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

This guide shows the VIN (chassis number) locations on the Toyota C-HR (C-HR+) [2022-2022], covering the quickest “scan-and-go” spots and the hidden stamped numbers used for verification.

Chassis Number Locations

1) Driver-side door jamb / B-pillar VIN label

• Where to look: Open the driver door and check the B-pillar/door jamb area below the latch striker. You’ll find a black/white manufacturer sticker with the VIN, plus paint code and weight ratings.
• Access: Very low difficulty. No tools needed—just open the door and wipe dust off the sticker if needed.
• Note: On RHD cars, this label is typically on the right-side (driver) door opening for that market.
• Tip: For the cleanest, fastest result, scan the sticker with your phone instead of hand-typing a long VIN and risking a 0/O or 1/I mistake.

2) VIN plate at the windshield (dashboard, lower left)

• Where to look: From outside the car, look through the windshield at the lower driver-side corner. The VIN sits on a plate under the glass on top of the dashboard.
• Access: Low difficulty, but glare/reflections can block the characters.
• Note: This is a standard “walk-up” VIN check point—great for quick verification in a parking lot.
• Tip: If reflections are bad, change your angle slightly and capture it instantly using the VIN scanner so you don’t misread characters through the glass.

3) Floor VIN stamp under the front right seat rail (under carpet flap)

• Where to look: Check the front footwell floor on the right side of the cabin—commonly under the front right seat. Slide the seat all the way back, then lift the pre-cut carpet flap near the seat rails to expose the VIN stamped into the metal cross-member.
• Access: Moderate difficulty. You’ll be working low in the cabin; lighting is poor and the stamp may be dusty.
• Note: On LHD cars this is commonly the passenger-side front seat area, but if you don’t find it, check the driver-side footwell area too.
• Tip: It’s usually dark down there—use ScanVin’s flashlight + OCR so you can read the stamping without awkwardly holding a light and trying to write it down.

4) Engine bay firewall/bulkhead stamp (near windshield cowl)

• Where to look: Open the hood and look toward the top center of the firewall/bulkhead, just under the windshield cowl. On some cars it’s partly hidden by plastic trim, so you may need a steep viewing angle.
• Access: Moderate difficulty. Shadows from the hood/cowl and light grime can make it hard to read.
• Note: This location can be market/trim dependent—not every C-HR will present it clearly.
• Tip: If the stamping looks faint under shadows, use High Contrast scanning to pull the characters out without scrubbing aggressively.

5) Engine block number (stamped on engine)

• Where to look: A vertical stamp on a flat machined surface of the engine block (exact spot varies slightly by engine type).
• Access: High difficulty. Tight angles, poor light, and it’s often greasy/oily.
• Note: This is more of a verification point than a convenient VIN scan location.
• Tip: If you need it for matching paperwork, clean the area lightly and try High Contrast AI scanning to avoid misreading oily, shallow characters.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Windshield VIN glare: If sunlight reflects off the glass, move your viewpoint left/right and tilt the phone slightly to avoid reflections.
• Under-seat floor stamp hard to read: Slide the seat fully, lift the carpet flap, and scrub dirt lightly—stamped metal can disappear under dust or light surface corrosion.
• Door jamb label concerns: If the sticker looks tampered, missing, or freshly replaced, verify the VIN against the windshield plate and the stamped floor VIN before trusting it.
