How to Check What Model My Car Is?
2 Answers
You can check what model your car is by looking at the vehicle's identification plate located at the lower part of the passenger side door. Below is some related information about the vehicle identification plate: 1. Contents: The vehicle identification plate is a source label that indicates the basic characteristics of the vehicle, including the manufacturer, model, engine power, total weight, load capacity or passenger capacity, manufacturing number, production date, and manufacturer's name. 2. Purpose: The production time can be determined by inquiring with the user or by checking the vehicle identification plate, as the production time is always indicated on the plate in the driver's compartment.
Bro, there are actually four ways to find out your car model: The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is the most reliable—it's that 17-digit alphanumeric code at the bottom left of your windshield. Just enter it into the WeChat public account 'VIN Check' or pay 10 yuan on Taobao to get a detailed report. Alternatively, check the nameplate on the door frame of the passenger seat—it usually has the words 'Model' followed by the code. The first page of your maintenance manual often prints the full model name, though the font is so tiny you might need a magnifying glass. If all else fails, pull out the green book (Vehicle Registration Certificate) and flip to the second page—look for the 'Brand Model' section, e.g., 'Audi A4L 2022 40TFSI Luxury Sport,' and that’s your answer. Last time, my neighbor Lao Wang bought a used car, and the salesperson tried to pass it off as a high-spec model—but after checking the VIN, it turned out to be the low-power version, saving him 30,000 yuan in wasted money!
