The five-five number, shared across the group
A Hyundai Motor Group number is five digits, a hyphen, then five more characters. The first block identifies the part type and is constant across the whole group: 58101 is a front brake pad kit whether the badge says Hyundai, Kia or Genesis. The second block carries a platform code and a variant number.
That structure gives you a fast sanity check. If a supplier quotes a number whose first five digits do not match the part type you asked for, the conversation has gone wrong before any money moved — and you can confirm the shape against the house formats with the free OEM number lookup.
The same car under three names
Hyundai renames aggressively by market, and the catalog knows the market from the VIN rather than from the name. A European i30 and a North American Elantra GT are close relatives with different badges; an i20 has no North American equivalent at all; and a Tucson sold in Europe differs from a Tucson sold in Korea in emissions hardware and equipment.
Working from the model name in this range is unusually unreliable. Working from the VIN removes the question, because the build record already contains the market.
Where Hyundai builds split
Beyond market, the main splits are engine family and equipment level. The petrol, diesel and hybrid variants of one model diverge in the fuel, intake and after-treatment groups, and driver-assistance packages add radar and camera hardware with brackets and calibration requirements of their own.
Electric models — Ioniq and its siblings — sit in the same catalog. What changes is which assembly groups exist, not how you navigate to them.

Frequently asked questions
Is Mobis EPC the same as Hyundai EPC?
They point at the same parts data. Mobis is the Hyundai Motor Group's parts operation and the source of that data, which is why people search for “Mobis EPC”; the dealer catalog it is published in is Snap-on EPC, and that is what VINsearch opens for Hyundai, Kia and Genesis.
Why do Hyundai and Kia share part numbers?
Because they share platforms and components. The first five digits identify the part type across the whole group, so a component fitted to both marques carries one number.
Does the catalog cover Genesis?
Yes. Genesis is catalogued alongside Hyundai and Kia on the same data, with the same five-five numbering.
