SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 21, 2023 /CNW/ -- Hyundai Motor Company today announced that its brand value reached $20.4 billion in Interbrand's 'Best Global Brands 2023', ascending in valuation for 13 straight years.

Hyundai records an unprecedented increase in brand value

In 2014, Hyundai Motor's brand value reached $10 billion, and for the first six years, its valuation rose $4 billion.

Ever since it's entry in Interbrand's 'Best Global Brands' in 2005 with a valuation of $3.5 billion, the numbers have multiplied nearly six times.
