For millions of people, a personal vehicle isn't just a means of getting from one place to another, but a reliable place to retreat when a moment of calm is needed, and Hyundai's Spa in a Car activation recognizes this reality. According to its own research, Hyundai found that 55% of Brits say that the car one of the only places they can really switch off, and with one in four people getting less than 10 minutes a day to themselves, 82% admit to staying parked just for a few extra moments of peace.
For one day only, Hyundai's Spa in a Car pop-up will invite stressed-out Londoners into the IONIQ 9 for a free 20-minute treatment from a Korean beauty therapist, focusing on areas of tension in the head, neck and shoulders.
