Premier Automotive Opens Victory Hyundai of Lee’s Summit

LEE’S SUMMIT, MO | September 22, 2026 — Premier Automotive today opened Victory Hyundai of Lee’s Summit at 1231 NW Ward Rd., a new Hyundai dealership built from the ground up on a franchise newly awarded by Hyundai Motor America.

The dealership is a partnership between Hyundai Motor America, Premier Automotive founder and president Troy Duhon, and General Manager and partner Austin Dureé. It is Premier’s 3^rd Hyundai store and its 9^th rooftop in the Kansas City market, joining sister store Victory Hyundai at the Legends.

A Trusted Hyundai Partner

“Victory Automotive Group has been an outstanding Hyundai partner, and their success has been built on a simple philosophy; take care of customers, invest in employees, and stay connected to the community,” said Randy Parker, president and CEO, Hyundai Motor North America. “Over the years, we’ve watched Victory grow while staying true to those values. The opening of Victory Hyundai of Lee’s Summit is an exciting milestone for the organization and a reflection of its commitment to serving customers throughout the Kansas City region.”

Local Leadership With a Stake in the Community

Dureé brings 20 years in the automotive industry to the new store, including 3 with Premier Automotive, most recently as Managing Partner of Victory Hyundai at the Legends. As a partner in the dealership, he holds an ownership stake in the business he runs, which is a model Premier uses to keep leadership invested in the long-term health of each store and the community it serves.

“Opening Victory Hyundai of Lee’s Summit means more to me than simply opening another dealership,” says Dureé. “I was born and raised in the Kansas City area, and this community helped shape who I am today. To have the opportunity to invest back into the place I’ve always called home—to create jobs, serve local families, and build something that can make a lasting impact—is incredibly meaningful to me. I’m grateful for the opportunity, proud of what our team has built, and excited to show Lee’s Summit what Victory Hyundai is all about.”

What to Expect at the New Dealership

Victory Hyundai Lee’s Summit will offer the full Hyundai lineup, including Tucson, Santa Fe, and Palisade, alongside certified pre-owned inventory, a full-service department, and a parts center. The store opens with 30 employees and expects to add 60-70 more positions over the next year.
