Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles
The Google product category ID for Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles is 503031. It sits under Motor Vehicles and has 2 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 2 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles is the largest of the 6 categories under Motor Vehicles, with 2 categories below it. Size is not correctness — a small category is the right answer when it is the right answer — but it does tell you how much of the taxonomy you are still choosing between once you pick this branch.
Off-Road and All-Terrain VehiclesATVs & UTVs
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at ATVs & UTVs (3018) on level 5: Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles › ATVs & UTVs. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (503031) or the full path ("Vehicles & Parts > Vehicles > Motor Vehicles > Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 2 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |

| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Vehicles & Parts > Vehicles > Motor Vehicles > Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 503031, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles
2 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.
All 2 of them are leaves: none of the subcategories under Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles continues any further, so one of those 2 names is the most specific value this branch can give you.
Questions about Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles
What is the Google product category ID for Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles?
503031. The full path, "Vehicles & Parts > Vehicles > Motor Vehicles > Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Should I use Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles has 2 directly below it, starting with ATVs & UTVs (3018), Go Karts & Dune Buggies (2528), and 2 in total further down. 503031 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Motor Vehicles (1267). The chain from the top is Vehicles & Parts → Vehicles → Motor Vehicles → Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles. If your product does not belong under Motor Vehicles, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Motor Vehicles first — there are 5 other categories at this level: Cars, Trucks & Vans (916), Golf Carts (3931), Motorcycles & Scooters (919), Recreational Vehicles (920), Snowmobiles (3549). If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Motor Vehicles (1267) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles?
1 level more. The longest route down from Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles is Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles > ATVs & UTVs, ending at ATVs & UTVs (3018) on level 5. Not every branch below Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Off-Road and All-Terrain Vehicles compared with the categories next to it?
It is the largest of the 6 at its level, carrying 2 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
