How the XTA prefix is built
Under ISO 3780, the three WMI characters break down like this:
Character 1 — region
“X” places the manufacturer in Europe.
Characters 1–2 — country
“XT” identifies the assigning country: Russia.
Character 3 — manufacturer / division
“A” narrows it to AvtoVAZ.
Where Lada XTA vehicles are built
Vehicles with a XTA VIN are associated with AvtoVAZ, Russia. Note that a single carmaker uses different WMIs for different plants, so the XTA prefix points to this specific origin — not simply to the Lada brand.
