Every Lexus RX 350 (2016–2022) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the 2T2 WMI. The RX 350 is a gas SUV; this page shows what each character of a Lexus RX 350 VIN means and gives 4 checksum-valid sample VINs you can drop straight into test fixtures. Synthetic — not real: no scraping, no real-owner data. The generator below is pre-filtered to the RX 350.
Each sample below is built from the real 2T2 WMI and the RX 350's descriptor, so it decodes to a Lexus RX 350 of the right model year:

Worked on the sample 2T2BZMCA7G0168774 — a 2016 Lexus RX 350:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | 2T2 | Marks the VIN as Lexus, built in Canada |
| 4–8 | VDS | BZMCA | Descriptor for the RX 350 — SUV body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 7 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | G | Code G = 2016 |
| 11 | Plant | 0 | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 168774 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Lexus RX 350 VIN read 2T2 — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Lexus, assembled in Canada (North America). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (BZMCA in our seed) describe the RX 350 itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the RX 350, 2016 is code G and 2022 is code N. See the 2022 year code or the check-digit math.

A Lexus RX 350 VIN is 17 characters starting with the 2T2 WMI, for example 2T2BZMCA7G0168774. Positions 4–8 describe the RX 350, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: 2T2 is the Lexus WMI, positions 4–8 are the RX 350 descriptor, position 9 verifies the VIN via a mod-11 checksum, position 10 gives the year, position 11 the plant, and 12–17 the serial. Paste any VIN into the decoder to do it automatically.
The RX 350 in our seed uses the 2T2 WMI (Canada). Any VIN beginning with 2T2 decodes to Lexus.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Lexus 2T2 WMI, and carry the RX 350's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Lexus RX 350. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
