Where to find the VIN
On most cars the VIN is visible at the base of the windscreen (driver side) and on a label in the driver-side door opening; check your registration document too.
China-spec vs export-spec
The DM-i and EV versions have completely different drivetrains and platforms, so the version matters. It is not the Sealion 05, 07 or 08, or the older Song Plus. The EV was updated in March 2026, and in some European markets the Sealion 6 is sold as the Seal U. Charging inlets differ by market: China-spec cars use the GB/T standard and export versions are built for the destination market. Send the VIN.
