With Hyundai handling the economic downturn better than the large majority of car companies today, the company has moved into another phase of their plan. Indeed, Hyundai has seen decline in its North American sales this year. But the Korean automaker still has reason to smile, as it has coped with the market downturn better than almost all of its competitors.
Perhaps against good sense, Hyundai has elected to move forward in a big way with its luxury vehicles. Cars like the Hyundai Genesis will be pushed heavily in the next months as Hyundai looks to expand its profile in the luxury and “near-luxury” fields, offering consumers a change from the norm.
Along with the luxury promotions strategy, Hyundai is gearing up for a big hybrid push. The strategy is said to be very ambitious and includes a plan to differentiate between the Hyundai and Kia brands, offering owners more choice and selection.
Hyundai still has big goals for sales targets in North America and hopes to meet them, but this change in strategy may put the company at some risk. That’s not to say that the risk isn’t worth it. If Hyundai can move vehicles like the Genesis at a considerable rate and if customers response to the marketing of the hybrids, the company could do quite well.
