The Kaliningrad automaker maintains secrecy surrounding its deliveries of two Kia models to the domestic market in 2023. The company’s silence leaves a lot of room for conclusions.

The Kaliningrad automaker maintains secrecy surrounding its deliveries of two Kia models to the domestic market in 2023. The company’s silence leaves a lot of room for conclusions.

Representatives of Avtotor refused to comment on the topic of the additional assembly of thousands of incomplete Kia Seltos and Soul cars previously stuck in the warehouses of the Kaliningrad car assembly plant. Let us not forget that a few days ago the media reported about the start of the process of completion of these cars (about 7,000 copies) with the missing parts and the start of the delivery of these models to Russia.

Journalists from the AvtoVzglyad portal, under the guise of buyers, at Kia dealer centers in Moscow, discovered that batches of AvtoVzglyad cars have been coming to our market for a long time. It’s just that this fact wasn’t advertised by anyone until recently. Typically, these cars are covered by the Kia brand warranty, which officially does not seem to work in our market.

Avtotor’s refusal to even talk about this topic suggests with a high degree of probability that such unadvertised commercial activities of the Korean company indicate its preparation for a return to the Russian market.
