Alfa Romeo VIN Check
Alfa Romeo vehicles use ISO 3779 VINs with WMI ZAR for passenger cars and ZAS for SUVs (Stelvio, Tonale in North America). Positions 4–8 encode restraint systems, model, trim, and engine family. Giulia VINs built for European and international markets often use a legacy layout (position 6 = E) that differs from the US NHTSA submission.
Our decoder maps Giulia, Stelvio, and Tonale model codes, Cassino assembly plant, and check-digit validation for Alfa Romeo WMIs worldwide.
How to Read a Alfa Romeo VIN
Start with the WMI (positions 1–3): ZAR = Italy/Alfa Romeo passenger car, ZAS = multipurpose/SUV. Positions 4–8 describe restraints, model, trim, and engine. Position 10 is the model year (M = 2021). Position 11 is the assembly plant (7 = Cassino, Piedimonte San Germano).
