The authorities of Kazakhstan prepared a project on how to return Kia to Russia

In the report of the Ministry of Industry and Construction of Kazakhstan, an unusual thesis was discovered in 2024. The document says that in the framework of industrial cooperation between the two countries it is proposed to provide quantitative quota for Kazakhstani -production cars, (for example, KIA), which will be exempted from paying utilities in the Russian Federation.

On the website of the state institution of Kazakhstan there is a copy of the document signed by Minister Ersayna Nagaspayev. It is curious that the Ministry of Industry and Construction of a neighboring country mentions KIA, although almost all cars assembled in Kazakhstan will be competitive without utilsbor in Russia.

The interest of the Kazakhstan authorities in the partial cancellation of Utilsbor is understandable: in 2024, the volume of production of the Saryarkaavtoprom site in Kostanay decreased. But on the way, another KIA assembly plant with a capacity of 70 thousand cars per year: in October, Sorento crossovers will be produced on it, and in January 2026 the updated Sportage will join. Production capacities are built with the calculation of export to Russia.

Russian consumers return Kia through Kazakhstan will definitely be into hand, but right now, concessions from our Ministry of Industry and Trade are unlikely. The fact is that car reserves in Russia are calculated hundreds of thousands of pieces, the warehouses are full, and local car manufacturers are definitely not interested in additional competition.
