What Hyundai Egypt does

Hyundai Egypt, legally Hyundai Motor Egypt, is the exclusive authorized distributor of Hyundai Motor Group vehicles in Egypt, operating under a long-standing partnership with GB Auto (Ghabbour Group / غبور أوتو) that began in the early 1990s. The company's product portfolio spans sedans (Elantra, Accent), SUVs (Tucson, Santa Fe), the IONIQ electric vehicle family (IONIQ 5, IONIQ 5 FL, IONIQ 5 N, IONIQ 6, IONIQ 9), the STARIA MPV, and i30 hatchback/fastback/station wagon variants. Select models such as the Elantra AD FL 2025 are locally assembled at the GB Auto plant, combining Korean vehicle platforms with Egyptian manufacturing.

The business sells new vehicles through an authorized dealership network with showrooms across Alexandria, Cairo, Giza, Port Said, Suez, Sharm El Sheikh, Tanta, Suhag, and Assuit, complemented by service centers, spare parts outlets, and online service appointment booking plus online maintenance payment via the Hyundai app. Revenue is generated through one-time vehicle sales, aftermarket maintenance and warranty services (subscription-style multi-year contracts), and spare parts retail; promotional activity includes seasonal offers such as 50% spare parts discounts during Ramadan. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed.

Hyundai has held the position of best-selling automotive brand in Egypt for 14 consecutive years, supported by an industry-leading 5-year/100,000 KM standard warranty (extendable by 2 years/50,000 KM), interest-free 6-month maintenance installment plans, celebrity-led advertising campaigns, and a Hyundai Merghem dealership recognized as Dealer of the Year 2024. The ultimate parent is Hyundai Motor Group (Korea), with GB Auto serving as the strategic local operating partner.
