Car Delivery from Korea to Yekaterinburg

Yekaterinburg is the industrial and business capital of the Urals and Russia's fourth-largest car market. The city sits right on the border between the European and Asian parts of Russia, and the rail leg from Vladivostok is noticeably shorter than the one to Moscow — which makes the route predictable on timing. Demand for Korean brands here is steady: the Hyundai Palisade, Kia Sorento and Genesis GV80 are among the best sellers.
