5BA-MH85S
Listed 2020–2026. The 5BA prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means petrol passenger car certified to Japan’s 2018 emissions rules, 50% below their limits. Check 5BA-MH85S against ULEZ and clean air zones.

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.

Check an MH85S before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start MH85S-, 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.

What engine does the MH85S have?
MLIT lists the Suzuki Wagon R MH85S with R06D 657 cc petrol.
What fuel economy does the MH85S get?
Officially between 23 and 26.8 km/L (about 65–76 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 MH85S?
Between 730 and 800 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.
Is 5BA-MH85S the same as MH85S?
Yes. 5BA-MH85S is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and MH85S is the model code. The chassis number starts with MH85S-.
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.
