Changan VIN Check
Changan Automobile (长安汽车) uses LS4 for CS-series SUVs/MPVs, LS5 for passenger cars such as UNI-V, LS6 for Deepal (深蓝) EVs and some Oshan/Avatr NEVs, and LSC for Kaicene light trucks. Joint-venture Mazdas use LVR (not this decoder).
Our decoder maps documented 17vin VDS families (for example C3E2S = Deepal S07), ISO check digit, model year, and plant codes including Nanjing F for Deepal S07.
How to Read a Changan VIN
Start with the WMI (positions 1–3). Positions 4–8 are the VDS model/body/powertrain code. Position 9 is the ISO/GB 16735 check digit, 10 is model year, and 11 is the plant (F/G = Nanjing, A–C = Chongqing).
Frequently Asked Questions — Changan VIN

LS6 is Changan’s NEV WMI. Most LS6 vehicles are Deepal (深蓝); some VDS codes are Oshan (欧尚) or Avatr (阿维塔).

Windscreen VIN plate, driver B-pillar sticker, and often a firewall or frunk plate on EVs.
