Every Hyundai Accent (2018–2022) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the 3KP WMI. The Accent is a gas sedan; this page shows what each character of a Hyundai Accent VIN means and gives 4 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 Accent.
Each sample below is built from the real 3KP WMI and the Accent's descriptor, so it decodes to a Hyundai Accent of the right model year:

Worked on the sample 3KPC24A63JE855964 — a 2018 Hyundai Accent:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | 3KP | Marks the VIN as Hyundai, built in Mexico |
| 4–8 | VDS | C24A6 | Descriptor for the Accent — sedan body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 3 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | J | Code J = 2018 |
| 11 | Plant | E | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 855964 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Hyundai Accent VIN read 3KP — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Hyundai, assembled in Mexico (North America). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (C24A6 in our seed) describe the Accent itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the Accent, 2018 is code J and 2022 is code N. See the 2022 year code or the check-digit math.

A Hyundai Accent VIN is 17 characters starting with the 3KP WMI, for example 3KPC24A63JE855964. Positions 4–8 describe the Accent, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: 3KP is the Hyundai WMI, positions 4–8 are the Accent 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 Accent in our seed uses the 3KP WMI (Mexico). Any VIN beginning with 3KP decodes to Hyundai.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Hyundai 3KP WMI, and carry the Accent's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Hyundai Accent. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
