Where is the nameplate located on the Lavida?
2 Answers
The nameplate of the Lavida is located under the hood, inside the engine compartment, on the plastic cover of the bumper on the left side of the engine. The dimensions of the Lavida are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm and a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. The Lavida is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110kW, a maximum power speed of 5000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 250Nm. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent front suspension, and the rear suspension type is torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
To locate the vehicle identification plate of a Lavida, as a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, it's typically found in two main spots. One is at the bottom left of the windshield, easily visible from the driver's seat as a small label stuck along the glass edge, positioned low to avoid being obscured. The other is inside the engine compartment; pop the hood and you'll spot a metal plate on the firewall or near a bracket, engraved with the VIN and manufacturing details. The VIN is crucial—it's checked during purchase or transfer to ensure the car isn't problematic, and all maintenance records are tracked using it. From my experience, start with the windshield since it's easier to inspect. If you notice any smudges, avoid wiping hastily to prevent blurring that could hinder identification. If that doesn't work, check inside the compartment, but be cautious of hot components—safety first.
