After breaking ground on the site in October 2022, Hyundai Motor Group’s Metaplant America (HMGMA) in Bryan County, GA, is now open.

Hyundai completed construction in just under two years, fast-tracking production as it looks to gain an edge with US-made electric models.

“After validating its production processes to ensure its vehicles meet Hyundai Motor Group’s high standards, (the Savannah plant) has started initial production of customer vehicles ahead of schedule,” a statement from Hyundai on Friday read (via The Atlanta Journal-Constitution).

The new facility is a significant milestone for Hyundai and Georgia as the largest economic development project in state history.

Hyundai initially invested $5 billion into the facility, which later grew to a whopping $7.6 billion. Just last week, the plant added its 18th supplier as Hyundai builds an extensive US network. Hyundai alone is creating an additional 8,500 jobs in the area.

I like Hyundai as a brand, and generally like the way they look, but I think these will look old very quickly.

I'm waiting for the 2025 model (with a rear wiper) to hit the used market, in case my 2019 Kona needs to be replaced at some point. Though I will miss the turning lights.
