How many numbers are in a Chevrolet VIN?
Every Chevrolet Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) contains a 17-character alphanumeric code unique to each Chevrolet vehicle. It provides a range of information about a given Chevrolet vehicle, including the year it was built, the country and factory the Chevrolet was built in, its engine and transmission types, exterior color, safety equipment, and more.
For Chevrolet vehicles, and more broadly for General Motors vehicles sold in North America, the WMIs can vary, but commonly they include:
- “1G1” - This WMI is typically used for Chevrolet passenger cars.
- “1GC” - This WMI is commonly used for Chevrolet trucks.
- “2G1” - This WMI indicates Chevrolet vehicles manufactured in Canada.
- “3G1” - This WMI indicates Chevrolet vehicles manufactured in Mexico.
Each character within the WMI has a specific meaning:
- The first character (“1,” “2,” or “3”) indicates the country of manufacture (U.S., Canada, or Mexico respectively for Chevrolet).
- The second character (“G”) represents General Motors.
- The third character (“1” or “C”) often indicates the division within General Motors, with “1” typically standing for Chevrolet.
