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.
5BA-ZDDDS
Listed 2025–2026. 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-ZDDDS against ULEZ and clean air zones.
| Engine | Gearbox | Drive | Weight | Seats | Fuel economy | Listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Z12E1,197 cc petrol | CVT automatic | front-wheel drive | 990 kg | 5 | 22.6 km/L64 mpg, Japanese JC08 test | 2025–2026 |
| Z12E1,197 cc petrol | CVT automatic | front-wheel drive | 990 kg | 5 | 22 km/L62 mpg, WLTC test | 2026 |
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.
ZDDDS 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.
| Built | Chassis numbers |
|---|---|
| 2023 | ZDDDS-100010 to 100223 |
| 2024 | ZDDDS-100224 to 101146 |
| 2025 | ZDDDS-101147 to 101990 |
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 a ZDDDS before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start ZDDDS-, 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 ZDDDS have?
MLIT lists the Suzuki Swift ZDDDS with Z12E 1,197 cc petrol.
What fuel economy does the ZDDDS get?
Officially between 22 and 22.6 km/L (about 62–64 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 ZDDDS?
990 kg kerb weight.
Is 5BA-ZDDDS the same as ZDDDS?
Yes. 5BA-ZDDDS is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and ZDDDS is the model code. The chassis number starts with ZDDDS-.
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.
