Each row is one version as MLIT lists it. A version can appear twice when MLIT gave figures on two tests that year. Low-emission stars and trim names aren’t shown. MLIT gives fuel economy in km/L; the mpg figures are our conversion to UK gallons. Japanese tests are gentler than real UK driving, so expect less.
HE22S build year by chassis number
Japan’s carmakers list the chassis numbers each code was built with every year from 2015. Find the serial below, or use the build year finder.

| 2015 | HE22S-276597 to 279051HE22S-443121 to 445446HE22S-881120 to 891654 |
From the JAMA chassis number lists: 車台番号一覧表. We keep only the chassis code, serial ranges and year. JAMA calls them reference information, not a certificate.
Check an HE22S before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start HE22S-, and the engine and gearbox should match one of the versions above. Our free check reads the UK MOT history and compares it with the chassis code.

Questions
What engine does the HE22S have?
MLIT lists the Suzuki Alto Lapin HE22S with K6A 658 cc petrol.
What fuel economy does the HE22S get?
Officially between 19 and 26 km/L (about 54–73 mpg), depending on the version, on Japan’s own tests. Real-world figures are usually lower, especially against the older 10-15 mode test.
How heavy is the HE22S?
Between 790 and 870 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.
Is CBA-HE22S the same as HE22S?
Yes. CBA-HE22S is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and HE22S is the model code. The chassis number starts with HE22S-.
About these figures
The model types, engine codes, capacities, gearboxes, drive, weights, seats and km/L figures are copied from MLIT’s yearly lists of cars on sale in Japan each March, so “listed” years are list years, not exact production dates. The English model names, mpg conversions, emissions code explanations and chassis number matching are ours. Lists before 2013 were printed as PDFs that we read by machine; where an older list gives an engine code that doesn’t match its capacity, we’ve used the figure the same model type has in other years. Check anything that matters against the car’s own papers. Spotted a mistake? Email [email protected]. All Suzuki model codes.
