Jaguar VIN decoder

Jaguar Land Rover's VIN tables are short. Position 4 names the model, and positions 5 to 8 are a single trim code standing for the trim, GVWR, body, engine, transmission, drive and restraints together. This Jaguar VIN decoder chart follows the 2026 F-PACE table with SADCT2EXXTA000001, a test VIN we made from that table with a computed check digit; it isn't a car we traced.

The F-PACE is the only Jaguar in vPIC's model lists for 2025 and 2026. JLR's 2026 table, filed in February 2026, has four trim codes:

Jaguar filed the Type 01's VIN table with NHTSA on October 8, 2026, for the 2028 model year. It starts with SAJ, the passenger car code, puts E in position 4 for the Type 01, and uses W for 2028 and A for Solihull. Every version in the filing is a 4-door sedan with three electric motors, an 850-volt high-nickel lithium-ion battery, a single-speed transmission, all-wheel drive and 1,015 hp.

Two trim codes cover three versions. 94T1 is the trim the filing lists as "1030", and V4T1 covers both the Limited Edition Design Vision and the Limited Edition Chromatic Moments, so the VIN can't tell those two apart. vPIC already decodes the pattern: our test VIN SAJE94T16WA000001, built from the filing with a computed check digit, came back as a 2028 Jaguar Type 01, trim 1030, battery electric with three motors, built in Solihull.

Both test VINs decode clean (error code 0) in NHTSA's vPIC database, which the decoder reads:

This 2010 XF went through an NHTSA crash test (test 7306), and the test record lists its VIN. NHTSA's vPIC database returns this for SAJWA0FA1AHR56146:

A vPIC search for manufacturers named Jaguar returns four codes. SAJ and SAD decode as Jaguar. SAL belongs to the same company, Jaguar Land Rover Limited, but decodes as Land Rover, so a SAL VIN belongs on the Land Rover VIN decoder. The fourth, 1J9586, is the code of Jaguar Manufacturing, Inc., an unrelated trailer maker.

vPIC lists 18 Jaguar model names, from the XJ6, XJS and Vanden Plas to the XE, XF, F-TYPE, E-PACE, I-PACE and Type 01. It decodes 17-character VINs, which start with the 1981 model year; an older Jaguar's chassis number belongs on the classic car VIN page.

Look through the windshield at the driver's side bottom corner: federal rules require the VIN to be readable there from outside the car (49 CFR 565.13). It's repeated on the certification label at the driver's door opening, next to the build month and year, and on the title and registration. Paint and options aren't in the VIN; see where to find the paint code.
