As Hyundai expands its UK network, six new Hyundai dealerships opened in the last month of 2019, increasing Hyundai UK’s representation to 167 outlets.
The new sites are spread across the UK, from the South West to the North East.
Vertu Motors opened a pair of new sites in Newcastle and Morpeth while Howards Motor Group expanded to four Hyundai locations with their latest venture in Weston- Super-Mare.
In other parts of the country, Just Motor Group opened their first Hyundai operation in Preston, Lancashire and Ken Brown Motors who only joined the franchise in 2018 added a second Hyundai site to their portfolio in Letchworth. Motorvogue expanded into Norwich, also adding a second Hyundai site to the group.
In Surrey, Wilsons Group added Hyundai to their operation in Epsom, further strengthening Hyundai’s representation within the M25.
Ashley Andrew, managing director, Hyundai Motor UK, said: “Sustained demand for our expanding model range – especially alternatively fuelled models – across the UK is enabling us to fill a number of strategically important retail open points.
“The focus on efficiency and electrification in our products has attracted retail partners as well as customers, and through the coming year we have a number of new vehicle launches which will be catered for by our strong UK network.”
