What a Kia VIN tells you
Every Kia built since 1981 has a 17-character VIN. The first three characters (the World Manufacturer Identifier) show who built it and where; characters 4–8 describe the model, body and engine; the 10th character is the model year; the 11th is the assembly plant; and the last six are the vehicle’s serial number.
| VIN starts with | Usually means |
|---|---|
| KNA / KND | Kia built in South Korea |
| 5XX / 5XY | Kia built in the United States (Georgia) |
Prefixes are a general guide. The decoder above reads the full VIN for the exact details.
