Core Viewpoint - Hyundai Motor aims to enhance brand recognition in the competitive Chinese automotive market, focusing on flagship models like the Parisite and the Elantra N TCR Edition rather than immediate profitability [2][10]. Group 1: Historical Performance - Hyundai's Beijing Modern achieved significant sales milestones in the past, with Sonata and Elantra models leading to over 1 million annual sales in 2013 [3]. - However, sales have declined sharply due to the rise of domestic brands, dropping from over 820,000 units in 2017 to approximately 154,000 units by 2024 [3][4]. Group 2: Sales Strategy - The company has adopted a "price for volume" strategy, significantly reducing prices on models like the 11th generation Sonata and the new Tucson L to stimulate sales [3][5]. - In June 2025, sales showed a 66% month-over-month increase, attributed to these price cuts [3]. Group 3: Market Challenges - Hyundai's current lineup primarily consists of fuel vehicles, which do not meet the growing demand for new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China, where NEV penetration reached 54% in July 2025 [5][6]. - The penetration rate for NEVs among mainstream joint venture brands is only 6.7%, indicating a significant gap compared to domestic brands [5]. Group 4: Future Plans - Hyundai plans to accelerate its transition to NEVs, defining 2025 as the year of its NEV brand launch, with a dual matrix of NEVs and fuel vehicles [8]. - The company aims to introduce 2 to 3 new energy models annually over the next four years, covering various vehicle types [8]. Group 5: Investment and Partnerships - Beijing Automotive and Hyundai have agreed to invest $1.095 billion in Beijing Modern to support its transition to NEVs and enhance its product offerings [7]. - The investment will help stabilize capital in the short term and facilitate technology and product investments for long-term growth [7]. Group 6: New Product Launches - Hyundai has introduced the hybrid version of the Parisite and plans to launch the ELEXIO series, a pure electric SUV, in September 2025 [9][10]. - The ELEXIO is based on Hyundai's global electric vehicle platform and is expected to have a range of over 700 km [9].
