SEOUL, Oct. 24 (Korea Bizwire) — Hyundai Motor Co. on Tuesday began selling refurbished used cars produced by the company and its luxury brand Genesis, with a goal of selling 5,000 certified secondhand models within the year.
The company launched its “Hyundai Certified” and “Genesis Certified” initiatives under which customers can purchase secondhand models that have gone through various tests and improvements at the company’s two commercialization centers in Yangsan, 301 kilometers southeast of Seoul, and Yongin, south of the capital.
Vehicles subject for sale are those with a lifespan of under five years and a travel record of under 100,000 kilometers. Purchases are only available online via the company’s mobile app or website.
