Mapping Korean Domestic Trims (LeBlanc, Calligraphy, Noblesse) to European AutoScout24 Spec Trees
Detailed cross-reference map for automotive exporters translating domestic Korean Hyundai and Kia trim names into standard Mobile.de and AutoScout24 equipment trees.
The Challenge: Domestic vs European Trim Nomenclature
When exporting vehicles from South Korea to Europe (Germany, Poland, Netherlands, France), car dealers need to list listings on **Mobile.de** or **AutoScout24**.
However, domestic Korean manufacturers use specific marketing names for equipment packages that do not exist in European dealership databases: - **Hyundai:** Modern, Premium, Exclusive, Prestige, Le Blanc, Calligraphy, VIP - **Kia:** Trendy, Prestige, Noblesse, Noblesse Special, Signature, Gravity - **Genesis:** Standard vs Shooting Brake, with optional Selection I & Selection II packages
