Auto Solutions, the Bermuda distributor for Hyundai Motor Company, has been recognised at the brand’s annual convention for achieving the highest sales growth in its category across Central and South America.

The award was presented at Hyundai’s Annual Convention in Panama last month, where regional distributors gathered to review performance and strategy. Auto Solutions stood out among markets with annual volumes of up to 20,000 units after posting a sharp increase in sales between 2024 and 2025.

According to Hyundai, the Bermudian-based dealer recorded a 42 per cent rise in sales over the period, placing it at the top of its peer group.

Gerardo Carmona, vice-president of Hyundai Motor Central and South America, said the recognition reflected the distributor’s ability to outperform despite regional challenges.

“The last few years have presented new challenges in our region,” he said. “We had the opportunity to celebrate our partners who not only overcame the obstacles, but far surpassed previous achievements, as was the case with Auto Solutions, in Bermuda.”

Auto Solutions has represented Hyundai in Bermuda since 2013 and is one of the island’s largest car dealerships.

Glen Smith, managing director of Auto Solutions, said the award marked a strong year for the company and the wider local market.

“The year 2025 was full of achievements for all of us in Bermuda, with Auto Solutions growing by more than 30 per cent in one year as a brand,” he said.

The recognition comes as Bermuda’s motor vehicle market navigates supply chain pressures and shifting consumer demand, Mr Carmona stated.

Auto Solutions also represents several other global brands, including Suzuki, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and RBW.
