Buick Encore: Vehicle Identification / Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

This legal identifier is in the front corner of
the instrument panel, on the driver side of
the vehicle. It can be seen through the
windshield from outside. The Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) also appears on
the Vehicle Certification label and certificates
of title and registration.
Engine Identification
The eighth character in the VIN is the
engine code. This code identifies the
vehicle's engine, specifications, and
replacement parts. See “Engine
Specifications” under Capacities and
Specifications 0 280 for the vehicle's
engine code.
There may be a large barcode on the
certification label on the center pillar that
you can scan for the following information:
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Model designation
Paint information

If there is not a large barcode on this label,
then you will find this same information on
