Where is the VIN number in Toyota C-HR (Toyota C-HR II [2022-2022])?

This guide covers where to find the VIN (chassis number) on the Toyota C-HR II [2022-2022], including the quick-to-check label and the hidden stamped VIN used for verification.

Chassis Number Locations

Driver’s door jamb / B-pillar VIN label

• Where to look: Open the driver’s door and inspect the lower section of the B-pillar/door jamb for a black VIN sticker (often includes tire pressures and build info).
• Access: Easy access, but it can be shadowed by the open door and the sticker may fade/peel over time.
• Note: This is usually the easiest VIN to read on an LHD car.
• Tip: If the sticker is in shadow, use your phone to scan the label with the VIN reader instead of squinting at small text.

Floor VIN stamping (under front passenger seat)

• Where to look: Move the front passenger seat all the way back, then locate a rectangular plastic flap/cover cut into the carpet. Lift the flap to reveal the VIN stamped into the metal cross-member.
• Access: Requires you to slide the seat, lift the carpet flap, and deal with a tight, dark space. Dirt and carpet fibers can hide characters.
• Note: This VIN is under the front passenger seat. On LHD vehicles it’s commonly on the right-side floor; on RHD vehicles it’s commonly on the left-side floor—if you don’t see it, check the opposite front footwell.
• Tip: Because the stamping is low-contrast and under-seat lighting is poor, turn on a light and scan it with Flashlight + OCR so you don’t misread stamped characters.

Windshield VIN plate (dash visible through glass)

• Where to look: From outside the car, look through the windshield at the lower corner of the dashboard on the driver’s side (LHD) for the VIN plate/label.
• Access: Fast to check, but windshield glare/reflections and wiper-area debris can block a clean read.
• Note: On RHD cars this plate is typically visible at the opposite lower corner.
• Tip: If glare makes the numbers hard to copy, angle your phone and capture the VIN instantly by scanning it to avoid transcription errors.

Engine bay (firewall/bulkhead plate or stamping, varies)

• Where to look: Open the hood and inspect the center of the firewall/bulkhead, near the back of the engine bay below the windshield cowl. Some cars have a manufacturer plate riveted there; others may have markings partially hidden by trim/insulation.
• Access: Harder to reach with a phone—far back, often dusty/greasy, and you may need zoom (which reduces clarity).
• Note: Don’t confuse engine number/code markings with the 17-digit VIN—they’re different identifiers.
• Tip: When it’s awkward to lean in and write it down, scan the plate from a distance so you’re not trying to copy tiny characters in a tight engine-bay position.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Under-seat floor VIN won’t read: Slide the seat fully back, vacuum/brush debris, and use a flashlight at an angle to create shadows in the stamped characters.
• Windshield VIN glare: Clean the lower glass and change your viewing angle (early morning/evening light helps).
• Door jamb sticker issues: If the label is faded/peeling or missing, rely on the stamped floor VIN for the most reliable physical verification.
