engines. Hyundai engines are manufactured in Korea and China and later placed into Kia models around the world.
In China, the motors are produced in Jiangsu Province in a collaboration between Kia, Dongfeng Motor Group, and Jiangsu Yueda Group. And Autoland Gwangmyeong, once known as the Sohari Plant, is where most of Kia’s first cars, engines, and components were—and continue to be—built in South Korea.
