Some codes are still to come - body codes of the coupe and hatchback and code for the Swindon plant. This tells us that the car was made in the Indiana plant (19X), is a turbo sedan (FC1), 4 door sedan w/ CVT (F), 2016 model year (G), produced in Indiana (E), and is the first 10th gen Civic off the line at Indiana (000001). So for example, the first 2016 Civic produced at the Indiana plant had a VIN of 19XFC1F74GE000001. #XX,XXX Civic made at the particular plant Numbers 10-17 are the Vehicle Identification Section (VIS) and identify the particular vehicle: Numbers 4-9 are the Vehicle Description Section (VDS) which tells you the model, body type, transmission, engine: Numbers 1-3 are the World Manufacturer Index (WMI) and tells you the country/region/plant car is made: Here are the components of the VIN for 2016+ Honda Civics: The engine model and serial number should be adequate for most of your needs.
All Honda engines model numbers start with the letter 'G,' such as 'G100', 'GX610', or 'GXV160.' This is the base engine model. Hopefully it'll prove helpful and also fun for owners to run their VINs through this. To find the model number, look for a model number sticker on the engine.
Here is a VIN translator that we've put together.
