HYUNDAI STELLAR Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 20 HYUNDAI STELLARs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 28 in 2014 Q3 — only 71% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 8 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. In all, the HYUNDAI STELLAR is rarer than 75% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.

It succeeded the Ford Cortina, which Hyundai had built under license. The Stellar was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro using a rear-wheel drive chassis from the Cortina Mark V.
