Hyundai history and evolution
The Hyundai Motor Company was founded in South Korea in 1967 and produced their first car, the Hyundai Cortina, in partnership with Ford in 1969. Their next vehicle, the 1975 Hyundai Pony, was the first truly Korean-made car, effectively launching the Korean automotive industry. Hyundai entered the Canadian market in 1984 with the Hyundai Pony II, finding big success with their low-priced hatchback. Through the '80s and '90s, Hyundai continued to grow their global presence and gained popularity for their economy cars, but also earned a reputation for less-than-stellar reliability. Over the last 20 years, the brand has worked hard to reform that image, investing in better engineering and design and expanding their lineup. Today's Hyundai holds its own against more established car brands and has grown into one of the largest car companies in the world.
