Enter the 17-character VIN of a Hyundai Accent and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and without registration. Our data for the model runs from 1994 to 2019, in Hatchback and Sedan bodies, with power from 60 to 140 hp. It lists ten versions, from Hyundai Accent I up to Hyundai Accent V, along with hatchback entries such as Hyundai Accent Hatchback III.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners; that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are looking at, compare the VIN on the car with the one in the registration papers, and check that the decoded model year and country fit the advert and the body style.

10 versions, in 2 body styles, with power up to 140 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The free decoder gives you the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, but not the exact version. Use the model year together with the body style, Hatchback or Sedan, and then check the power in the documents, which in our data ranges from 60 to 140 hp, to narrow down the ten versions we list.
Read all 17 characters and make sure they match exactly, remembering that the letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN. Then check that the model year (the 10th character) and the plant (the 11th) agree with the papers. The 9th character is a check digit that North American VINs require, while many European VINs fill it differently, so an odd value there is not a warning sign by itself.
It reads only the VIN, so it cannot show accidents, mileage, theft or the number of owners, because none of that is stored in the 17 characters. It also does not name the exact version, so confirm that from the body style, power and documents.
