XPeng VIN Decoder VIN Decoder
Every XPeng vehicle has a unique 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) that serves as its digital fingerprint. Our XPeng VIN decoder reads this number and extracts detailed information directly from Chinese vehicle databases that no other decoder can access:
Battery capacity, motor type, drivetrain, body style, trim level, and factory-installed options including XNGP hardware generation
Exact factory location — Zhaoqing, Guangzhou, or Magna Graz (Austria) — encoded in position 11 of the VIN
Position 10 reveals the model year (N=2022, P=2023, R=2024, S=2025, T=2026)
Chinese provincial traffic authority records and insurance claims — unavailable on Carfax or AutoCheck
Previous owners, registration history, and transfer dates from Chinese registration databases
Cross-referenced against the SAMR recall database to identify any open or closed recalls for your specific VIN
Province of registration, registration date, deregistration status, and export clearance data
Verified against the Chinese Police Database for stolen or flagged vehicle status
Understanding the structure of an XPeng VIN helps you verify authenticity and identify key details about the vehicle before purchase. XPeng's primary WMI code is L1N, used on all self-manufactured vehicles from the Zhaoqing plant onward. Early G3 units (2018–2020) built under contract by Haima Automobile may carry a different WMI prefix.
| Position(s) | Name | XPeng Specific Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI Code | L1N = XPeng (Guangzhou Xiaopeng Automobile Technology Co., Ltd.) |
| 4–8 | Vehicle Descriptor (VDS) | Model, body style, motor/battery type, restraint system |
| 9 | Check Digit | Mathematical verification digit (0–9 or X) |
| 10 | Model Year | N=2022 | P=2023 | R=2024 | S=2025 | T=2026 |
| 11 | Plant Code | A=Zhaoqing | B=Guangzhou | D=Magna Graz (Austria) |
| 12–17 | Production Sequence | 6-digit sequential number — uniquely identifies the vehicle |
Note: First-generation XPeng G3 models (Nov 2018 – ~2020) were contract-manufactured by Haima Automobile in Zhengzhou and carry Haima's WMI prefix instead of L1N. Our decoder supports both prefixes.

Before decoding, you need to locate the VIN on your XPeng vehicle. It can be found in these locations:
Visible through the windshield from outside the vehicle, on the lower left corner of the dashboard
Sticker located at door latch height on the B-pillar when you open the driver's door
Stamped on the body structure inside the front trunk (frunk) or under-hood area
Registration certificate, insurance documents, and import certificate
Whether you're checking an XPeng G6, P7, G9, or the new Mona M03, the 17-character VIN contains everything you need to verify the vehicle's history. Our free XPeng VIN decoder accesses Chinese government databases that no other service can reach.
Follow these six steps to check your XPeng VIN and get full vehicle history:
Find the VIN on the B-pillar sticker (driver's door jamb), dashboard plate (visible through windshield on driver's side), or front trunk area. On XPeng EVs, the frunk is a common location. Also check your registration documents and insurance papers.
XPeng VINs are exactly 17 characters — letters and numbers only. No spaces, no letters I, O, or Q. Most XPeng VINs start with L1N (Zhaoqing/Guangzhou plant). Early G3 models (2018-2020) may start with Haima WMI codes (contract manufacturing).
Paste your 17-digit VIN into the search field at the top. Our decoder works for all XPeng models — G3, G6, G7, G9, P5, P7, P7+, X9, and Mona M03. Results appear instantly with free basic specs.
Your free report shows: manufacturer (XPeng), model (G6, P7, G9, etc.), model year, battery capacity, motor type, and assembly plant. This confirms whether the vehicle matches seller claims.
Unlock accident history from Chinese traffic authorities, ownership records, insurance claims, odometer verification, and recall status from SAMR. This data comes directly from Chinese government databases — unavailable on Carfax, AutoCheck, or any non-Chinese service.
Use the full report to verify the vehicle before buying. Check for hidden accidents, odometer rollback, outstanding recalls, and ownership history. Especially important for XPeng imports in Europe, Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
Scroll to the top and enter your 17-digit VIN. Works for all XPeng models — G3, G6, G7, G9, P5, P7, P7+, X9, and Mona M03.
Learn More About Chinese VIN Decoding →Understanding XPeng's manufacturing history helps you verify any XPeng vehicle. The WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) code tells you not just who made the car, but where and when.
L1N is XPeng's primary WMI code, assigned to Guangzhou Xiaopeng Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. The "L" indicates China (the country of manufacture), while "1N" identifies XPeng specifically. Every XPeng vehicle produced at XPeng's own factories — Zhaoqing, Guangzhou, or Magna Graz in Austria — carries the L1N prefix.
Code: L1N + Plant A
Models: G6, G7, G9, P7, P7+, X9
Note: XPeng's main production hub — most export vehicles come from here
Code: L1N + Plant B
Models: P5, G3, Mona M03
Note: R&D center and headquarters — some early production runs
Code: L1N + Plant D
Models: P7 for European market
Note: Contract manufacturing for EU export — EU CCC certification
Here's a little-known fact: the first-generation XPeng G3 (November 2018 – approximately 2020) was not manufactured by XPeng at all. It was contract-manufactured by Haima Automobile in Zhengzhou, Henan Province.
These early G3 vehicles carry Haima's WMI prefix (not L1N), which can cause confusion during VIN checks. Our decoder supports both WMI codes — L1N for self-manufactured XPeng vehicles and Haima codes for early G3 models.
If your G3 VIN doesn't start with L1N, check the model year. G3s built before 2020 were likely Haima-manufactured. This matters for parts ordering — Haima and XPeng parts are NOT interchangeable. Use our decoder to confirm the exact manufacturing origin.
Understanding a real XPeng VIN is the best way to learn how the 17-digit code works. Below are example VINs covering XPeng's main models — including the new G7, P7+, and Mona M03. Each position is color-coded to show what information it encodes.
