¿Qué es el VIN de un Suzuki?

After the collapse of the cotton market in the 1950s, Suzuki shifted its focus from looms to cars and motorcycles. Through an agreement with GM, they sold the Cultus as the Chevy Sprint in 1985 before entering the American market under their name with the launch of the 1986 Samurai. In 2004, Suzuki and GM bought Daewoo Motors, bringing the Daewoo-built Forenza, Reno, and Verona into their lineup. Sales reached their peak in 2006, but they quickly dropped during the Great Recession. Suzuki exited the U.S. car market in 2012. However, they're still the 5th largest seller of motorcycles and ATVs in America.

Whether you want one of Suzuki's legendary off-roaders or looking for one of their practical hatchbacks, we can help you with your vehicle search. EpicVIN's online DMV VIN check tells you all the information encoded in the VIN, making it easy to compare factory information with sales listings. Once you've narrowed your choices, use our VIN reports to get detailed information on the vehicle histories, including accidents, thefts and, title changes.

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) identifies individual vehicles. It isn't just a serial number. All the digits identify specific details about the vehicle. Including where and when the vehicle was manufactured, its equipment level, and engine. Using our Suzuki VIN lookup, you can find tons of information about the vehicle with its VIN and compare it to the information in the vehicle's sales listings. Doing this helps you verify the vehicle's authenticity while ensuring it's the model you want to buy.

Getting VIN information is easy: type the number into the search block and click «Check VIN». Need to look up vehicle information and don't have the VIN handy? We also have a license plate lookup tool. If you know the plate number and state of the vehicle, our site can find the VIN registered under the plate and related information.

If you want to know more about a vehicle, order a VIN report. This service includes vehicle owner lookup, as well as information gathered from a variety of government and commercial databases. Using this information, we can build a complete vehicle history, including accident claims, title brands, and lien information. These reports help you identify and avoid vehicles that have hidden damage or legal issues.

¿Dónde buscar el VIN?

To decode the VIN, first, you need to find it. The VIN is used to identify the vehicle on official documents; therefore, it can be found on the title, registration, insurance policy, and sometimes service receipts. Suzuki also places the VIN around the vehicle, making it easy to identify.

Standing next to the driver's side door, look through the windshield next to the wiper cowl. You should see a small metal plate with the VIN number on the dashboard.

On some older vehicles, like the Sidekick and Samurai, the VIN is printed on the driver's side A-pillar or the side of the dash. You can only see the dash plate when the door is open. There is a sticker with model information on most other vehicles on the driver's side B-pillar. Open the door and look for this sticker near the door latch.

Look under the hood. There are four places where Suzuki prints the VIN in the engine compartment:

  • On a manufacturer's plate attached to the driver's side of the firewall.
  • On the center of the firewall.
  • On the front lip of the cowl. Some vehicles have a cutout on the cowl that exposes the sheet metal with the VIN stamp.
  • On or just behind the passenger-side shock tower.

Don't forget you can use EpicVIN for a motorcycle VIN check. On motorcycles, Suzuki puts the VIN on a plate or sticker on or near the steering head, just below the handlebars. On four-wheelers, the VIN is stamped somewhere on the back of the frame, usually next to one of the mudguards. On scooters, the VIN is printed on a plate attached to the lower fairing, on the right side down tube of the frame, and on the left side of the engine crankcase.

Position 4 – Model or Displacement

This identifies the nameplate, whether it's a Vitara, Swift, Esteem, XL7 or something else from Suzuki's lineup. Model designations change from year to year.

On motorcycles, this digit is used for the displacement. The higher the letter, the larger the engine is: an “A” is used for 49cc engines, while a bike with a “Z” has a displacement of 1,500cc or more.

Position 5 – Body Style or Engine Type

Suzuki motorcycles use this position for the model revision. This starts with “A”, then “B” for the first update, “C” for the second and so on.

Position 7 and 8: Design and Trim

This is the vehicle's version and trim level. The meaning of this character varies from model to model. On motorcycles, position 8 is almost always “A”, since just one version of the motorcycle is sold. Different characters may be used for bikes with major equipment options, like ABS.

Position 9 – Check Digit

This is generated by a mathematical formula that uses other digits in the VIN as inputs. This check digit helps eliminate data entry errors.

Position 10 – Year of Production

This alternates between numbers 1-9 and letters excluding “I”, “O”, “Q”, “U” and “Z”.

A 2023 model uses “P”, while numbers were last used between 2001 and 2009.

Position 11 – Assembly Plant

Most U.S. cars and SUVs were built in one of three plants:

2: Suzuki Kosai, Japan

3: Suzuki Iwata, Japan

6: Ingersoll, Canada

Position 12-17 – Serial number

Since there are only 6 digits reserved for the serial number, these numbers are reused. However, no two vehicles will have an identical VIN.

Preguntas frecuentes

Las ubicaciones cambian de un fabricante a otro, pero hay tres zonas en las que se puede encontrar el código en la mayoría de los vehículos:

- Mira en el salpicadero a través del parabrisas. En el lado del conductor, deberías ver una pequeña placa metálica con el número estampado en ella.
- Abre la puerta del conductor. Busca una pegatina de identificación en la parte frontal y en el lateral del marco de la puerta. Suele incluir el logo del fabricante. El código debería aparecer en esa pegatina.
- Abre el capó. Puede que veas una pegatina en el cortafuegos o al lado de la barra antitorsión del lado del pasajero. Algunos autos tienen el número grabado en una de estas partes.

Puesto que este número se usa para identificar al vehículo en documentos oficiales, también lo puedes encontrar en el título, la pegatina de la ventana y las pólizas de seguros.

También decodificamos números de vehículos recreativos, camiones pesados y motos. Si necesitas decodificar el número de un vehículo recreativo, asegúrate de que sea el emitido por el fabricante del chasis, no el del proveedor de servicios de equipamiento adicional.

No. Los vehículos canadienses y mexicanos suelen tener el mismo formato. Otros países utilizan sus propios formatos.

Es el fabricante quien determina lo que se incluye en algunas partes del número. Por ejemplo, algunas empresas no incluyen información sobre la transmisión o los niveles de equipamiento.

Normalmente, no. Hay pocos fabricantes que estampan el código dentro del motor. En esos casos, si el VIN del motor y el del auto coinciden, se trata del motor original. En cambio, en la mayoría de los vehículos no hay nada que vincule un motor a un vehículo específico. Como mucho, buscar el vehículo en nuestra web te dirá si se ha instalado otro tipo de motor. Por ejemplo, si alguien pone un V8 en un Ford Mustang, nuestra página te dirá que originalmente traía un V6.
