Genesis is the luxury brand under Hyundai. Taking the 2021 Genesis G80 2.5T Rear-Wheel Drive Luxury Edition as an example: it is a mid-to-large-sized 4-door 5-seater sedan equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Its dimensions are 4995mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1465mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3010mm and a fuel tank capacity of 65L. The 2021 Genesis G80 2.5T Rear-Wheel Drive Luxury Edition uses a 2.5T inline 4-cylinder engine, with a maximum torque of 422 Nm and a maximum power of 223.6 kW. The top speed reaches 240 km/h, the drive type is front-engine rear-wheel drive, and the power steering type is electric power steering.

I used to wonder about Genesis's ownership too. Indeed, it's a luxury brand under the Hyundai Motor Group, similar to Lexus under Toyota. Hyundai specifically established Genesis in 2015 to target the premium market and compete with Mercedes-Benz and BMW. From following automotive news, I've noticed this brand's designs are quite avant-garde – take the GV70 SUV for example, with leading safety and tech features. After test-driving a friend's Genesis, I was impressed by its superb comfort. As part of the group, Hyundai shares resources, making Genesis maintenance more convenient and affordable compared to pure luxury brands. For those wanting premium vehicles without breaking the bank, Genesis – outstanding among Korean automakers with strong growth potential – deserves serious consideration.

Hi, as someone who frequently reads automotive news, I can confirm that Genesis is the premium sub-brand of the Hyundai Motor Group. Hyundai launched it in 2015 to fill a brand gap and enhance global competitiveness. Having driven Genesis vehicles like the GV80 SUV, I found the power and handling to be top-notch, clearly inheriting Hyundai's reliability genes. The group also includes Kia, with shared resources, making Genesis more affordable in terms of maintenance. I think consumers can enjoy a luxury car experience while saving money when buying one—a very smart design. In Asian markets, the brand is growing rapidly, and compared to Lexus, it innovates faster, making it highly recommended for buyers seeking value for money.

What type of oil should be used for the Ford Edge?

Ford Edge uses 5W30 oil. Below are the classifications of motor oil and the oil change intervals: Classifications of motor oil: Motor oil is specifically categorized into 4 types for summer use, 6 types for winter use, and 16 types for all-season use. The summer oil grades are 20, 30, 40, and 50, with higher numbers indicating greater viscosity and suitability for higher temperatures. The winter oil grades are 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, and 25W, where the 'W' stands for winter. The smaller the number before the 'W', the lower the viscosity at low temperatures and the better the low-temperature fluidity. Oil change intervals: Motor oil is divided into three types: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. The change interval for mineral oil is 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, for semi-synthetic oil it is 7,500 kilometers or 9 months, and for full synthetic oil it is 10,000 kilometers or 1 year.

Is it possible not to display the electronic license plate?

Electronic license plates do not need to be displayed. Here are the relevant details: 1. Implementation time of the exemption policy: On June 20, 2020, paper inspection stickers for motor vehicles were abolished nationwide, and all paper inspection stickers were replaced with electronic inspection stickers. The function of the electronic inspection sticker is the same as that of the paper sticker, so now there is no need to display any paper stickers on the interior or exterior of the vehicle. 2. Usage method: After successful application, you can download the electronic certificate to your mobile phone in advance when you need to present it, or print it out directly and stick it on the car window or place it in a readily accessible location inside the car. Of course, you can also directly access the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app to present it offline.

What Causes Electronic Steering Wheel Stiffness?

The following are the possible reasons for electronic steering wheel stiffness: 1. Adjust the wheel alignment: Generally, when a vehicle experiences electronic steering wheel stiffness, the wheel alignment can be adjusted. Wheel alignment refers to the relative positional relationship between the wheels and the chassis (wheels, steering knuckles, front axle, etc.). If the wheel alignment parameters change, issues such as misaligned steering, heavy steering, steering pull, tire wear, and stiffness may occur. 2. Replace the steering gear: If the electronic steering wheel stiffness persists after adjusting the wheel alignment, the cause can be ruled out as wheel alignment. After excluding wheel alignment, the most likely cause is the steering gear. When the steering gear malfunctions and its reverse efficiency decreases, the steering wheel may become difficult to return to the center position, resulting in stiffness.

Is There a Difference Between Transmission Fluid and Engine Oil?

Transmission fluid and engine oil are different. Although both serve a lubricating function, these two fluids perform distinct roles and should not be confused. Specific differences: Engine oil is a lubricant for the engine system, possessing properties such as oxidation resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion prevention. Transmission fluid, on the other hand, is primarily used to keep the gear system clean and extend the service life of internal transmission components. Due to the differing structures and operating environments of the transmission and engine, transmission fluid cannot be used as engine oil, nor can engine oil be used as transmission fluid. Functions of transmission fluid: Reduce friction and wear, control clutch friction and synchronizer performance. Load-bearing (low-speed high torque, vibration loads), heat dissipation, vibration and noise reduction, and removal of contaminants at gear meshing points (cleaning function). Prevent corrosion, pitting, and surface metal tearing, isolate metal surfaces, and prevent direct contact between metal bodies.
