The automaker entered 2020 with positive momentum. The Hyundai brand's U.S. sales rose 3.2 percent last year in a light-vehicle market that declined 1.2 percent. The Genesis luxury brand is gaining traction, as U.S. sales doubled to 21,233 last year, and its first crossover is due stateside this summer.
Muñoz
Muñoz is working through challenges. Not enough con- sumers know about Hyundai and Genesis and customer satisfaction lags those of peers. He's aiming to improve Hyundai facilities, and Genesis is rolling out a network of exclusive showrooms to compete with established luxury brands.
Muñoz will discuss Hyundai Motor America's progress and future at the Automotive News World Congress in March.
