Even if it was released in other countries, the price wouldn’t be nearly as good. The EU, for instance, slaps a 35% tariff on all Chinese cars, so it’d be easily over $20k, not even including transport costs.

Which kind of makes it very interesting why the car only went for sale in China, and not in Korea.
