From the article you will find out where the main brands of cars are produced. Hyundai creta, Solaris, Tucson, Santa Fe, Elantra, IX35, I40, which of them are produced at factories in Russia, and which in other countries, but for our country.
The geography of production is expanding
Long gone are the days when certain brands of cars were produced in any one country.
Earlier, Audi was produced only in Germany, Chevrolet - in the USA, Peugeot - in France and so on.
But the geography of production is expanding, new factories are being built in other countries, needs are growing and, as a result, sales are growing.
This approach allows us to saturate the market and provide everyone with cars.
Below we will dwell in more detail on Korean cars Hyundai (Hyundai), which are produced in many countries of the world (including in Russia).
General information about Hyundai Motor
Hyundai Motor Company - South Korean car manufacturer, which has a wide range of models and is widely known in the world.
The founder of the concern is Chon Chu-Yong. It was he who opened the company in 1967, which was originally only part of a large project, and in 2003 it became an individual unit.
Hyundai Motor originally focused on cars, but there was also one freight car Ford.
Over the next thirty years, the company developed and expanded the scope of production. Five years after the opening, the production of Hyundai cars started, and two years later, the Hyundai Poini model appeared.
By the 80s of the last century, the production volume reached 50 thousand cars per year. In 1998, a significant event in the history of the company took place - Kia Motros was taken over.
The name Hyundai is translated from Korean as "modernity". Actually, this word became a motto for manufacturers who tried to embody new trends and tendencies in each model.
Sales figures
Hyundai Motor owns many car assembly plants not only in South Korea, but also in other countries of the world - the United States. Turkey, Czech Republic, RF, China and others.
Finished cars are distributed to thousands of car dealerships and sold to tens of thousands of people every day.
In 2010, sales totaled nearly 1.75 million vehicles and revenues reached 32 billion.
In 2016, more than 145 thousand cars were sold (only in Russia). Generally speaking, this figure is ten times higher. Many models are assembled or assembled on the territory of the Russian Federation - Sonata, Asssent, Elantra, Santa Fe and others.
A major project was launched in 2007. It was then that they managed to conclude an agreement on the construction of the Hyundai plant in St. Petersburg.
Already in 2010, the first cars rolled off the assembly line. The plant's capacity was sufficient to produce about 200,000 cars annually.
In 2011, the plant assembled Solaris and Rio. Simultaneously with the plant in St. Petersburg, the production of component parts began, due to which, already in 2010 Hyundai sales in Russia amounted to 87 thousand cars.
Hyundai Motor entered the hybrid car market in 2004 with the Click / Gets Hybrid.
A year later, the lineup was replenished with another "hybrid" - an offshoot of the Accent model.
Already in the first four years, about 800 Click hybrid cars were produced, and by the end of 2008, government agencies received about 3.4 thousand "hybrids".
In which countries and where is Hyundai Solaris assembled, factories in Russia
Hyundai Solaris is well known to domestic motorists.
Today it is produced in South Korea, Turkey, the United States and many other countries.
With the appearance of the plant in St. Petersburg, it is assembled in Russia. Before the opening of production, all lines were checked for the fact of the quality of the finished product and the absence of defects.
As soon as all the checks were completed, the production itself started.
The peculiarity of the Hyundai Motor plant in Russia is a responsible approach to production and strict adherence to technology.
This is not surprising, since more than half a billion dollars were invested in the construction of the site.
A little earlier, the same factories were built in a number of other countries - in the United States, Turkey, Czech Republic, India and others.
The main feature of the plant in the Russian Federation is full cycle production, when the entire assembly process takes place on the territory of one country, starting with the production of spare parts and ending with the adjustment of the electronic components of the machine.
On the territory of the plant there are workshops where spare parts are manufactured, as well as welding, assembly and painting of the machine.
There is also a stamping workshop, in which special attention is paid to product quality.
An important feature of the Hyundai Motor plant in Russia is the bias towards process automation. This figure reaches 80 percent, which allows us to speak with confidence about the quality and reliability of finished cars.
Few people know, but in the two workshops of the plant (painting and welding), people do not participate in the production process at all. All the work is done by the so-called "transformers" - robotic manipulators. By the way, this technique is also manufactured at the Hyundai plant.
An obligatory stage of production is the control line, where the machine undergoes quality control. When problems are identified vehicle sent for revision.
In 2016, the production of Hyundai Solaris in Russia was temporarily suspended, but, as the company representatives assure, in March 2017 the Russians will be presented with an updated version of the second generation car, which will begin to be assembled at the same plant from January of this year.
In which countries and where is Hyundai Greta (Kreta) assembled, factories in Russia
The next model worthy of attention is the Hyundai Creta. Previously, cars were produced only for the Asian market, and production was established in India (the city of Chennai).
Already the first year of sales has shown the success of the new model. Even before the start of the issue, the number of applications exceeded 70 thousand. In addition to Asia, Hyundai Creta is sold in South American and African countries.
Interestingly, the Indian plant was designed to produce no more than 7 thousand cars per month.
Due to such restrictions, customers had to stand in lines for a long time, and the waiting time sometimes reached 6-8 months or more.
It is not surprising that the issue of capacity expansion was given key attention. Already in the first year of production, it was announced about the future increase in the limit to 10 thousand cars per month.
As for the Russian market, the Hyundai Creta appeared here later. Production has been established at the already mentioned plant in St. Petersburg. The first line was launched in August 2016.
From the conveyor, the cars go to the dealer network and are sold. The main difficulties are associated with the need to reconfigure the equipment for the new model, because earlier at the plant on this line another model was produced - Solaris.
But now Solaris production has been moved to a different, more advanced line (see above).
On average, the St. Petersburg plant plans to produce 4-5 thousand cars per month. The total volume of Hyundai Kreta cars, which should come off the assembly line, is 200 thousand units.
This is enough to cover the needs of not only Russia, but also neighboring countries.
It should be noted that Russian version Hyundai Creta has a number of differences. The main feature is the adaptation of the machine to Russian roads... This means that the ground clearance has been increased, a stiffer suspension has been installed.
There are limitations in the choice of motors. Two engines are available for the Russian market - 1.6 and 2.0 liters. In this case, you can choose four-wheel drive or front-wheel drive.
Read here detailed review.
In which countries and where is Hyundai Tussan assembled, factories in Russia
In recent years, crossovers have gained unprecedented popularity. They are roomy, have good cross-country ability, have a solid appearance and are very economical.
No wonder why each of the manufacturers wanted to snatch a piece of their pie. The Hyundai company, which presented the market with a completely successful one, was no exception.
The car is developed on the basis of the famous ix35, released back in 2008. At the same time, the manufacturers did not hide the fact that new crossover- just an enlarged version of a passenger car.
Hyundai Tussan's ground clearance is 18 cm, which is quite enough for our roads.
The assembly issue deserves special attention. Today, the production of the model has been established in several countries - the Czech Republic, Turkey and South Korea.
There are large factories for the production of Hyundai cars in the United States, China and Mexico. By the way, some of the listed countries are no longer engaged in the production of the Hyundai model, but the factories still exist.
Crossovers come to Russia from a factory built in the Czech Republic. At the same time, the build quality of a car does not at all depend on the geography of production.
At each of the sites, strict quality control is carried out, which excludes the presence of defects.
In which countries and where is Hyundai Santa Fe assembled, factories in Russia
It is not always clear where the cars are assembled, because the last model update was seven years ago (in 2010). By the way, from that moment on, no significant changes were made - only the appearance was corrected.
For some period Elantra was going to Russia and Europe on the territory of the Czech Republic (in the city of Nosovitsa).
Also, the car was produced in St. Petersburg. In 2009, the assembly of the "South Korean" was set up in Ukraine, at the Bogdan plant. At the same time, South Korea (Ulsan) remains the main supplier.
It is from there that the car is sent to many countries, including Russia. By the way, in the period from 2000-2007 Elantra was produced in Taganrog ("Tagaz").
In addition to those already listed above, Elantra factories are located in Turkey, Czech Republic, China, Brazil and India. But, the main supplier for Russia (with rare exceptions) is South Korea.
In which countries and where is Hyundai IX35 assembled, factories in Russia
Hyundai IX35 is considered one of the most popular crossovers in Russia. For the first time, car sales started in 2009, and the first deliveries began a year later.
- L - Slovakia (Zilina);
- J - Czech Republic (Nošovice);
- U - Korea (Ul-San).
The owners of Korean-assembled cars claim that the plastic in the car is softer.
As for the Hyundai IX35 from Slovakia, many complain about a large number of defects in the body part.
In which countries and where is the Hyundai I40 assembled, factories in Russia
Hyundai I40 car is a striking representative of the D-class. In fact, this is a "purebred" Korean, which was released in 2011, and today is considered one of the best sellers (when compared with other models of the manufacturer).
By the way, the car appeared in the sedan body only a year later. Unlike many other models, the Hyundai I40 is only assembled in South Korea, in the city of Ulsan.
Outcomes
Thus, the production of Hyundai cars has been established in several dozen countries.
If we talk about Russia and the production of Hyundai for this country, the following points stand out here:
- South Korea, Ulsan. The largest plant, which produces 70 percent of all Hyundai cars sent for export.
- The Taganrog plant (TAGAZ) assembled some Hyundai models until 2010.
- In 2008, the construction of its own car plant in St. Petersburg began, which began producing cars already in 2010. The plant is still in operation today. It is located in the Kamenka area.
- Turkey. It is also home to a large Hyundai manufacturing plant. It has been working since 1998 to the present day.
In addition to the countries listed above, Hyundai is going to China, USA, Czech Republic, Brazil and others. But cars from these countries are delivered to Russia less and less often or not at all.
"He appeared - did not get dusty" - this Russian proverb fits perfectly to the latest generation of the Korean mid-size sedan Sonata, which is now sold in the Russian Federation. The famous model of the Hyundai brand returned to Russia almost five years after its departure, and in the seventh generation (LF) of the sample already in 2014, and even after restyling. Needless to say, the seventh "Sonata", if you do not mislead at all, cannot be called a novelty. For the time being, it is supplied to the Russian market directly from South Korea, which, perhaps, had a good effect on the build quality, but had a bad effect on adaptation to the harsh road realities of Russia. Read all the details about this "new" Hyundai in our review!
Design
In terms of appearance, the Korean Sonata with the LF index is the same as the overseas. It looks very impressive - thanks to Chris Chapman of the California Hyundai Design Center. Whether Mr. Chapman will be able to go down in the history of the global auto industry, like Chris Bangle, who was involved in the appearance of BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce, is anyone's guess, but one thing is certain about him: he managed to bring a certain amount of avant-gardism into the image of the Sonata. What are the sill moldings alone, stretched up to the head optics between the fenders and the hood. And what does an ordinary car enthusiast who only dreams of a "new" Sonata say about the huge corporate emblem on the radiator grille or the fashionable touch panel for opening the trunk, located at the top of the Hyundai logo again? Yeah, Chapman is great!
Design
The foundation of the Sonata LF is the YF chassis inherited from its predecessor and subjected to a number of improvements. The changes affected both the settings of the springs and shock absorbers, and the geometry of the suspensions. During the modernization, the rear multi-link suspension acquired extended and reinforced lower levers (the thickness of the steel sheet increased from 2.9 to 3.5 millimeters), which better distribute lateral forces and allow more precise kinematics adjustment. In addition, it became tougher steering column, and to improve the accuracy of the car's reaction to the steering wheel turn, the EUR was equipped with a more high-performance processor. The steering program can be changed using the Drive Mode Select button.
Adaptation to Russian conditions
Despite the fact that the seventh "Sonata" is assembled not in the Russian Federation, but in South Korea, its price is significantly lower compared to many competitors Russian assembly... However, the savings in in this case is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, everything seems to be fine, the car is nice and roomy, the sound insulation is modified, and the manufacturer even allows pouring inexpensive 92nd gasoline into the fuel tank, which is very important in our reality. But on the other hand, the model is not specially adapted for Russia, and its suspension settings are not the most suitable for bad roads.
Comfort
There are no serious complaints about the Sonata LF salon. By the standards of the class, it is spacious - there is enough space for people of any size, both in front and in the back, where the floor is almost even. The driver's comfort is ensured by the electric seat adjustment and the ability of the steering column to adjust for height and reach. Adjusting the driver's seat "for yourself" will not be difficult, especially since its configuration does not need a special fit. The driver's seat itself is quite comfortable - it is moderately stiff, with developed lateral support and a fairly comfortable headrest. If we forget about the textile, overly synthetic to the touch, seat upholstery in the basic version (although it is much more practical than leather heated in the sun), then everything inside the sedan is done conscientiously and with attention to detail. Only the one who, for whatever reason, needs to find fault with something, will be able to determine by the type of plastic whether it is hard or soft - praise for a well-chosen texture. The combination of different types of plastic is basically the same - however, there is still more "tin" in the door panels.
Great attention is paid to ergonomics. Hyundai decided not to reinvent the wheel and use classic solutions. The result is as follows: almost all large keys are placed in 2 rows on the center console, for the sake of normal human logic. Turning on the steering wheel heating, which is adored in our country, is very convenient, as well as displaying the navigation map on the touchscreen of the media system. The instrument panel in Sonata is strictly traditional, analog, but with a digital appendage between the "wells" of the speedometer and tachometer, as well as backlit bluish shade, beloved by Asian manufacturers. There are no complaints about its readability and information content. Remembering the rivals of the "Korean", one cannot get rid of the thought that his interior looks simpler than that of Kia Optima or Mazda6. Although in this regard it is not inferior to the same Ford mondeo or Volkswagen passat... His trunk is by no means ideal: despite the impressive volume of 510 liters, he is not at all happy with the quality of the finish and the height of the doorway. V luggage compartment a full-size spare wheel is stored on cast disc(v basic configuration- on steel), and next to it is bare metal. Not solid somehow, but by the way - "for an amateur".
As a result of the last generation change, the share of extra high strength steels in the body has increased from 21 to 51%. In addition, the share of hot-formed steels, the number of additional reinforcements, the length (up to 119 m) and the number of adhesive joints increased, while the torsional and bending stiffness of the body increased by 41 and 30%, respectively. The standard "safe" equipment of the Sonata LF is far from poor: it includes front and side airbags, "curtains", Isofix mounts for child car seats, panic button "Era-Glonass", as well as stabilization systems with 2-stage shutdown (ESC) and stabilization control (VSM), hill start assistant (HAC) and anti-lock braking brake system(ABS). For a surcharge, parking sensors, light and rain sensors, a rear-view camera, cruise control with buttons on the steering wheel, blind spot monitoring and an electric parking brake are offered.
In the very affordable performance the car is equipped with a conventional radio tape recorder with MP3 support, 6 speakers, buttons on the steering wheel, wireless Bluetooth protocol and AUX / USB connectors for connecting gadgets. In the more expensive version, the radio tape recorder is supplemented by a modest five-inch display and rear video review. The more expensive trim levels include a full-fledged multimedia complex with an eight-inch touchscreen and Navitel navigation (alas, without displaying traffic jams), capable of connecting to Apple and Android. Fortunately, support for Apple CarPlay technologies and Android Auto provided, like any other self-respecting modern sedan. The media system works, fortunately for Hyundai fans, without much complaints.
Hyundai Sonata Specifications
The engine range of the seventh "Sonata" is represented by two gasoline atmospheric engines, unpretentious in terms of fuel quality. The first engine - Nu 2.0 MPI - received a lightweight aluminum block and cylinder head, a low-noise timing chain, a continuously variable valve timing system at the inlet / outlet, a plastic intake manifold with variable geometry and distributed injection technology.

New model overview
The interior of the new Sonata
The previous model, the Hyundai i40, was not very popular. Sales were low. The creators did a good job on the new model - the changes affected all aspects of the sedan's design. Outwardly, the car looks more solid and aggressive.
The 2019 sedan is larger in size compared to the previous version. The modular platform has been revamped and rigid. The developers promise that thanks to this innovation the car will become more comfortable and "whipped" - the level of vibrations in the cabin will decrease.
Exterior
The radiator grill has a compact size, it has a rhombus shape, which looks unusual. The mesh is chrome, the edges are also chrome. Incline windshield pretty strong. Barely noticeable embossed stripes are visible on the hood. All optics in the 2019 Hyundai Sonata are made in narrow triangular shapes. For the premium version, LED headlights are installed.
This design gives the Sonata a special charm and a little aggressive look. The dimensions of the bumper are small - but aerodynamic body kit has an interesting athletic form. Air intakes are located on the sides and bottom. The ones on the side are fitted with fog lights unusual look.
The door handles are equipped with a keyless entry system. Side mirrors fold on the machine when the engine is turned off.
The wheels are standard - but they look expensive. Once again, we will repeat the look of the new body of the Hyundai Sonata 2019 - solid and restrained. A significant disadvantage is the small size of the clearance. When driving on uneven roads, especially on Russian roads due to the small ground clearance may have problems.
There is a small lip at the top of the trunk that looks like a spoiler. The headlights are bright, narrow in shape. Exhaust pipes two, they are trapezoidal. To protect the bumper underneath, a plastic strip is installed. The diameter of the wheels is 16 inches.
The entire range of colors in the Hyundai Sonata 2019 is designed in monochrome colors - from pearl white to deep black. There are models in bright shades - rich red and blue, noble brass.
Interior
Despite the fact that the interior upholstery is made of leatherette, from the inside, the Hyundai Sonata 2019 looks expensive and prestigious.
In the lower part of the center console are the traditional controls, which are associated with almost all the functionality of the car. Above is the touchscreen display. The deflectors are located asymmetrically in relation to each other.
The steering wheel is massive, rather thick - but at the same time it is comfortable in the girth and does not slip in the hands. It has control buttons. The dashboard has standard dial gauges. A trip computer is installed between them. The number of airbags is 9 (including on the side row).
The more expensive version of the 2019 Hyundai Sonata has a virtual control display with a media system screen diameter of 12 inches.
The dual-zone climate control system means that passengers and the driver can adjust the air temperature each in their own space, independently of each other.
The ventilation can be adjusted at the front, and the sofa heating at the back. The rear windows are covered with curtains.
Technical stuffing
The creators of Hyundai Sonata 2019 offer 2 naturally aspirated 2-liter engines from the Smart Stream family.
