Hyundai cars are made all over the world, with South Korea as the main production hub and major plants in the United States, Europe, Asia, and South America.

Quick Scoop: Where Hyundai Cars Are Made

  • Home base (country of origin): South Korea – large complexes in Ulsan, Asan, and Jeonju build many of the brand’s global models and commercial vehicles.
  • United States:
    • Montgomery, Alabama – builds popular models like the Elantra, Santa Fe, Tucson and Santa Cruz for the North American market.
* Bryan County, Georgia – a newer factory focused heavily on electric vehicles and newer SUV/crossover production (production ramping up from 2024 onward).
  • Europe:
    • Nošovice, Czech Republic – produces models such as the i30, Tucson and Kona Electric mainly for European customers.
* İzmit, Turkey – builds smaller models like the i10, i20 and Bayon for Europe and nearby regions.
  • Asia (beyond Korea):
    • China – multiple plants serving primarily the Chinese domestic market.
* India – large facilities (not in the excerpt above, but part of Hyundai’s Asian network) supplying both local and export markets.

* Indonesia & Singapore – newer plants; Indonesia builds regional models like Creta, Santa Fe, Ioniq 5 and Stargazer, while Singapore focuses on Ioniq 5 for local sale and export.
  • South America:
    • Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil – builds regional models such as the HB20 and Creta for Latin America.

Key idea to remember

Hyundai is a global manufacturer: your specific car is likely assembled in South Korea, the U.S., Europe, or another regional plant depending on model and where it’s sold. You can usually confirm the exact country of assembly by checking the VIN plate on the car or in the owner’s documents (the first character of the VIN points to the manufacturing country).
