The majority of Hyundai vehicles are built in Ulsan, South Korea, but the steel used to build Hyundais is mined in Australia. So, in a way, Hyundais have manufacturing roots right in Australia.
Hyundai has 17 plants worldwide, several of which are domestic plants in the brand’s native South Korea. Most of the Hyundais driven in Australia come directly from South Korea. Hyundai is a favorite among Aussies, growing into one of the most popular car makes on the continent thanks to the top-selling Hyundai i30.
