The launch of the locally-assembled STARIA represents tangible proof of Hyundai’s unwavering commitment to the Malaysian market, fulfilling its “Here to Stay” promise. The STARIA is being assembled alongside partner Inokom, a subsidiary of Sime Motors, at its facility in Kulim, Kedah.
Mr. Eric Lee, President of Hyundai Motor Malaysia, emphasized the significance of this achievement: “The commencement of local production for the Hyundai STARIA is more than just a production achievement. It represents Hyundai’s confidence in Malaysia as an important market and a growing hub for future assembly”.
