PricewaterhouseCoopers and Automotive News
Recognize Highest Total Value Return Over Last Three Years

(Fountain Valley, Calif.) Jan. 18, 2006 - Hyundai Motor Company was named the PricewaterhouseCoopers and Automotive News 2005 Global Automotive Shareholder Value Award winner, underscoring Hyundai's emergence as a top-tier global automaker.
Presented at the 30th Automotive News World Congress in Dearborn, Mich., the award recognizes automotive manufacturers, suppliers and retail distributors with the top shareholder return.

According to the PricewaterhouseCoopers Shareholder Value Index (SVI), Hyundai has posted shareholder returns of 80 percent and 329 percent over the past one- and three-year periods, respectively. The SVI is accepted as the standard measure of relative shareholder value in the automotive industry. Hyundai also received this recognition in 2003.

Developed seven years ago by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Shareholder Value Index (SVI) reflects the growing importance of shareholder value for publicly traded automotive companies. It looks at the value of $100 invested in a stock over one- and three-year periods, and compares relative returns generated by different companies and industry segments. The result is an objective and reliable measure of shareholder value for stock market-listed automotive companies. This year, Hyundai Motor Co. was among four companies awarded the Shareholder Value Award.
