Question ZC6/ZN6...???

I am trying to understand this so if someone can explain to me how are these names created. Does each letter represent something? whats the difference?
Is ZN6 better than ZC6? Why?

I am just trying to wrap my head around this name scheme and what it represents and such because I feel like I am out of the loop here.


Update.
Ah!
Thanks for explaining that to me guys.

Clearly the ZC6 code is much more refined and generally better.

Whenever I search the chassis code for the 2017 Toyota variant, I can't find it, you know if it's the same or different?
