A HYUNDAI showroom in Salisbury is set to open to the public next week following a relocation.

The former Land Rover showroom in the Old Sarum Business Park has been comprehensively upgraded to create a larger home for Hyundai in the Salisbury area.

Hendy Group, which represents 23 manufacturers across 68 sites along the south coast of England, says the new site will provide customers in the city and surrounding area with a wider choice of new and used cars, as well as access to a state-of-the-art workshop for service and MOT.

The company says that growing interest in Hyundai models in the region has prompted a £400,000 joint investment from Hendy Group and Hyundai UK, which will see the transformed dealership open to the public from next Monday (April 28).

The eight-car indoor showroom will display electric, hybrid and petrol Hyundai models, including Hyundai’s first electric performance model, the IONIQ 5 N, and the brand’s popular plug-in hybrid SUV, the Santa Fe.

Paul Hendy, CEO at Hendy Group, said: “We’ve had a successful relationship with Hyundai in Salisbury for many years, and all our Hendy colleagues from the previous site will be transferred to the new one.

“This investment underlines our commitment to the brand as well as to current and prospective customers.

“The strong Hyundai product offering resonates with Hendy customers, and we’re confident this new site will attract new customers to the brand and improve the experience for existing ones.

“Two on-site electric vehicle chargers and a large parking area will make it much more convenient for customers to drop in for a browse or drop off for an aftersales booking.

“We look forward to welcoming new and familiar faces through the doors and further building our presence within the local area.”

The site will undergo further refurbishment in the coming months to enhance its aftersales offering.

An existing eight-bay workshop will be expanded to accommodate greater volumes of service, maintenance and MOT bookings.
