Yes.
Suzuki has had a giant plant since the 90's that's been manufacturing certain models for most of Europe and the world.
Most Audi engines are made in the country. (not sure what percentage but an Audi assembled in Germany will most likely have an TFSI engine built in Hungary)
They also have part manufacturers and suppliers. Honda uses a lot of Hungary built parts.
Bosch also has R&D and production facilities (radar tech).
Mercedes-Benz
already builds the B-class and CLA models in Hungary.
I also believe that in recent years the country has really figured out a solid blueprint for setting up manufacturing presence for just about any heavy industry. Not just assembly workers but actual engineering.
Things are looking good.
