How to Distinguish Imported Cars from Domestic Cars?
1 Answers
There are many methods to distinguish imported cars from domestic cars. Below is a detailed introduction to domestic and imported cars: 1. Identification methods: Some brand models do not have domestic versions, such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, etc. For the same model, check the rear of the car—those with Chinese characters are domestic, while those with English are imported. Look at the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which is a 17-digit code. Vehicles whose VIN does not start with the letter 'L' are all imported. 2. Configuration differences: Some cars retain only the same exterior and interior design when produced domestically, while simplifying some less visible components. This is more common in lower-priced cars to reduce costs. For example, replacing lenses and xenon headlights with halogen ones, reducing hardware specifications, changing aluminum parts in the chassis to cast iron, and canceling S-line sport packages, etc.
