A common question
Genesis assembled its best-selling GV70 in Montgomery, Alabama starting in 2022. In 2026, Hyundai Motor Group moved that production back to its Ulsan complex in South Korea to free up Alabama capacity for rapidly growing Hyundai demand. Genesis has said the shift is not the end of its US manufacturing. As part of Hyundai Motor Group’s 26 billion dollar US investment, the company has stated that American production will return.
