change of names

As I understand from recent press releases, Hyundai Motor Group has now changed name to Hyundai Kia Automotive Group. I suggest this page should be moved to that location. --Boivie 12:51, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Looks like we need to merge the Hyundai Motor Company article with this one. Strawberry Island 03:29, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I doubt it. Hyundai Motor Company is only one of the companies forming Hyundai Kia Automotive Group. But I however think some of the info in this article should be moved to the Hyundai Motor Company article. --Boivie 16:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Removed inaccurate info

I removed the following opening sentence of this entry as it is not true.

"Hyundai Kia Automotive Group was formed through the merging of South Korea's largest car company, Hyundai Motor Company, and the nation's 2nd largest car company, Kia Motors, in 1998 and is the world's 5th largest car company as of 2006." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.193.178.54 (talk) 18:02, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

The image File:Hyundai logo.svg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
  • That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

DHI?

Can somebody tell me why the Daewoo Heavy Industries link goes forward to this page??? Daewooarca (talk) 20:35, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Just a guess; I didn't take the time to do enough googling to confirm this idea: Did DHI get broken up and sold when the Daewoo chaebol crashed? If so, its assets may well have been bought by Hyundai-Kia. If that is what happened, it might explain why someone redirected DHI to here. DHI could be turned into its own article (not just a redirect) if anyone cared to research the content for it. — ¾-10 00:29, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Cursory googling turned up this ("Daewoo Heavy Industries has made a fresh start as Doosan Infracore." [July 2005]). HTH. — ¾-10

Possible improvements?

1. Is it necessary to include so many photos of vehicles produced by Hyundai and Kia? Shouldn't they belong better to the article of individual vehicles? It makes the article look very cluttered.

2. Are all those external links necessary? This is supposedly an article in an encyclopedia, not an internet portal !!--North wiki (talk) 18:45, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

What is Hyundai Kia Automotive Group?

A quick google search of 'Hyundai Kia Automotive Group' or 'Hyundai Motor Group' does not return many hits, it seems the terms are rarely used in mass media. Furthermore, the Financial statements of Hyundai Motors indicates that Kia is a subsidiary of Hyundai and consolidated in the account.(Hyundai Motor 2009 annual report) Furthermore, the web site of Hyundai Motor (Hyundai Company Overview) has no reference to the term 'Hyundai Kia Automotive Group', it begs to ask does Hyundai itself use the term 'Hyundai Kia Automotive Group'? --North wiki (talk) 20:32, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Criticism

An apology or finger pointing for the white-guy suicide ad is not good enough. Someone should serve some ammount of prison time. Or we should dump all these cars the the ocean port. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.209.222.174 (talk) 01:40, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

third largest -- really?

  • Article intro: "It is the third largest South Korean chaebol or conglomerate after Samsung Group and LG Group."
    → LG > Hyundai
  • LG Corp: "It is the fourth-largest company of its kind in South Korea, following Samsung Group, Hyundai Motors Group and SK Group."
    → LG < Hyundai

This just doesn't add up. —mnh·· 22:16, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Cleanup

I have added cleanup template, as the scope of the article is very unclear. We already have article about legal entity Hyundai Motor Company, covering also its subsidiaries. We have article about conglomerate Hyundai and its affiliates. So what is this article about? Its content is randomly mixing some subsidiaries Hyundai Motor Company and affiliates of Hyundai. --Jklamo (talk) 12:21, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
