  "account": "Hyundai Motor has achieved a global brand value of $25.0 billion, placing it at 29th in the world, according to Interbrand's latest ranking. This marks Hyundai's first appearance in the top 20, a significant milestone in the company's history.

Interbrand's assessment of Hyundai's brand value is bolstered by the company's strong performance in future mobility fields such as robotics and electrification. Analysts attribute Hyundai's rise in brand value to its solid foundation in key markets like the United States and Europe, as well as its technological credibility.

Hyundai Motor President and CEO Jose Munoz credited the achievement to the combined efforts of customers, employees, and dealer partners.",
