How do car production years correspond to letters?
1 Answers
Car production years are indicated by the 10th digit of the VIN. For example, vehicles produced in 2018 correspond to the letter J, those from 2020 correspond to L, and 2021 models correspond to M, and so on. The production year codes consist of 30 characters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, R, etc. The VIN can be found in the engine compartment, on the front windshield, the driver's side door B-pillar, or the vehicle chassis. It contains information about the manufacturer, production year, model, body type and code, engine code, and assembly location.
