Positive

Score in full report

Hyundai has substantially rebuilt its brand reputation from budget-market perception to genuine quality competitor, with strong EV traction (Ioniq 5 and 9 winning awards, sales growth), but faces significant recent damage from a September 2025 immigration raid at its Georgia battery plant that detained 475 workers and triggered international backlash and delayed investment. The brand enjoys solid product praise and app integration, offset by ongoing customer service and software frustrations.

EV leadership and product recognition

Hyundai's electric vehicles are winning major automotive awards (Car and Driver EV of the Year in 2021-2023, Ioniq 5 N earning praise for performance and design) and consistently outselling Tesla in multiple markets.
