The Subaru RX window sticker — build, options & years
The Subaru RX ran from 1986–1989. Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price.
Which year's sticker do I need? Any Subaru RX VIN works — ForCar reads the exact model year automatically. On owner data the cleanest years are 1986, 1987, 1988; the most-complained-about are 1989, 1988, 1987. For year-by-year recalls, MPG and safety, see the full Subaru RX VIN decoder.
What the Subaru RX sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the RX, latest tested year 1985:
The label also prints an estimated $2,600 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles.
What's on the Subaru RX sticker
Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 24 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Every RX VIN returns its own build rather than a generic spec.
For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost, and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

Where to find the VIN on a Subaru RX
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every RX, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Subaru RX all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Subaru RX whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.

What MPG does the Subaru RX window sticker show?
The EPA figures on file are 24 mpg combined (22 city / 28 highway), from its 1985 rating, with an estimated $2,600 a year in fuel printed alongside.
Is the recreated Subaru RX sticker the same as the original?
It rebuilds the factory equipment, EPA fuel economy and NHTSA safety from official records, so the core Monroney content matches. Dealer-added options and destination charges vary by sale, so the printed total on one Subaru RX may differ from another.
Where do I find the VIN on a Subaru RX?
Lower-left of the windshield, the driver's door-jamb sticker, or the registration and insurance documents — all three must agree. For what a window sticker is, how to read each block and what to do if yours is lost, see the window sticker guide.
