Hyundai Motor India Ltd., the pioneer in smart mobility solutions and the nation’s top exporter since its inception, celebrated a monumental moment today by delivering the all-electric SUV IONIQ 5 to Bollywood’s iconic figure, Shah Rukh Khan.
This momentous occasion not only honored the 25-year-long partnership but also marked a significant step towards the electrification of the future mobility landscape in India.
The grand ceremony highlighted Hyundai’s commitment to the future of mobility as they handed over their flagship EV SUV to the ‘King of Bollywood.’ This gesture served as a token of gratitude for Khan’s unwavering support and trust in the Hyundai brand throughout these fruitful years.
During the presentation ceremony, Mr. Unsoo Kim, MD & CEO of Hyundai Motor India Ltd., remarked, “Hyundai’s 25-year association with Shah Rukh Khan stands as one of the longest brand-ambassador partnerships in the industry. Khan’s integral role in enhancing our brand’s values and propositions cannot be understated. Presenting our flagship EV, the IONIQ 5, to Khan is a testament to its technological prowess and signifies the future of mobility in India. We express our deepest gratitude for his steadfast support, and we hope to continue this remarkable journey together for many more years.”
The IONIQ 5, unveiled earlier this year at the Auto Expo 2023, stole the spotlight, becoming a beacon for Hyundai’s journey into electrification. Surpassing all expectations, the response from customers resulted in over 1000 units sold, fulfilling the collective desire for luxurious electric cars.
What made this moment even more special was the delivery of the 1100th unit to Shah Rukh Khan, making it the first-ever EV in his prestigious car collection. It wasn’t just a vehicle; it was a symbol of sustainable mobility fused with opulent comfort.
Expressing his gratitude, Shah Rukh Khan stated, “Receiving the Hyundai IONIQ 5, an all-electric SUV, is an honor. It marks my first-ever EV, and I am delighted it comes from Hyundai. The year 2023 has been monumental for both Hyundai and myself. The overwhelming love from the people of India has been our driving force in the industry. The IONIQ 5’s distinctive design and outstanding features are truly remarkable. Surpassing expectations with over 1000 units sold this year alone, this Hyundai marvel has been truly exceptional. Being a part of the Hyundai Motor India family for 25 years has been immensely fulfilling, filled with milestones and cherished moments. Hyundai isn’t just a brand; it’s family to me, and I am delighted to be associated with one of India’s most trusted and beloved car brands.”
