The Chinese brand that once assembled cars in Russia was liquidated

The Auto Mail portal found that LLC Haotai Auto-Rus launched the liquidation process of a Russian legal entity, under which Hawtai cars were sold. The relevant information appeared in an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. The official Hawtai website does not work, and cars of this brand have not been sold in our country since 2020. Until 2018, Hawtai crossovers were produced in Russia.

Hawtai agreed with the DerWays factory in Karachay-Cherkessia in 2015. Then, in the region, they began to release the crossovers of Hawtai Boliger based on the old Hyundai Santa Fe. However, the model did not become popular. B21 sedans also failed on the sale of Hyundai Sonata NF. Although since 2020, the HawTai brand has not been represented in Russia, the legal entity was eliminated only now.

In China, Hawtai was the main partner of Hyundai and even issued Licensed copies of Terracan and Santa Fe Classic all -terrain vehicles under its brand. However, in the 2020s, the project ended with bankruptcy. The peak of Glory Hawtai fell in the early 2010s: then the model range was actively expanding, and the company entered the export markets. In 2015, a partnership with KamAZ was even planned, but it did not reach real joint projects.

Now the Hawtai brand can be found only in the ratings of the “Chinese”, prone to corrosion. Fifteen to twenty years ago, cars from the Middle Kingdom quickly rusted, because the quality of metal and anti-corrosion treatment left much to be desired.
