GET THE APPLICATION RIGHT
The body style matters
Matching badges can appear on different bodies and generations. Use the chassis code together with your VIN and build date.
The series above cover convertible · coupé · sedan · wagon. Each series lists its own recorded vehicle versions.
Some source records combine several chassis codes. Those codes are shown together; individual versions remain listed separately.
About the vehicles in this guide
This guide includes cars, SUVs, people movers and utes with a recorded production period overlapping 1990 onward. Commercial vans and trucks are outside this selection. A vehicle built before 1990 can appear if its production continued into that period.
The available catalogue includes vehicle versions first recorded up to Feb 2022. Newer models may be missing. “From” means the catalogue has no end date; it does not confirm that a vehicle is still in production. Catalogue dates are not Australian registration or sale dates. Confirm your actual vehicle before using specifications or ordering parts.
Your VIN, build month and body style help distinguish cars with the same badge.
