Where is the Civic Vehicle Identification Number?
2 Answers
The Civic Vehicle Identification Number is located at the lower edge of the windshield. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is like a car's ID card, containing information such as the manufacturer, year, model, body type and code, engine code, and assembly location. Taking the Civic 2021 HATCHBACK 220TURBO Manual Fun Control as an example: it is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, with a top speed of 210 km/h. The engine of the Civic 2021 HATCHBACK 220TURBO Manual Fun Control has a maximum horsepower of 177, uses front-wheel drive, tire specifications are 215/50R17, and the power steering type is electric.
I've been driving a Civic for several years. The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is usually located on the dashboard at the lower left corner of the windshield, visible from outside the car as a small metal strip engraved with a series of numbers and letters. This number is extremely important, used for tasks like vehicle transfer or warranty claims. If it's dirty and hard to read, you can check the inner door frame on the driver's side or the label under the hood—the locations are generally the same. Once, I accidentally blurred it while washing the car, so I bought an anti-fog spray to protect it, preventing further wear. For routine maintenance, I regularly take photos and save them on my phone, which is super handy when selling the car or filing insurance claims. Don’t worry about not finding it—the Civic’s design is quite user-friendly. Also, remember to check the vehicle manual for additional backup locations it might mention.
