"AGR Holding," which produces Russian copies of Kia Rio/X (Kia KRS/KRX), Hyundai Solaris (Solaris HS), and Hyundai Creta (Solaris HC), could not part with its Korean "roots." At the plant in Sestroretsk, cars are still being fitted with steering wheels bearing the Hyundai logo.
It is worth noting that the manufacturer Hyundai ceased production and sales of cars in the Russian market in 2022. In 2024, the domestic company AGR began producing copies of Korean cars. Previously, the Russian manufacturer reported that it uses components that are stored in warehouses.
In September 2025, more than 4,000 Solaris cars were sold in a month. For the period from January to August, the manufacturer increased its sales by 123%.
