Where is the VIN number located on the Roewe RX5?

Roewe RX5's VIN number is located under the front passenger seat. Move the front passenger seat forward, and you can see it from the back. The VIN number consists of 17 characters, which can reveal the vehicle model, manufacturer, assembly location, engine code, and production date. Taking the 2020 Roewe RX5 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4556mm, width 1855mm, height 1719mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The 2020 Roewe RX5 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 169PS, maximum torque of 250Nm, maximum power of 124kW, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I found that the VIN of the Roewe RX5 is actually hidden in several common locations. The most obvious one is the lower left corner of the windshield, which can be seen directly from outside the car. Every time I inspect the car, I check there first. If the windshield tint is too dark to see clearly, I have to bend down to find the location under the driver's seat—specifically on the floor next to the passenger seat rail, where the stamped number can be seen by lifting the rubber mat. Once, when helping a friend check the accident history of a car, I also found the VIN on the front bulkhead in the engine compartment, near the radiator frame. However, crawling under the car is a hassle. The VIN is also stamped on the right front wheel beam, which requires using a phone flashlight to see. The 17-digit alphanumeric VIN is extremely important for checking maintenance records and buying insurance, so make sure to copy it accurately when taking a rubbing.
