Where is the engine number of Suzuki Swift located?

The engine number of the Suzuki Swift is located at the bottom of the engine, near the connection point with the transmission. The engine number consists of a prefix, middle section, suffix, and tail section. It is a unique identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, industry standards, or company practices, indicating the specific model, production date, and origin of the vehicle. The Suzuki Swift has dimensions of 3765mm in length, 1690mm in width, and 1510mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2390mm. It features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. For suspension, the front uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I remember helping a friend locate the Swift's engine number, spending quite some time in the engine compartment. You need to crouch down and look at the metal surface where the engine and transmission connect, near the area below the radiator. Wipe off the grease with a cloth, and you'll see the stamped number. For the older 1.3L models, it's on the left side of the engine block, while the 1.5L's is near the exhaust manifold. Last time, a mechanic taught me to use a phone flashlight at an angle—the reflection makes it clearer. Actually, the VIN is easier to find at the lower left corner of the windshield, but the engine number is required for annual inspections and ownership transfers. It's best to use a small mirror and flashlight to avoid wasting time lying under the car. For some very old models, you might even need to lift the chassis to see it.
