There is some inconsistency with these codes and also what the Genius team tell you. For me, 165 meant the car had been produced and was sat at the factory in China (Genius were telling me my car was on its way from USA to Bremerhaven!). It then went to 193 when it had arrived at the port in Dalian (which is about 250 miles from the factory) then to 195 when it was loaded onto the ship.

If you ask your dealer for the VIN, you can then do a VIN check online which will tell you the official production date. If that date is before about 1st July then your car should be on the Grand Orion.

https://www.mdecoder.com is what I used to get my production date.
