Where is the chassis number stamping located on the GAC Xinglang?

The chassis number stamping on the GAC Xinglang is located on the engine block, and the chassis number can be seen below the front windshield. Introduction to the chassis number: The chassis number, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), has slight variations in meaning depending on the country or automobile manufacturer. The fourth to eighth digits represent the engine and transmission model, which must be cross-checked with the information on the assembly nameplate to ensure accuracy. Composition of the chassis number: The chassis number is a 17-character alphanumeric code used to represent vehicle information. Information represented includes: Manufacturer, production location, production year, engine chassis serial number, etc.
As an experienced driver who has driven many GAC models, I find that the VIN stamping locations on the GAC Xinglang are usually easiest to spot in two places: first, on the metal plate of the dashboard right under the lower edge of the windshield on the driver's side—just glance down and you'll see it; second, after opening the hood, it's also engraved on the nameplate of the front bulkhead in the engine compartment. The VIN is like a car's ID card, so make sure to note it when buying a used car or handling insurance. If the location isn't clear, try shining a phone light into the gaps. If that doesn’t work, check the user manual or ask directly at a 4S store for a more reliable solution. Regularly inspect it in well-lit parking spots to avoid last-minute chaos during emergencies. I’ve seen cases where people couldn’t find the VIN during car transfers, causing delays for days. So, from a beginner’s perspective, developing a habit of periodic checks can save a lot of trouble.
