Why check a Genesis from Korea
A Genesis is an expensive car, and so are its repairs. The insurance history shows what each repair cost, which parts were replaced and who paid, so you can tell a small scratch from a serious accident.
A Genesis may have been registered to a company or used as a rental car. The report shows business and rental use and every change of owner.
Genesis models and their names
Genesis became a separate brand of Hyundai in 2015. Earlier cars carry the Hyundai name:
- Hyundai Genesis (2008 to 2016): the sedan before the brand, now the G80
- Hyundai Equus, then Genesis EQ900: the large sedan, now the G90
- G70, G80 and G90 sedans
- GV60, GV70 and GV80 SUVs, electric G80 and GV70
Where to find the VIN of a Genesis
Newer Genesis cars usually have a VIN starting with KMT or KMU; older Hyundai Genesis and Equus cars start with KMH. The VIN is in the listing, the registration document and at the bottom left of the windscreen.
The Korean VIN decoder shows the maker and the model year from the VIN.
