What you have witten is not a complete sentence. You need a subject, verb, and punctuation.

Try: "Your new car has power, performance, luxury, and comfort which defines your lifestyle."

Cheers,
Amigo

new2grammar, it appears that you are taking phrases from a Hyundai promotional advertisement. What is it that you are trying to achieve?

Cheers,
Amigo

The Hyundai brochure uses short, catchy phrases to get the customer's attention. Hyundai is not interested in grammatical perfection to meet its sales quota!

A correct sentence would be:

Hyundai gives you power, performance, luxury, and comfort.

2. What would be a better title for this thread?
