Here is our new functionality designed to translate Russian VIN - codes Korean cars to their foreign counterparts. If you know the essence of the problem, then we will be happy to help you get the most information about your car. Enter the code in the free field and get it foreign analogue, which is "understood" by programs for the selection of spare parts. If our translator did not help you, then we offer you a little useful information.
There are several ways to translate VIN
- Search the Internet for VIN translation services
- View under the windshield VIN
- Study more closely the passport of the vehicle
Let's take a closer look at the third point. The point is that in different countries Kia and Hyundai are assembled according to the principle of assembly assembly and when leaving the assembly line, the assembler assigns a VIN that starts with the letter X (Fig. 2). If your manufacturer's VIN is not registered (this happens), then it is better not to experiment and.
The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique vehicle number assigned by the manufacturer upon release. It is an important means of identification containing many useful details about the vehicle. According to the ISO 3779 standard, adopted in the USA and Canada in 1977, it consists of seventeen characters using the letters of the Latin alphabet: I, Q, O. It is these letters that are used because they are convenient for their visual similarity to the numbers "1" and "0". The majority are guided by the same standard. European manufacturers. Each group of characters and a separate symbol of the VIN code carry clearly defined information:
- first three VIN symbol show the manufacturer's index, by which it can be identified by users all over the world: the first is the country, the second is the manufacturer's code, the third is the type of car (car, truck)
- fourth - eighth characters indicate the model, engine and body types, series and others specifications;
- the ninth character is an indicator of the correctness of the entire code, it can be used to determine whether the car is listed as “hijacked”;
- the tenth character means the year of manufacture, although for a number of manufacturers (for example, at some Ford plants), this information is reflected in the eleventh character.
- the eleventh character is the characteristic of the manufacturer;
- from the twelfth to the seventeenth characters reflect the assembly sequence and are the body number.
It would seem that having a VIN - a code indicated in the documents, and buying a car for secondary market, you can check the car in all respects. Firstly, to make sure that it is clean from a legal point of view, and secondly, to find out all the details of its configuration, strengths and weak spots. Second important point– acquisition of the necessary components, parts and tuning elements for the machine. Usually the spare part numbers depend on the options that are installed on the specific model a certain year and even month of release. Which options are installed on your car can be determined by the VIN - code.
But not everything is so simple. In practice, for Korean cars, the code specified in the PTS “does not break through” in Microcat MARKET, a system that is a single online parts catalog. Not only Microkat, but also many other automotive programs do not identify the codes of the "Koreans". You need to know the “second wine”, which the program for the selection of spare parts will be able to identify.
Take, for example, Kia Sid ( Kia Ceed) 2010 release, which was assembled in Slovakia and completed in Russia. The PTS usually indicates the Kaliningrad "vin", which must be translated into Slovak. Similar is the case with kia sportage (Kia Sportage). Cars also have two "faults" brands Hyundai, which are collected in Taganrog: one Tagazovsky, the other - Korean. The Kia Spectra, according to the assembly, has the Izhevsk VIN code in the TCP.
There is a lively debate in the forums of car enthusiasts on the topic, can a car have “two wines”? Or is the Korean VIN - the code for cars assembled outside of Korea - nothing more than a myth created by incompetent sellers? In the same forums, “experts” appear who are able to determine another VIN using the Russian code, which turns out to be correct for automotive programs. This indicates that there are databases capable of deciphering domestic codes and "translating them into a common language", but access to them is limited.
Our new service, which you see on this page, was created just for such decryption. Use and get everything you need without any hassle!
An identification number Hyundai cars complies with international standards and has 17 characters.
1. VIN starts with geographical designation of the country of origin, Where

6. Under the sixth character of the VIN code (it can be both numeric and alphabetic) is encrypted body type, but we will not give a decoding of it due to possible discrepancies - for example, 3-door and 2-door cars in Korean version appear equally as "sedans", although according to the accepted Russian classification they pass as hatchback and coupe.
7. On the seventh position - car class(the belonging to the class is judged by the total authorized mass of the car) and the designation of the security system:

12. Closes the VIN serial number of the product.
Many novice motorists, as well as experienced car owners often ask the question: "Where is the vin code of a Hyundai car?", "Where is the vin number of a Hyundai car?" We will briefly try to answer these questions and tell you where the vin is located on Hyundai cars.
For everyone modern cars VIN code (number) is located in the upper left part of the instrument panel, visible through windshield(next to the right wiper). It can also be found on the left front pillar of the car body. Traditional places for application VIN number but are the block and cylinder head, body pillars, door sills, the partition between the engine and the passenger compartment, and for cars with frame structure(mostly SUVs) - also spars.
On cars of the Hyundai brand, the VIN code (number) is located - *:
1st place - VIN number in the cabin, in front of the front passenger seat and covered with a carpet flap.
2nd place - on the left pillar of the body on the driver's side, visible when the door is opened.
3rd place - on the plate at the top dashboard.
4th place - on the right near the rear spring.
5th place - on the nameplate of the booth manufacturer i.e. on the booth and on the nameplate with right side cabins behind the door above the steps.
6th place - in engine compartment on the right side.
7th place - under the windshield on the left side.
* - location may vary depending on the car model
For additional protection Your Hyundai from theft, as well as from theft of headlights and mirror elements, we suggest you make anti-theft marking of the car.
LEARN MORE ABOUT ANTI-THEFT MARKINGS
Attempted hijackings
Anti-theft marking - car theft protector No. 1
Vin-code is a kind of non-erasable "brand". It cannot be removed or removed, and therefore the car is easy to detect. This is known not only by law enforcement agencies, but also by hijackers. According to statistics, marked cars are 79% less likely to be stolen than unmarked ones. At the same time, the found cars in 85 cases out of 100 are equipped with a vin-code. Hijacking a marked car is unprofitable for hijackers: the risk is high, and the profit is approximately 12-15% less than expected. The fact is that marked glass and mirrors will have to be removed and replaced with unmarked ones. If you sell the car for spare parts, then hardly anyone will buy “labeled” glass and they will have to be thrown away without receiving money for them. In some cases, VIN marking is beneficial because of insurance: when insuring a car, the presence of a VIN code can significantly reduce the cost of a CASCO insurance policy (Certain Insurance companies provide a discount of up to 35% of the amount of the insurance premium)
Know how to decode VIN Hyundai desirable for every owner of this brand, because a unique code helps to choose original spare parts or find out the past car. All cars have such an identifier, but in this article we will only talk about the product of the Korean auto industry.
What is a VIN?
All motorists have probably heard about this set of signs, but not everyone knows how to use it. In fact, this numerical and alphabetic designation is identification code your vehicle. For the first time, they learned about it in 1977, when American and Canadian manufacturers began to apply it to cars. In most countries, when applying such a code, it is customary to adhere to the ISO 3779 standard, but this principle of vehicle identification is not always observed.
We will now consider the generally accepted encryption. The number consists of 17 characters. In this case, all Arabic numerals and Latin letters are used, except for I, O and Q. This limitation is due to the similarity of the last two letters to each other and the number "0", and "I" is easy to confuse with "1". Moreover, each code is unique, the repetition of the same combination of characters is possible only after 30 years. This approach eliminates the possibility of a fake VIN. In addition, the code contains a check number, so even if the scammers managed to somehow fake the number, it is impossible to guess the encrypted number.
The location of the wine code in the car
In principle, there are no strict requirements here either, although the main places for placing this code are considered to be left side dashboard, under the windshield or on driver's door. At the request of the manufacturer, it can be applied to any other surface. Sometimes VIN is located on the floor under the seat, in the trunk, under the wings of the car, the main thing is that all places, like the number itself, are indicated in the technical documentation. Sometimes this combination of numbers is knocked out in surfaces that are not very convenient for viewing. This is done to prevent hijackers from forging the code.
Typically, the code is applied to a special label or plate by embossing or using a laser, but other methods are also possible. At the same time, the height of the letters is more than 7 millimeters if it is on a part of the car (frame, chassis, body), and at least 4 mm for the label and plate. When the code is arranged in two rows, the transfer should not affect the semantic construction. But in the documentation, only a single-line version is allowed. Despite the fact that there are no special requirements for the design of a VIN, it must nevertheless be durable and preferably well read.
Why do you need a VIN check?
The main task of this number is the identification of the vehicle. VIN check Hyundai lets you know the history of a car–starting from its manufacturer, country, year of manufacture and ending with information whether it is listed as stolen. Therefore, the ability to decipher it is especially important for those who are going to buy a car from their hands, then checking the wine code is almost the first thing to take care of.
When buying a vehicle, be sure to carefully check the VIN specified in the documentation with all the VIN codes on the elements of the car, especially on hard-to-reach ones, since it is almost impossible to fake it there. The check should include not only the decoding of signs, but also visual control. Pay attention to the presence of defects, because if the number is stamped on a special marking table fixed on rivets, then it is impossible to remove such a platform, kill the number and return it back without damaging neighboring elements.
Deciphering the VIN code for Hyundai
Now let's move on to the practical part and consider how Hyundai. The first three characters indicate the country, factory and vehicle type. First comes the letter corresponding to the country where the assembly is made: N - Turkey, K - Korea and M - means that the car was produced in India. Next, the manufacturer is indicated, it can be HMI, HMC and HAOS, they correspond to the letter designations A, M, L. By the last sign in this group, you can determine the type of machine. So, trailers correspond to the letter B, trucks - F, and if in front of you is passenger transport or an SUV, then the letters H, X are marked in the number. If the third letter is J or Y - this is a bus or station wagon, Z characterizes minibuses and trucks, and 8 - cars of the MPV category.
The location is determined by the next (fourth) position. Right-hand drive vehicles are designated A, D, F, G, K, R, T, U. Left-hand drive vehicles are designated C, B, E, J, M, P, S, V, X.
The fifth and sixth positions of the wine code are interconnected and for various models is different. So, if you want to become the owner Hyundai Click, Atoz, Elantra, Getz, Equus, Lavita, GRANDEUR XG, Lantra, Matrix, Libero, Visto, Porter, Terracan, SantaFe, Santro, Tuscani, Sonata(except USA), Starex, Trajet, Verna, then the letter in 5th place characterizes the equipment, and the number following it indicates the type of body. For the remaining models Hyundai, on the contrary, the letter shows the type of body, and the further figure is the configuration option. Below is the transcript.
Standard or, as they say, " empty car» - X, S, L, F, A or number 1, deluxe - Y, T, M, G, B and 2, super deluxe correspond to the symbols Z, U, N, H, C, 3. These rules are common to all models . Now let's get to the specifics. For the above models, the presence of R, E, W, K in the marking means that the car has a top-end configuration, the remaining Latin letters indicate the grand saloon. For everyone else, whose equipment is indicated in position 6, the number 4 corresponds to DLX, and the letters S, T - “standard” and “taxi”.
Having dealt with the decoding of the configuration Hyundai according to VIN, pay attention to body type designations: hatchback (A, D, 3, 5), coupe (E, G, 2, 6), combi (N, P), station wagon (S, T, W, 8), pickup (B, 0), convertible (C, 7), sedan (F, 4), minivan (V). For a limousine and double cabs, sixth place will be "1" or "D", respectively.
The seventh character indicates the class of the machine and its security system. For cars newer than 2009, "1" indicates the presence of front belts with pretensioners and six airbags. The next letter indicates the engine type.
The ninth place is most often the check digit.
Next comes the year of manufacture of the car, here it can be both alphabetic and digital designation. Repetition is possible once every thirty years, for example, "8" is indicated on vehicles released in 1978 and 2008. And according to the eleventh number, the geographical location of the manufacturer is determined. The most common letters are A, C, I, U and denote various provinces of Korea, M - India, Z - Turkey. The production number of the product is the last 6 characters of the VIN code, VIN decoding Hyundai this ends.
We see that checking an identifier is a rather painstaking task, and it is impossible to know all the information listed by heart. To facilitate this process, today there are special Internet resources that contain pivot tables, or even a complete database. Checking in this case comes down to just a set of numbers in the specified field.
