How this VIN pattern is read
A 17-character VIN carries two kinds of information: what was built, and which one it is. This page is the first kind — the nine highlighted positions.
VIN positions 1 through 8 read 2GNAXHEV and position 10 reads J. Those nine characters define this build. Position 9 and positions 11 through 17 describe the check digit, assembly plant and production sequence; they are not part of this pattern.
| Positions | Characters | What they encode |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | 2GN | GENERAL MOTORS LLC · World manufacturer identifier |
| 4–8 | AXHEV | Model, body style, engine and restraint system |
| 9 | × | Check digit — computed per vehicle, not part of the build |
| 10 | J | Model year — 2018 |
| 11 | × | Assembly plant |
| 12–17 | ×××××× | Production sequence number, unique to each vehicle |
