Japanese Wagon R FX, FZ and Stingray: identify the exact MH55S chassis
Suzuki Japan identifies 2017 MH55S mild-hybrid and MH35S non-hybrid versions separately, and distinguishes 2WD/4WD JC08 fuel economy. Imported Japanese Wagon R and India Maruti WagonR are not the same vehicle.

Start with the right car—not just the badge
These original Japan specifications are RESEARCH references for Sri Lankan readers, not proof of current Sri Lankan sales, registration, import eligibility, vehicle valuation, local fuel economy or exact service applicability. Verify chassis code and build date on the individual import.

Exact engine, trim and drivetrain questions
Each comparison below uses original maker documents. Do not copy values between India K10C/K12N/Z12 cars and Japan 0.66L kei configurations; they have different production specifications and certification cycles.

Original Sri Lanka BYD distributor brochures compare ATTO 1 Dynamic/Premium with Dolphin Dynamic/Premium battery packs, NEDC test-cycle range and maximum charging power. These are all battery-electric vehicles, not mild-hybrid MH55S Wagon R models. Local BYD warranty conditions are separate from European warranty announcements.

Same name does not mean identical parts
India's Maruti Alto K10 and WagonR have distinct powertrains from Japan's 660 cc Suzuki Alto and Wagon R. An identical name or engine displacement is not proof of identical oil quantity, gearbox type, tyre placard pressure, smart-key battery or service parts.
For a real repair, consult the original market-and-year owner manual and chassis plate. Sri Lanka import and registration requirements, local market valuations and actual sales volumes are outside these Japanese original-manufacturer specification tables.
