U5Y

The first three characters of every VIN are the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI). The code U5Y is assigned to Kia Motors Slovakia, with the country of manufacture Slovakia.

So any 17-character VIN that begins with U5Y was produced by Kia Motors Slovakia:

U5YZZZ0000000000000

The WMI only identifies the maker. To read the year, engine, plant and serial number, decode the complete 17-digit VIN with our free tool — then check which ECU it uses and what tuning services (DPF, EGR, AdBlue, DTC off, Stage) are available.
