Hyundai: from the origins to the present day - analysing the cost of models

Hyundai is a South Korean car manufacturer. The headquarters of the brand is located in Seoul. A company that, unlike most European and American brands, does not have a long history. The company that bears the name Hyundai was founded only in 1947. Initially, it was engaged in the construction business. The automobile business started in 1967 when a division called Hyundai Motor Co. Ltd. was spun off.

The first cars were based on Ford technology and were produced under licence. In 1975, the first model developed by Hyundai came off the assembly line. It should be noted that despite the little experience, the brand managed to achieve high sales figures, and today the brand's cars are sold in more than 200 countries. This was also facilitated by a short cooperation with Daimler-Chrysler. The success is also due to such characteristics as high reliability, recognised mainly in the German market and an unprecedented for Europe warranty period of up to seven years.

Today, Hyundai is one of the largest car manufacturers in the world.

The cost of Hyundai cars varies widely, reflecting the diversity of the brand's model range. The average price of a new Hyundai in Europe starts at €14,000 for compact models and can reach €65,000 or more for premium versions and electric cars.

The price for a car of this concern depends on many distinctive features:

  • Model. Prices for different models, as well as their generations, vary greatly. Sometimes the difference in price reaches several thousand euros.
  • Completion. The richer the equipment, the higher the cost. A tuned car will cost the client more.
  • Engine. Models are offered with different engines, from petrol and diesel to hybrid and electric cars.
  • Transmission. The brand offers cars with manual, automatic and robotised gearboxes. Robotic gearboxes are much more expensive.
  • Year of manufacture. Prices for new cars are higher than for used cars.

The most affordable car in Hyundai's European line-up is the i10 model, the price of which starts at around €13,000 in basic configuration. Despite its entry-level status, the Hyundai i10 offers the modern technology and economy typical of the brand.

The cost of the Hyundai i10 can vary depending on the following factors:

  • Engine: economical petrol versions are available
  • Transmission: manual or automatic
  • Equipment: from basic to top-of-the-range.
  • Body colour: standard colours are cheaper than metallic or pearlescent.
  • Wheel discs: steel or alloy wheels, size from 14 to 16 inches.
  • Interior: type of seat upholstery, climate control.
  • Technology: basic or advanced multimedia system, driver assistance systems.
  • Option packages: Winter Pack, Tech Pack and others.

Even in its basic configuration, the Hyundai i10 includes a number of important features such as electric power steering, ABS, ESP and front airbags.

The most expensive Hyundai production car on the European market is the Hyundai IONIQ 5 in top specification, which can cost up to €65,000. This all-electric crossover represents the pinnacle of technology and design of the Korean brand.

Factors influencing the high cost of the Hyundai IONIQ 5:

  • Electric powertrain: powerful electric motors and a high-capacity battery pack
  • Innovative E-GMP platform: specifically designed for electric vehicles
  • Advanced technology: Level 2 autonomous driving system, ability to recharge other electrical appliances from the car (V2L)
  • Premium interior: eco-friendly materials, spacious interior with flat floor.
  • Unique design: retro-futuristic style with parametric LED headlights
  • Fast charging: ability to charge from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in 18 minutes
  • Option Packages: Technology Package, Premium Package

It's worth noting that even among Hyundai's more ‘traditional’ models, such as the Santa Fe or Palisade, the cost of the top versions with a full range of options can easily exceed 50,000 euros. Other electric models, such as the IONIQ 6, are also in the upper price range, emphasising the brand's commitment to innovation and sustainability.
