5AA-YEH1S
Listed 2023–2024. The 5AA prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means hybrid passenger car certified to Japan’s 2018 emissions rules, 50% below their limits. Check 5AA-YEH1S 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 a YEH1S before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start YEH1S-, 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 YEH1S have?
MLIT lists the Suzuki Escudo YEH1S with K15C 1,460 cc petrol or K15C-PB03A 1,460 cc petrol.
What fuel economy does the YEH1S get?
Officially between 19.6 and 23.5 km/L (about 55–66 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 YEH1S?
1,320 kg kerb weight.
Is 5AA-YEH1S the same as YEH1S?
Yes. 5AA-YEH1S is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and YEH1S is the model code. The chassis number starts with YEH1S-.
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.
