- Hyundai-Kia group is by far the Korean group with the largest presence in China, both in terms of production and sales.
Samsung models from the Renault-Nissan group, produced in Korea, are indeed sold in small quantities under the French brand Renault. On its side, Ssangyong exports only small numbers of vehicles from Korea.

- Hyundai is the third brand produced and sold in China, behind Volkswagen and GM-Wuling. It produces locally  its model under a Joint-Venture with  “Beijing Automotive”. The graphs representing the production of Hyundai in China highlight that the first Korean brand has benefited from the temporary disaffection of Japanese brands in this market between August 2012 and August 2013.

- Hyundai growth has stopped in September 2013 (zero growth compared to September 2012).
It had already slowed down in the previous months at a time when Japanese brands began to reach their 2011 level.

- The same observation can be made about the Kia brand, second Korean brand and twelfth brand produced and sold in China. Its growth was reduced between July and September 2013 and September growth was almost zero (compared to September 2012). Kia produces locally in China under a Joint-Venture with Dongfeng.
