Hyundai East Rand has been honoured as one of the 2026 Hyundai Global Top 100 Dealerships, placing it among the highest‑performing Hyundai dealerships worldwide.
Selected from a network of more than 3 000 dealerships, the annual awards celebrate excellence in vehicle sales, customer satisfaction, aftersales service and overall business performance. This achievement marks the second time a South African dealership has earned the accolade, following Hyundai Springfield Park, and highlights the growing competitiveness of the country’s dealer network on the global stage.
During the 2025 financial year, Hyundai East Rand delivered exceptional operational results, selling 1 824 vehicles and servicing 6 140 customer vehicles. These achievements reflect the dealership’s strong market performance, trusted aftersales offering and commitment to delivering an outstanding customer experience.
In a message to the dealership, Hyundai Motor Company President and Chief Executive Officer José Muñoz said the award reflects the dedication demonstrated by the team in a challenging global operating environment. He noted that last year presented significant challenges for the automotive industry, with market volatility, regulatory uncertainty, intensified competition and geopolitical pressures reshaping the landscape. Despite these conditions, Hyundai achieved resilient performance thanks to the commitment and outstanding efforts of dealerships such as Hyundai East Rand.
Stanley Anderson, CEO of Hyundai Automotive South Africa, emphasised that the recognition reflects Hyundai East Rand’s consistent performance across key business metrics. He explained that the dealership has continually delivered outstanding results across every area of the business, demonstrating its determination to exceed customer expectations and its commitment to excellence.
Dealer Principal Xolani Mpabanga highlighted the collective effort behind the achievement. He stated that the award belongs to every member of the dealership team and to the loyal customers who continue to support them. He added that being recognised among Hyundai’s top dealerships globally motivates the team to raise standards even further.

With forecasts of snow, icy rain and stormy weather across the country, motorists are urged to drive carefully and adapt their driving style to suit the conditions.
