Reason for this quick delivery is that Kia/Hyundai make their own semi-conductor chips and do not rely on buying in from China.
No, they don’t. They buy their chips like everyone else. Also, most chips for car manufacturing come from Taiwan and Korea, not China.
The reason for this quick delivery is that they made cars in advance (due to it being released to market) which now got delivered. Once that initial contingent is gone, the wait time will go to the same as the Tucson, which is around 6-10 months now.
