Apparently people in the UK pronounce Hyundai as “High un Dye”, and Hyundai wants to fix this. So it created this ad spot featuring the extremely popular Hyundai ioniq 5 electric car to teach people the right way to pronounce it.
The ad features numerous fake places that are named like the wrong way of pronouncing Hyundai in the UK – High n Dye hair salon, Highland Eye optical shop, Hawaiian Tie, and High End Pie bakery.
So how do you pronounce Hyundai? The correct way is revealed at the 20 second mark – it’s Hyun-day with the dai pronounced like day, and the Hyun more like the ‘un’-like pronuncation in spoon rather than sun.

Just like Proton, people pronounce it at Pro-Ton. But actually the correct way to pronounce it is “Pelo-Tong”
lolololol underrated comment right here
Perodua?
Many pronounce it as Po-Dua
Pls don’t say it as Poo….
UK people has special slang, Kajang pronounced like “Ke-Jan”; Duck pronounced like “Dook”, etc.
Then spell it how its supposed to be pronounced la. Since they using roman letters already. Hoonday or something. So misleading.
It’s call marketing…
Noted, but I’ll stick to Malaysian pronunciation of Hun-Dai. Same goes to Pee-Jot (Peugeot).
I always though the -dai was pronounced “die” like in “daiso”, “daisuke” and other Japanese words. Hyun-Day sounds weird.
Hyundai is Korean, not Japanese
I can say “Hyun” “Dey”
Who cares?
