Check a specific Hyundai
The free GCC spec check reads a VIN and gives a verdict with a certainty score and the evidence behind it. The full VIN decoder returns every attribute the decode resolves, with the source of each one.
Hyundai is one of the highest-volume brands in this region and had no model coverage at all here until recently. What it has now is model, and honestly not much more.
GCC specification is decided per vehicle, not per model. Two cars of the same model and the same year, built in the same factory in the same week, can go to different markets. So no page can tell you whether yours is a Gulf car, and this one does not try. What it can do is show you exactly what your own VIN encodes and where that stops.
The one thing this module deliberately does not assume is that a descriptor travels between plants. Hyundai's is plant-specific: a Korea-built Sonata is KMHL and the Alabama-built one is 5NPE. The same car, different codes. So the American-built WMIs are not claimed here and no code is carried across a plant boundary.
The model tier is large, 394 rows. The variant tier is nearly empty, six rows, because positions 6 and 7 do not carry trim in Hyundai's scheme in any form the filings pin down. That is a limit of the source and the page would rather say so than fill it in.
| WMI | Built by | Country of manufacture |
|---|---|---|
| KMH | Hyundai Motor Company | South Korea |
| KM8 | Hyundai Motor Company | South Korea |
