HYUNDAI GENESIS Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 43 HYUNDAI GENESISs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 49 in 2017 Q2 — only 88% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 6 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (3.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2047 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the HYUNDAI GENESIS is rarer than 67% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
