The Suzuki Samurai window sticker — build, options & years

The Suzuki Samurai ran from 1986–1996. Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, built around the 1.3L, 4-cyl, Regular fuel, 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive powertrain.

What the Suzuki Samurai 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 Samurai, latest tested year 1995:

The label also prints an estimated $2,500 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 355 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Samurai under Special Purpose Vehicles, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.

How the Samurai's sticker figure changed

Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1986 to 1995. Worth checking before you compare a Samurai sticker from one year with another:

The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

What's on the Suzuki Samurai sticker

Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 25 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Every Samurai 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 Suzuki Samurai

  1. WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
  2. Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Samurai, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
  3. DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Suzuki Samurai all three must show the same number.

All four must match. A Suzuki Samurai 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.

Window sticker — frequently asked

What MPG does the Suzuki Samurai window sticker show?

The EPA figures on file are 25 mpg combined (24 city / 26 highway), from its 1995 rating, with an estimated $2,500 a year in fuel printed alongside.

Is the recreated Suzuki Samurai 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 Suzuki Samurai may differ from another.

Where do I find the VIN on a Suzuki Samurai?

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.
