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 Xia, M9, eMax 9 DM-i and Linghui M9 are the same car, so the badge does not identify the parts. It is a different car from the Denza D9, which is a more luxurious MPV, and from the eMAX 7 (M6), which is electric. Seat layout and battery size vary by trim and market. 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.
