Every Genesis GV70 (2022–2024) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the KMU WMI. The GV70 is a gas SUV; this page shows what each character of a Genesis GV70 VIN means and gives 3 checksum-valid sample VINs you can drop straight into test fixtures. Synthetic — not real: no scraping, no real-owner data. The generator below is pre-filtered to the GV70.
Each sample below is built from the real KMU WMI and the GV70's descriptor, so it decodes to a Genesis GV70 of the right model year:

Worked on the sample KMUHBDSB1NU463197 — a 2022 Genesis GV70:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | KMU | Marks the VIN as Genesis, built in South Korea |
| 4–8 | VDS | HBDSB | Descriptor for the GV70 — SUV body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 1 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | N | Code N = 2022 |
| 11 | Plant | U | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 463197 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Genesis GV70 VIN read KMU — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Genesis, assembled in South Korea (Asia). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (HBDSB in our seed) describe the GV70 itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the GV70, 2022 is code N and 2024 is code R. See the 2024 year code or the check-digit math.
Genesis G80 · all Genesis test VINs
A Genesis GV70 VIN is 17 characters starting with the KMU WMI, for example KMUHBDSB1NU463197. Positions 4–8 describe the GV70, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: KMU is the Genesis WMI, positions 4–8 are the GV70 descriptor, position 9 verifies the VIN via a mod-11 checksum, position 10 gives the year, position 11 the plant, and 12–17 the serial. Paste any VIN into the decoder to do it automatically.
The GV70 in our seed uses the KMU WMI (South Korea). Any VIN beginning with KMU decodes to Genesis.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Genesis KMU WMI, and carry the GV70's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Genesis GV70. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
