Hyundai has evolved into one of the industry's most endeavoring automakers, crafting engaging vehicles that deliver comfort, practicality, and cutting-edge tech with exceptional value. The new Hyundai Santa Cruz sport adventure vehicle was an unprecedented hit, combining the comfort and practicality of an SUV with the open-bed versatility and utility of a truck. And it might surprise some to learn that it was imagined and built right here in the US. Designed in California and manufactured in Alabama, the Santa Cruz is a testament to the impact of the American workforce on Hyundai's success.
But the Santa Cruz isn't the only Hyundai model made in America. In fact, with the 2022 return of the Hyundai Tucson to Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA), American-built Hyundai vehicles account for around 80% of Hyundai's US sales, with the company's best-selling models all produced at HMMA. So, depending on the Hyundai model you select for your Maryville, Farragut, or Oak Ridge Drives, there's a good chance it rolled off the line less than 300 miles away.
Hyundai products currently manufactured in Alabama in 2022 include:
- Hyundai Elantra
- Hyundai Santa Cruz
- Hyundai Santa Fe
- Hyundai Sonata
- Hyundai Tucson
- Hyundai Smartstream engines
