In this article we will look at what it is Agira as a brand, what spare parts under this brand are produced for Korean cars, how to distinguish an original from a fake and where is the most profitable place to buy components. We will pay special attention to current article numbers for popular models, such as Hyundai Solaris, Kia Rio and SsangYong Actyon, as well as the nuances of selecting analogues. If you are faced with the need for repairs or planned replacement of parts, this material will help save time and money.
Who produces Agira spare parts and how do they differ from the original?
Brand Agira owned by a South Korean company Mando Corporation - one of the largest suppliers of automotive components for conveyors Hyundai-Kia. This means that many Agira branded parts are manufactured in the same factories as the original parts, but are supplied to the aftermarket under their own brand. This scheme allows you to reduce costs without losing quality.
Main differences Agira from original spare parts:
- 🔹 Price - on average 20–40% cheaper than the original with comparable quality.
- 🔹 Warranty — official warranty from the manufacturer (usually 12–24 months).
- 🔹 Packaging — Agira boxes are often marked “Made in Korea” and have holographic stickers.
- 🔹 Articles — may differ from the original ones, but are compatible in terms of fastenings and characteristics.
It is important to understand that Agira is not a “noname”: it is certified supplier for Hyundai and Kia conveyors, which is confirmed by documentation ISO/TS 16949. However, there are fakes on the market, so it is better to buy spare parts from official distributors or trusted sellers.
⚠️ Attention! Agira parts for models Hyundai and Kia Models produced in 2020 and newer may require clarification of the article by VIN code. This is due to platform updates (for example, the transition to K2 for Solaris). Always check online catalogs before purchasing.
Which Agira spare parts are suitable for Korean cars?
The brand's product range covers more than 10,000 items for passenger and commercial vehicles. Below are the key categories of spare parts that are most often purchased by owners of Korean cars:
| Category | Examples of parts | Popular models |
|---|---|---|
| Brake system | Pads, discs, calipers, cylinders | Hyundai Creta, Kia Sportage, SsangYong Rexton |
| Suspension | Struts, shock absorbers, levers, silent blocks | Hyundai Tucson, Kia Seltos, SsangYong Actyon |
| Steering | Tie rod ends, racks, power steering pumps | Hyundai Elantra, Kia Cerato |
| Engine and transmission | Timing belts, rollers, clutch, oil seals | Hyundai Accent, Kia Picanto |
| Electrics | Sensors, starters, generators, lamps | Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento |
Especially in demand Agira brake pads — they are supplied complete with anti-squeak plates and have a service life comparable to the original. For example, for Hyundai Solaris (2017–2023) pads with article number fit AGP1012 (front axle) and AGP1013 (rear axle).
How to check the originality of Agira spare parts?
Counterfeits under the Agira brand are less common than under “no-name” manufacturers, but there is still a risk of running into counterfeit goods. Here are the key features of the original part:
- 📦 Packaging — a box made of thick cardboard with the Agira logo, holographic sticker and barcode. The bottom should be marked “Made in Korea” or “Made in China” (for some items).
- 🏷️ Article — applied by laser or embossing, matches the catalog on the manufacturer’s website. For example, for the front pillars Kia Rio 4 original article -
AGS2045. - 🔍 Detail — the metal parts (levers, calipers) have the Agira marking stamped on them, there are no signs of corrosion or rough processing.
- 📄 Documents — the kit includes a warranty card with the seal of the distributor (for Russia — Mando Rus LLC).
If you buy a spare part online, ask the seller for a photo of the packaging with the hologram and the article number. In markets or in dubious stores, the risk of running into a fake is higher - they often sell parts without the original packaging under the guise of “warehouse remains.”
⚠️ Attention! On AliExpress and other Chinese sites, parts of unknown brands with the “Agira-style” sticker are often sold under the guise of Agira. Such spare parts are not related to the official manufacturer and may be dangerous to use.
Before purchasing, check the Agira spare part number in the official catalog on the website Mando Corporation. If the article is missing, it is 100% fake.

Comparison of Agira with other brands: which is better?
When choosing spare parts for Korean cars, owners often compare Agira with other popular brands. Let's look at the key differences:
- 🔧 Agira vs. original (Hyundai/Kia): The quality is comparable, but the original is 30–50% more expensive. Agira is often used on the assembly line as a backup.
- 🔧 Agira vs. MOBIS: MOBIS is an original supplier for Hyundai/Kia, so its parts are considered the standard. However, Agira is cheaper and suitable for budget repairs.
- 🔧 Agira vs. Febi/Bilstein: German brands offer a wider range for European cars, but for Korean models Agira often wins in price and availability.
- 🔧 Agira vs. Chinese analogues: Agira parts undergo strict quality control, while Chinese “nonames” may be defective or mismatched in size.
For critical nodes (for example, braking system or steering) it is better to choose Agira or the original. For consumables (silent blocks, filters), you can consider more budget analogues, but with mandatory verification of certificates.
Detailed comparison of Agira and MOBIS
MOBIS is a subsidiary of Hyundai, so its parts are considered "primary" original. Agira, on the other hand, is a “secondary” original: the same factories, but different packaging and logistics. In terms of service life, the parts are almost identical, but MOBIS may have stricter tolerances for new models (for example, Hyundai Tucson 2023).

- 👎 “Some stores come across fakes - check the packaging!”
- 👎 "For SsangYong the range is smaller than for Hyundai/Kia.”

Step-by-step instructions: how to select an Agira spare part by VIN code
To avoid mistakes when purchasing, follow this algorithm:
- Find your VIN your car (usually on the windshield or registration certificate).
- Use the official catalog:
- Go to the site Mando Corporation.
- Enter the VIN in the search field or select the model manually.
- Check the part number with what the seller offers.
- For Hyundai/Kia after 2018, check the engine modification (for example,
Gamma 1.6 MPI). - For SsangYong Market specification (Europe/Asia) may be required.
- Order a part from an official dealer or a trusted store with a guarantee.
Example: for Kia Rio 4 (2020) with engine 1.4 MPI Agira front brake pads have the article number AGP1015. If the seller offers AGP1012 - these are pads from Rio 3, and they won't fit!
⚠️ Attention! For vehicles with ADAS (for example, Hyundai Tucson 2023) Replacing suspension or steering parts may require camera calibration. Check with your dealer before purchasing!
