Hyundai closing in on their brand value Honda Rises

Hyundai Motor Corp. surprised everyone this year by the biggest increase in automotive brand value and recognition. Hyundai for the first time he beat marques such as Porsche, Lexus and Nissan. Honda and Toyota are now forced to take more seriously as Hyundai is now closing in on them at a rapid pace. According to JD Power and Associates, Hyundai has one of the higher ratings of consumer satisfaction of all vehicle manufacturers and brand value has increased considerably after the introduction of a range of hot models 2006.

According to the 2006 Best Global Brands survey Hyundai Motor Company has emerged as one of the world's leading brands with stellar levels of customer satisfaction that rival the best in the industry. Yes Brandon, vice president of brand strategy for Hyundai, said: "Hyundai represents solid quality and representation at all levels now that we have everything from low end to our new entry into the luxury sedan with Alzerra". Hyundai is now seen as a serious player in the automotive sector. While other automakers are worried about profits (GM and Chrysler), Hyundai is thinking about how much market share it will take more this year. The Alzerra was destined to the Acura and Lexus luxury car and has shown great promise so far.

Apparently Hyundai has taken a page from Walmart founder Sam Walton - price yourself as aggressive as possible, providing what customers want and need. Hyundai prices their competition and sits poised to become perhaps the largest automotive player similar to what Walmart has done with its retail stores. According to the Harvard Business Review, Hyundai has the perfect business model and will be the car company to beat in the coming years. The big chains like Hendrick Automotive Group car dealerships and Sonic are adding Hyundai dealers as fast as they can be built.

Hyundai is not sitting on its laurels with the good news, however. They are investing heavily in research and product development. They are also planning and designing more competitive models.
