Free Suzuki VIN Decoder & Lookup

What is a VIN Number?

How to Find It

Finding your Suzuki's VIN is straightforward. Here’s where to look:

• Passenger Cars: Check the front of the dashboard on the driver's side. View it from outside the vehicle through the windshield. Also, inspect the driver's side door pillar—open the door to find the VIN where the door latches.
• SUVs: Look in similar locations as passenger cars, focusing on the driver's side door pillar and the front of the dashboard.

If you're unable to locate the VIN on your Suzuki, it can also be found on:

• Your vehicle's title documents.
• Liability insurance documents.

How to Check a Specific Number

Enter your Suzuki's 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the field above to look up and receive an instant report on its manufacturer, brand, make and model, body style, engine size, assembly plant, and model year. The information is provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) from the data submitted by the manufacturers to NHTSA. The VIN Decoder lookup is intended for use with Suzuki vehicles manufactured since 1981. Whether you own a Suzuki Vitara, a GSX-R, or any other Suzuki model, this tool is the best way to get a detailed build sheet or chart specific to your vehicle.
