Hyundai has changed its mind about “mastering” the former Russian GM factory

In November 2020, the Korean brand bought a frozen GM plant, which previously produced Chevrolet and Opel cars using the full cycle method. It was believed that production of various Hyundai, Kia and Genesis models, previously established at Avtotor Kaliningrad, would be transferred here. But now the situation has changed.

The Hyundai group has indefinitely suspended the reconstruction project of the former General Motors factory, Delovoy Petersburg reports, citing its own sources. In the spring, it was planned to start rebuilding existing workshops and construction of new buildings, but the work did not start.

There is a reasonable assumption that Hyundai’s global office could completely rethink the concept of this project and discontinue production of expensive cars. And then the capabilities of the main site, where Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio are made, will be enough.

Although the main bestseller of the Russian market in the coming months (or even years) will be the simplified LADA Granta Classic. According to experts from the AvtoVzglyad portal, the new equipment will make it possible to turn a really popular car into the cheapest on the Russian market.
