The TagAZ C100 Vega was loud speaker of the TagAZ of the newly formed South Korean developed department of the company. The South Korea department mentioned was founded after the model rights to the Korando and the Musso were bought up . While the Korando production line was relocated to Izhevsk , TagAZ took over the entire hall in the SsangYong plant for the Musso production line . The press hailed this event as a new joint venture and a great opportunity for both companies.
In April 2009, the new model was finally presented for the first time at the Avtoformula in Rostov-on-Don . Engine, suspension, doors and body panels for the vehicle to be manufactured in South Korea and as CKD - kit after Russia delivered. But the vehicle is also assembled in South Korea . The C100 Vega was initially only available with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine . On April 30th, two more engines followed with 1.4 liters and 1.8 liters displacement. The placement of the model took place in the compact and middle class to represent the Chinese import vehicles a serious competition. The top speed is 173 km / h for the 1.6-liter version. The permissible total weight is 1,680 kg. The maximum turning radius has been determined to be 5.2 meters.
Legal dispute with GM Daewoo
GM Daewoo sued TagAZ-Korea, accusing the company of infringing intellectual property rights and trade secret information . In concrete terms, GM Daewoo accuses the Taganrogski Awtomobilny Sawod of stealing the blueprints and some electronic data storage devices of the C100 project, and of having developed the C100 Vega from them. As a result, GM Daewoo is now demanding a judicial ban on the manufacture of the C100 Vega and all vehicle parts. General Motors is also demanding a judicial import ban for the C100 Vega and the dissolution of the alleged SsangYong-TagAZ joint venture. Whether the data was really stolen or not, however, is still being tried to determine in court.
Production of the C100 Vega ended in 2012. The successor was the new Tagaz C10 , a licensed model of the Chery A3 .
