Fuel economy is from Japan’s official tests and is usually better than you’ll see on UK roads. MLIT doesn’t list power or torque.
DAA-MH44S
Listed 2015–2017. The DAA prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means hybrid passenger car certified to Japan’s 2005 emissions rules, 75% below their limits. Check DAA-MH44S against ULEZ and clean air zones.
| Engine | Gearbox | Drive | Weight | Seats | Fuel economy | Listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| R06A658 cc petrol | CVT automatic | four-wheel drive | 830–870 kg | 4 | 26.4–30.8 km/L75–87 mpg, Japanese JC08 test | 2015–2017 |
| R06A658 cc petrol | CVT automatic | front-wheel drive | 780–820 kg | 4 | 28–33 km/L79–93 mpg, Japanese JC08 test | 2015–2017 |
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.

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 MH44S before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start MH44S-, 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 MH44S have?
MLIT lists the Suzuki Wagon R MH44S with R06A 658 cc petrol.
What fuel economy does the MH44S get?
Officially between 26.4 and 33 km/L (about 75–93 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 MH44S?
Between 780 and 870 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.
Is DAA-MH44S the same as MH44S?
Yes. DAA-MH44S is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and MH44S is the model code. The chassis number starts with MH44S-.
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.
