What HYUNDAI AUTO CANADA CORP. does

Hyundai Auto Canada Corp. (HACC) is the Canadian importer and exclusive distributor of Hyundai and Genesis-branded passenger vehicles, wholly owned by Hyundai Motor America (itself a subsidiary of South Korea's Hyundai Motor Company). Headquartered in Markham, Ontario, the company operates a horizontal consumer business across all 10 Canadian provinces through a network of 200+ independent Hyundai dealerships and a parallel network of independent Genesis distributors, supplemented by digital retail touchpoints including online shopping, build-and-price tools, and a parts/accessories e-commerce storefront at parts.hyundaicanada.com.

The product portfolio spans subcompact crossovers (Venue, Kona), sedans (Elantra, Sonata), SUVs (Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade, Santa Cruz), and an extensive electrified lineup including the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, IONIQ 9, Kona Electric, Tucson and Santa Fe hybrids and plug-in hybrids, Elantra and Sonata hybrids, and the NEXO hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Layered on the hardware are Bluelink connected vehicle services (standard on all new vehicles, with remote start, climate, lock/unlock, diagnostics, and emergency support via smartphone and Apple Watch) and the Hyundai Digital Key (NFC-based, Apple Wallet/Samsung Pass, supporting up to three shared keys). ADAS features include Forward-Collision Avoidance Assist, Highway Driving Assist, Lane Keeping/Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Blind View Monitor, and Remote Smart Parking Assist.

Revenue is generated primarily through wholesale vehicle distribution to dealers and retail sale through the dealer network, with material secondary streams from Hyundai Genuine Parts and Accessories, Hyundai Financial Services and Hyundai Capital Canada (captive financing, leasing, and insurance), the Hyundai Protection Program, fleet sales under the HFN program (minimum 5 vehicles), and government/corporate fleet buyers. Pricing ranges from ~$24,973 CAD for a 2026 Venue Essential to ~$57,729+ for the IONIQ 5, with lease rates from 4.49% to 5.99% and federal/provincial EV incentives layered on eligible models. Marketing leverages title sponsorships of the NHL and PWHL, Hyundai Hope on Wheels cause marketing (over $4.1M donated across 16 Canadian pediatric oncology centers), and multi-channel digital and event activations.
