The Suzuki Sidekick window sticker — build, options & years
The Suzuki Sidekick ran from 1989–1998 across 2 generations (1989–1995, 1996–1998). 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 1.6L, 4-cyl, Regular fuel, 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive powertrain.

What the Suzuki Sidekick 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 Sidekick, latest tested year 1998:
The label also prints an estimated $2,850 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 410 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Sidekick under Special Purpose Vehicles, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Sidekick's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1989 to 1998. Worth checking before you compare a Sidekick sticker from one year with another:
The figure actually fell by 3 mpg across the span — usually a sign of added weight or power. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What's on the Suzuki Sidekick sticker
Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 22 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Every Sidekick 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 Sidekick
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Sidekick, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Suzuki Sidekick all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Suzuki Sidekick 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.

The EPA figures on file are 22 mpg combined (21 city / 24 highway), from its 1998 rating, with an estimated $2,850 a year in fuel printed alongside.
Is the recreated Suzuki Sidekick sticker the same as the original?
