Hyundai increased its 2021 year-end dividend at KRW 4,000 per common share, up KRW 1,000 from 2020, reflecting its results improvement.

The company will continue to make efforts to secure its growth momentum, although there will be several uncertainties in the global automotive markets this year.

Hyundai will strengthen its EV lineup by launching GV60, Electrified GV70, and IONIQ 6 in line with increasing consumer preferences for eco-friendly models, expansion of investment in eco- infrastructure, and strict environmental regulations around the globe.

The company will focus on enhancing its product mix with SUV and luxury models and securing profitability based on cost innovation to become a leader in the future mobility industry despite the challenging business environment.
