making it one of the fastest in the global automotive industry. In honour of this milestone, Hyundai Motor held a ceremony at its Ulsan Plant in Korea.
The company delivered its 100 millionth and first vehicle, an Ioniq 5, directly to a customer. The vehicle rolled off the final inspection conveyor belt at Ulsan Plant’s shipping centre during a special handover ceremony. The event also featured a celebratory display commemorating ‘100 million and 1’, symbolising Hyundai Motor’s commitment to pushing one step further with its past accomplishments as the foundation.
Jaehoon Chang, President & CEO, Hyundai Motor Company said, “Reaching global cumulative production of 100 million vehicles is a meaningful milestone that was possible thanks to our customers around the world who have chosen and supported Hyundai Motor since the very beginning. Taking on bold challenges and being in constant pursuit of innovation has enabled us to achieve rapid growth and will empower us to take ‘one step further’ toward another 100 million units as a mobility game changer.”
The automaker states that its Ulsan Plant, which began operations in 1968, holds significant historical importance as the ‘birthplace of the development of the Korean automobile industry.’ Notably, the plant produced Korea’s first mass-produced independent model, the Pony, in 1975.
At present, the Ulsan Plant is a central hub for electrification, and the company is establishing a dedicated electric vehicle (EV) facility at the site.
Dong Seock Lee, President and Head of Domestic Productions at Hyundai Motor Company added, “Each and every employee at Hyundai Motor has contributed to the accumulation of 100 million units through their hard work and dedication. This auspicious occasion is just the first step toward the future era of electrification that Hyundai Motor will lead.”
The historic achievement follows Hyundai Motor’s continuous growth, fuelled by the launch of its premium brand Genesis, the high-performance brand N, and the introduction of EVs such as the Ioniq 5 based on the dedicated electric global modular platform (E-GMP).
The company’s global footprint has expanded with production facilities in Turkey, India, the U.S., and the Czech Republic, contributing to record achievements including surpassing 50 million vehicles manufactured in 2013.
Last year, Hyundai Motor built on this momentum by establishing the Hyundai Motor Group Global Innovation Center Singapore (HMGICS), a new concept of a smart urban mobility hub. The innovative manufacturing platforms and advanced technologies developed there, including artificial intelligence (AI), robots, and smart factories, are set to be introduced to future production factories, such as Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA), maximising production efficiency.

Maruti Suzuki India, the country’s largest carmaker, has reported its wholesales of 179,791 units in April 2025, marking a 7 percent increase compared to 168,089 units sold in April 2024. The growth was primarily propelled by strong performance in utility vehicles and a sharp rise in export volumes.
Domestic sales, including passenger and light commercial vehicles, remained flat with 142,053 units, as compared to 140,448 units in April 2024. Within this, light commercial vehicles (LCVs) like the Super Carry saw a significant jump of 34.2 percent, with sales rising to 3,349 units from 2,496 units last year.
In the passenger vehicle segment, SUVs such as the Brezza, Ertiga, Grand Vitara and others recorded a 4.4 percent increase, selling 59,022 units compared to 56,553 in the previous year. However, sales for Eeco declined by 5.2 percent, while the mini segment (Alto, S-Presso) saw a sharp 45 percent drop, falling to 6,332 units from 11,519 units. The compact segment, which includes high-volume models like the Baleno and Swift, grew by 8.1 percent, reaching 61,591 units.
Sales to Toyota Kirloskar Motor rose sharply by 79.2 percent, from 5,481 units to 9,827 units, indicating a growing demand for cross-badged products.
The standout performer was the export segment, which surged 26 percent to 27,911 units from 22,160 units in April 2024. This strong export growth helped bolster the company’s overall numbers despite weaknesses in domestic sub-segments.
While some product lines such as the mid-size sedan Ciaz (-63 percent) continue to struggle.
