Where is the VIN number located on the Roewe RX5?

[Fred]

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.

I've been driving my Roewe RX5 for over three years and have some practical experience in locating the VIN. The lower left corner of the windshield is the most effortless spot - you can check the clarity of the stamped numbers while washing your car. However, it's truly hard to see during rainy days or when there's glare. That's when you need Plan B - slide the passenger seat all the way back and crouch down to feel for the stamping on the floor near the foot pedal. The VIN is pressed directly into the vehicle body. Once when I checked with a flashlight, I found it completely covered in dust and had to wipe it down with a wet cloth for a long time before it became visible. If you suspect the car has been in an accident, you'll need to check the identical VIN stamp on the radiator support in the engine bay. But leaning over the hood not only gets your clothes dirty but also risks burns. I recommend checking the VIN on the right front wheel well beam using a lift at a repair shop for safer inspection.

I just researched the VIN locations when getting my Roewe RX5 inspected. First check the lower left corner of the windshield - the plastic tag has clear printing. But with strong glare or dark tint, you'll need to move to the front passenger footwell - not on the carpet, you must lift the footrest mat to see the 17-digit code stamped directly on the metal frame. A mechanic taught me a trick: if both spots are worn, there's a third backup stamp on the right front wheel beam, but you'll need to remove the wheel arch liner or lift the car. Always bring rubbing paper when checking VINs - rubbing sideways with a pencil gives clearer imprints than phone photos.
