Where is the VIN number located on the Audi Q5?
2 Answers
Audi Q5's VIN number is located at the lower right corner of the front windshield. The VIN, short for Vehicle Identification Number, is a unique code assigned by the manufacturer to identify a vehicle. It consists of 17 alphanumeric characters and is also known as the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. Taking the 2018 Audi Q5 Classic Edition Progressive as an example, its dimensions are 4629mm in length, 1898mm in width, and 1655mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2807mm. The body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV, equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I recently bought an Audi Q5, and the location for rubbing the VIN is actually quite easy to find. It's mainly on the right side of the lower corner of the windshield—just lean in from outside the car, and you'll see a string of numbers engraved on that black strip, very clearly. When I did the rubbing myself, I used transparent tape, pressed it gently, and then peeled it off, leaving the imprint. Additionally, there's also an engraving near the wipers under the hood, but you'll need to open the hood to find it. I recommend checking the location during regular maintenance to avoid dust covering it. If you find it difficult to locate, flip through the owner's manual or ask fellow car owners—most people find it in the same spot. Rubbing the VIN is necessary for registration or transfer; it even helped me during my resale process.
