In the blink of an industrial eye, Hyundai Motor Company has reached a major milestone, rolling out their 100 millionth vehicle globally—a feat they achieved in just 57 years. That’s right, folks—Hyundai’s gone from the plucky Pony to today’s eco-chic IONIQ 5 in what feels like no time.
To mark this momentous occasion, Hyundai hosted a glitzy celebration at their Ulsan Plant in Korea, where it all began. The factory floor was buzzing as an IONIQ 5, the company’s first bespoke electric vehicle, became the 100 millionth car to roll off the line. Not satisfied with just stopping there, Hyundai took a symbolic step further by handing over the “100 million and first” vehicle during a special ceremony. They say it represents Hyundai’s ethos of always pushing forward—because why stop at 100 million when 200 million is just a couple of electric models away?
Hyundai’s President and CEO Jaehoon Chang was on hand to remind everyone just how quickly they’ve come up in the world. “Reaching 100 million vehicles is a milestone that could only be achieved through the trust and loyalty of our customers,” he said, giving the nod to drivers worldwide who’ve stuck by the brand since their humble Pony days. The Pony, if you recall, was Korea’s first mass-produced car, and it’s safe to say that Hyundai’s come a long way since 1975.

Chang also reflected on Hyundai’s knack for taking risks, from entering the high-performance arena with the N brand to introducing Genesis for a touch of luxury and electrifying the market with models like the IONIQ 5. But they’re not done yet. “We’re just getting started,” he hinted. Hyundai has big plans, particularly around EVs, and their Ulsan Plant is about to become even more central to this green dream as they expand their electric vehicle production.
It’s clear Hyundai’s been busy. From their growing presence in the U.S. and Czech Republic to launching cutting-edge manufacturing hubs in Singapore, the Korean automaker is poised to lead the charge into the EV future. Dong Seock Lee, Hyundai’s Domestic Productions chief, echoed this sentiment: “This is only the first step toward the electrification era that Hyundai will lead.”
As the world shifts to electric, Hyundai’s daring, innovative spirit has positioned them as a formidable player in the race for mobility dominance. If 100 million cars was their warm-up lap, buckle up—there’s a lot more to come.
And here’s the best bit: they’ve kept their sense of fun. Whether it’s the cheeky IONIQ 5 or a nostalgic glance at the Pony, Hyundai’s showing the world that automotive milestones can be celebrated with style and a dash of personality.
