Cape Town residents have embraced the Hyundai brand for its innovation, reliability as well as value-for-money and that enthusiasm has not gone unnoticed, says the Korean manufacturer with the opening of a new dealership in the Mother City.
“The continued demand for Hyundai vehicles has driven the company to expand its presence, ensuring customers have even greater access to the vehicles they love and the service they trust.
“Thanks to the overwhelming support and loyalty of motorists in the Mother City and the broader Western Cape province, we are proud to announce the opening of our brand-new dealership, Hyundai Foreshore,” says Stanley Anderson, CEO of Hyundai Automotive South Africa.
The local Hyundai leadership team is cognizant of the challenges that lie ahead as Cape Town remains one of South Africa’s most competitive and brand-conscious automotive regions.

“We have done our homework. We understand the local market and what drivers want. Therefore, we are ready to compete by offering exceptional value, quality vehicles and an ownership experience that exceeds their expectations,” says Gcina Mahonga, Regional Manager for Western Cape at Hyundai Automotive South Africa.
Hyundai Automotive South Africa currently has a total of eleven dealerships around the Western Cape, namely Plumstead, Cape Town, Milnerton, N1 City, Tygervalley, Bellville, Brackenfell, Paarl, Stellenbosch, Somerset West and Foreshore.
“We are incredibly proud and excited about our new dealership. We cannot wait to welcome customers and our promise is simple: every customer who walks through our doors will feel heard, valued and excited,” states Mario Palmer, Dealer Principal at Hyundai Foreshore located in Old Marine Drive, Foreshore in Cape Town.


Dealership service departments know the pattern: the moment warranties and service plans expire; a portion of owners quietly migrate to the independent aftermarket.
Mercedes-Benz Vans South Africa announced its top-performing Agents and Dealers for 2025, recognising their exceptional dedication, customer service and commitment to the brand.
In today’s automotive retail environment, where new vehicle prices keep climbing beyond the reach of many consumers, used vehicles have become the backbone of dealership profitability.
