Japanese Vehicle Variant Verifications Certificate
Japanese automakers manufactures different variants of a specific model for the choice of buyer. Variants are created to improve the offerings to suit different customers choice and budget. Each of the variants have their own specifications and features. Basic variant models come with simple features, While higher grade/variant models come with almost everything, starting from GPS, Reverse camera, Super music system and whole lot of other features.
For example, 2022 model Toyota Alphard was available in 7 different models/variants as: X, S, GF, S-C, SC-Package, Executive Lounge and Executive Lounge-S. The price of each model/variant was different. Price for top model is almost double of basic model of 2022 Toyota Alphard.
However, sometime buyer are worried if they are getting right variant/grade vehicle they paid for, and sellers has not changed the emblem of low variant/low grade vehicles to high grade/high variant vehicle. To avoid “car-grade-fraud” or “car-variant-fraud” verification certificate for each unit can be issue.
Japan Inspection Organization (JIO) issued “Vehicle Grade Verification Certificate” also called “VGVC”. This certificate is available for all Make & Models of Japanese Domestic Model vehicles only. This Organization cannot issue VGVC for non-Japanese models and non-domestic models as well.
