Which year is the car with the letter K?
2 Answers
K represents a car produced in 2019. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code combination that serves as the 'ID card' for a vehicle. The 10th character indicates the model year. Below is relevant information: 1. VIN Meaning: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), also known as the chassis number, is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code assigned to each vehicle. It identifies the manufacturer, engine, chassis serial number, and other specifications of the car. 2. How to Read a Car's VIN: The 1st character 'L' indicates China. The 2nd and 3rd characters represent the manufacturing plant. Characters 4-9 denote the vehicle type and configuration. The 10th character shows the model year (using letters or numbers, excluding 0, O, Q, I, Z). The 11th character indicates the assembly plant with a letter or number. The last 6 digits are the production sequence number.
To be honest, it's really hard to tell which year a car is from just by looking at the letter K. Last time, a young guy from my neighborhood was showing off his car key with just a K printed on it, and it turned out to be a 2018 Kia. Both car logos and model letters can have a K, like certain year models of the Kia K3, or special editions of the Ford Raptor F-150 that feature a K. If you want to check the specific condition of the car, it's best to provide me with the license plate or VIN number. The manufacturing date on the engine compartment nameplate is the most accurate. Nowadays, many used car apps can scan a code to pull up the complete vehicle history, which is way more reliable than us guessing here.
