So it seems, but I can tell You from the inside they have a habit of changing lots of things, little and not so little between Hyundai & Kia. Everything from cabin air filters to
major powertrain components have differences, say same year model to model, can interchange or not. One year one brand will interchange a part with a different year of
the earlier era of the same line in the other brand. We just find the part# and give it to the parts guy if it's there, if not sometimes You have to play match'em-up, or end
up getting it from the other guys anyway.
