Where is the VIN number located on the Roewe W5?
2 Answers
Roewe W5's VIN number is located on the driver's side of the front windshield, and it can also be found on the B-pillar of either the driver's or passenger's side. The VIN is a 17-character serial number consisting of digits and letters. It serves as a unique identifier for the vehicle, containing information about the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. The Roewe W5 is Shanghai Automotive's first SUV model, with dimensions of 4676mm in length, 1888mm in width, and 1765mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2740mm. The vehicle features a multifunctional leather steering wheel that integrates commonly used controls such as volume adjustment, Bluetooth hands-free operation, and cruise control, providing convenience for the driver.
I've driven a Roewe W5 myself and found that the VIN is most commonly located at the bottom of the windshield. Sitting in the driver's seat, you can clearly see it engraved on the black border at the lower right corner of the glass. It's a combination of letters and numbers, similar to a car's ID number, used for identifying maintenance records. Additionally, it can be found on the door frame—specifically, after opening the driver's side door, the same number is printed on a label attached to the B-pillar. If you inspect the engine compartment, you might also find it on a small plate near the engine. The VIN is crucial to avoid mistakes in buying, selling, or insurance, so I recommend checking multiple locations to ensure consistency. Once, a colleague's car had mismatched VINs after an accident, causing a lot of trouble, so knowing how to locate it saves a lot of hassle. You can casually jot it down during daily use.
