About this generation
Generation names and year ranges follow manufacturer model-line conventions. Within a generation, engines, transmissions and trim levels are typically shared across model years, which makes cross-year comparison meaningful: a recall filed against one model year usually applies to its siblings, and EPA fuel economy rarely changes without a drivetrain update. Always decode the specific VIN to confirm the exact build.
Data on year pages sourced from NHTSA vPIC, the NHTSA Recalls API and EPA FuelEconomy.gov, with check dates on each page. Generation range: community-curated reference (MIT). VinSpecs is an independent service, not affiliated with Hyundai or any government agency.
