Genesis VIN Decoder

Genesis became a separate luxury brand in 2015. Before that, the Genesis sedan and coupe were sold as Hyundai models.

Reading a Genesis VIN

What do the first three characters of a Genesis VIN mean?

Current Genesis models begin KMT. An early Genesis sedan sold under the Hyundai badge carries Hyundai’s KMH instead, so a Genesis that decodes as a Hyundai is usually one of those, not an error.
