Leading the charge
We’re not here to follow - we’re here to lead.
Hyundai has introduced many of the nation’s automotive firsts here in New Zealand, including advanced engine technologies and innovative safety features (which are now considered industry standards! And we’re still pushing to do bigger and better.
From our work in sustainability to our use of high-quality build materials and advanced modern technology, we’re always striving for perfection - and will stop at nothing to get there.
Hyundai's innovation story
We’re extremely proud to be able to meet the needs and requirements of our customers through the development and implementation of new vehicle functions, such as electrification, connectivity and autonomous driving. Because Hyundai NZ is a 100% kiwi business, we ensure you get the best of both worlds – the benefits of global investment, research and development, combined with our local commitment and understanding. Read below to follow our innovation journey through the years.
Steel
To get the best, sometimes you have to do the work yourself. That’s why when it comes to our steel - the very foundation of all of our vehicles - we make it ourselves.
Because we source and make our own steel, we can ensure that it meets our every exacting performance standard, improving strength while reducing weight and keeping our customers safe.
Safety
Cars should be fun, but safety is always most important on the road. At Hyundai NZ, we have a long history of being some of the country’s leading innovators in road safety, introducing many of the nation’s firsts that have since gone on to become automotive standards.
Our legacy of safety inspires our modern innovation, too. Hyundai cars are still famous for their safety thanks to our use of SmartSense™ driver assistance systems, which is just one reason we’re consistently awarded five-star ratings by ANCAP.

Driving isn’t meant to be boring. That’s why we’ve developed our range of Hyundai N performance cars, honed in some of the world’s toughest conditions and proven on real championship race tracks.
