Lexus VIN Number Meaning, Character by Character
A Lexus VIN follows the same layout as a Toyota, because Lexus is Toyota's luxury brand. This 2019 ES 350 shows what each part means.
58ABZ1B19KU024680: 2019 Lexus ES 350, 3.5 V6, front wheel drive, built in Kyushu, Japan

- The model line, body, engine and safety restraints. Read together, these say ES 350 with the 3.5 V6. The decoder turns them into plain English.

Lexus VIN Decoder Build Sheet: How to Get Yours
Lexus is one of the easier brands for this. Its own owner site will show the equipment for your VIN, free.
Lexus owner account
Add the VIN to a free Lexus owner account and open the vehicle specs. Lexus says this shows the standard and optional equipment, safety features and specifications for that VIN. Owners report older vehicles may show less detail.
Window sticker
The original Monroney sticker names every package, like the Premium or Luxury Package, plus port installed accessories and the price. A Lexus dealer can often reprint it, and some sites sell copies for a few dollars.
Door jamb codes
The C/TR line on the door label gives the paint and interior codes, and A/TM gives the axle and transmission. Decode them below.
Lexus Code Decoder
Paste codes from your window sticker, the C/TR line on the door jamb or the engine block. The decoder covers Lexus package and option codes, paint, interior trim, engines and port installed accessories.

Which Lexus Packages Should You Look For?
Lexus builds most of its options into packages. These are the ones that make the biggest difference to how a used Lexus feels and what it's worth.
| Package | What it usually adds | How to check |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Package | Leather trim, heated and ventilated front seats and upgraded wood or aluminum trim on many models | Leather and seat ventilation buttons |
| Luxury and Ultra Luxury | Semi aniline leather, power rear sunshade and more on ES, LS and LX | Rear sunshade switch and seat stitching |
| F SPORT | Sport styling, seats, wheels and on some models adaptive suspension | F SPORT badges, mesh grille and steering wheel paddles |
| Mark Levinson audio | Premium sound system, from 12 speakers up to 25 in the LX | Mark Levinson badges on the speakers or dash |
| Navigation package | Larger screen and built in navigation on older models | A map screen without a phone connected |
| Lexus Safety System+ | Pre collision, radar cruise and lane assist, standard on most models from about 2018 | A radar sensor behind the grille emblem |
Lexus VIN Decoder for Japan: Chassis Numbers and Model Codes
Lexus models sold new in Japan don't use a 17 character VIN. They carry a chassis number, made of a model code and a serial, like ASE30 followed by a short number. Our decoder reads 17 character VINs only, but the model code at the front tells you a lot on its own.
If you're looking at a Japanese import, check the model code against the table below and the engine code on the block. The door label on Japan market cars also carries the color and trim codes.
| Model code | What it is |
|---|---|
| GSE20 | IS 250, second generation |
| ASE30 | IS 200t and IS 300 with the 2.0 turbo |
| AVE30 | IS 300h hybrid |
| GSE31 | IS 350 |
| GRL10 | GS 350 |
| AWL10 | GS 300h hybrid |
| USF40 | LS 460 |
| AGZ10 | NX 200t and NX 300 |
| AYZ10 | NX 300h hybrid |
| URJ150 | GX 460 |
| URJ201 | LX 570 |
Which Lexus Do I Have? Generations by Model
Lexus generations last a long time, so the model year from the VIN usually pins it down.
| Model | Generations |
|---|---|
| IS | XE10 1999 to 2005, XE20 2006 to 2013, XE30 2014 on |
| ES | XV60 2013 to 2018, XV70 2019 on |
| RX | AL10 2010 to 2015, AL20 2016 to 2022, fifth generation 2023 on |
| NX | AZ10 2015 to 2021, AZ20 2022 on |
| GX | J120 GX 470, J150 GX 460, J250 GX 550 |
| LX | J100 LX 470, J200 LX 570, J300 LX 600 |
| LS | XF40 2007 to 2017, XF50 2018 on |
Lexus Engine Codes and Known Problems
Lexus has an excellent reputation, but a few engines and models have known weak spots. The model year and engine from the VIN tell you which apply.
| Engine or model | Found in | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5 V6, 4GR-FSE | IS 250, 2006 to 2015 | Carbon buildup on the intake valves, which causes rough running. Ask about intake cleaning. |
| 3.5 V6, 2GR | ES, RX, IS, GS, late 2000s | An oil cooler line that could leak on early engines. Check it has been replaced with the metal version. |
| Sticky dashboards | Several mid 2000s to early 2010s models | A soft, shiny or melting dash top. Lexus ran warranty programs on some. |
| Fuel pump recall | Many 2018 to 2020 models, including the ES | Run the full VIN for the low pressure fuel pump recall. |
| Rear air suspension | GX 460 and GX 470 | Check it holds height overnight. Many owners convert to coil springs. |
| 3.5 twin turbo V6, V35A | LX 600 and others | Some engines were recalled for machining debris. Check the VIN for open recalls. |
Check a Lexus VIN for Open Recalls
The decoder flags recall records for the model and year. Use the full VIN to see what's open on one vehicle.
In the US
Check the VIN in your Lexus owner account or on NHTSA's recall lookup. Lexus dealers do recall work free.
In Canada
Search the VIN on Lexus Canada's site or with Transport Canada.
Japanese imports
Models imported from Japan may not appear in US lookups. A Lexus dealer can check the chassis number with Toyota.

Lexus VIN Decoder FAQs
How do I get a Lexus build sheet by VIN?
Yes. Add your VIN to a free Lexus owner account and open the vehicle specs to see the standard and optional equipment. For the package names and price, get the original window sticker.
Is there a free Lexus VIN decoder?
Yes, this one. Model, engine, year, plant and recall records are all free to decode here.
Can I look up Lexus specifications by VIN?
Yes. Our decoder shows the engine, drivetrain and core specs, and your Lexus owner account shows the full equipment list.
Does the VIN show Lexus options?
Not directly. The VIN gives the model, engine and body. Options and packages come from the owner account, the window sticker or the dealer.
What does a Lexus VIN number mean?
Characters 1 to 3 are the maker and country, 4 to 8 the model, body and engine, 9 a check digit, 10 the year, 11 the plant and 12 to 17 the serial number.
How do I decode a Japanese Lexus chassis number?
Japan market Lexus models use a model code plus a serial instead of a 17 character VIN. The model code, like ASE30 for an IS 200t, tells you the model and engine.
What is a Lexus model code?
Toyota's internal code for a model and engine combination, like GSE31 for the IS 350 or URJ201 for the LX 570. It appears on Japanese chassis numbers and in parts catalogs.
How do I read the Lexus paint code on the door?
On the door jamb label after C/TR. The first three characters are the paint code, like 085 for Eminent White Pearl, and the rest is the interior code.
