It fits alternator-driven configurations on many Hyundai Sonata, Santa Fe, Tucson and several Kia Optima, Sorento and Sportage model years. The belt's measured 39.69-inch effective length and six ribs provide consistent contact with pulleys for stable tension, quieter operation and reduced vibration compared with worn or mismatched belts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles and engine positions does this belt fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis A-Premium belt is targeted for gasoline-powered Hyundai and Kia four-cylinder models where the alternator uses a 6-rib belt.
