  • Hyundai Motor has launched a new electric vehicle subscription service in South Korea called 'Hyundai Genesis Selection'.
  • The service includes a '360-day plan' which offers discounted rates compared to the standard 30-day subscription.

Hyundai Motor is expanding its vehicle subscription offerings in South Korea with the introduction of a new electric vehicle-focused plan. The 'Hyundai Genesis Selection' service now includes a '360-day plan,' designed to provide greater value and flexibility for customers interested in subscribing to electric models.

This new 360-day option builds upon the existing framework of the Hyundai Genesis Selection, which already offers benefits such as no penalty fees for early termination and no required upfront deposits or fixed contract periods. The key advantage of the 360-day plan is its significantly reduced monthly cost compared to the standard 30-day subscription, making it a more economically attractive option for longer-term users.

The service aims to enhance the accessibility and appeal of electric vehicles by offering a flexible, cost-effective alternative to traditional ownership or short-term rentals. Customers can choose from a range of popular Hyundai electric models, including the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Kona Electric, and the performance-oriented Ioniq 5 N.

By offering a tiered subscription model, Hyundai is catering to diverse consumer needs and preferences, potentially encouraging wider adoption of electric mobility. The introduction of the 360-day plan signifies a strategic move to capture a segment of the market seeking cost savings and commitment-free access to new vehicles.
