Where is the VIN number of the Binyue located?
3 Answers
The VIN number of the Binyue is located near the driver's side on the front windshield and next to the front passenger seat, marked with the VIN code. The VIN, or Vehicle Identification Number, is a unique code assigned by the manufacturer to identify a vehicle. It consists of a 17-character alphanumeric sequence, also known as the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. As the first SUV model built on the BMA architecture, the Binyue is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine, delivering a peak torque of 255Nm, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. It also features advanced intelligent safety equipment and L2 autonomous driving assistance technology. The Binyue has body dimensions of 4330mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1609mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600mm and a fuel tank capacity of 45L.
Having driven for so many years, I've helped friends locate their VIN numbers many times, especially for cars like the Bin Yue. Typically, the VIN can be found in several places: on the upper left corner of the windshield near the driver's side, where you can glimpse that string of numbers and letters through the glass; or on the small label attached to the door frame pillar when you open the driver's door, easily visible with a touch; or by lifting the engine hood, on the metal frame or radiator at the front of the engine compartment. I find the most convenient method is using a phone flashlight, which helps in poor lighting without fumbling in the dark. I remember once a neighbor's car broke down, and the VIN was covered in grease—we had to scrub hard to see it. Now, I always advise them to take a photo and keep it on file, just in case it's needed for insurance claims or anti-theft tracking. The VIN is like a car's ID card; you need it for registration, transfer of ownership, or buying parts. It doesn't hurt to pay a little extra attention to it.
When I first got my Bin Yue, I was also curious about where the VIN was. After some exploration, I found it mainly located under the dashboard near the windshield, clearly visible when you look down. Another spot is on the label inside the door frame or the metal plate at the front of the engine bay. I usually check the diagram in the owner's manual first to confirm the location, then use a small flashlight for better visibility, avoiding strong light that might make it hard to see. Now, I always take a quick glance at it before any vehicle inspection, as the VIN is crucial for buying, selling, and theft prevention. In case of any accidents, it's also used to verify information. I recommend new car owners develop this habit—it's simple and practical, so you won't be scrambling when you actually need it.
