Is there a Nissan window sticker lookup?
Not from Nissan itself. We found no public Nissan page that returns a window sticker by VIN, so a Nissan window sticker lookup for the original label ends at a Nissan dealer: give the dealer the VIN and ask for a copy. The first owner's paperwork is the other place it turns up.
The lookup on this page covers the rest for free. It decodes the VIN with NHTSA's vPIC and adds EPA fuel economy, NHTSA crash ratings and the recalls NHTSA lists for that model and year. What it can't rebuild is the price block: base MSRP, each option and package with its price, the destination charge and the dealer the car first shipped to.
How to get a copy of an original Nissan window sticker
Copy the full VIN
Take all 17 characters from the base of the windshield on the driver's side or from the label on the driver's door jamb. A VIN never uses I, O or Q, so a round character is always a zero.
Search the car's paperwork
Check the glove box and the deal jacket. First owners often keep the label with the sales contract.
Call a Nissan dealer
Ask the sales or service desk for a reprint of the original window sticker for that VIN. Stores don't all handle this the same way, so call before you drive over.
Contact Nissan if the dealer can't help
Nissan's customer service is the last stop. Have the VIN and model year ready.
Nissan LEAF and ARIYA range on the window sticker
Nissan's electric models carry the EV label: driving range, MPGe, kWh per 100 miles and the charging time at 240 volts. The 2026 LEAF shows how much the exact version matters. EPA rates the 75 kWh LEAF at:
- 303 miles on 18-inch steel wheels
- 288 miles on 18-inch alloy wheels
- 259 miles on 19-inch wheels
The 2025 LEAF was rated at 149 miles, or 212 for the LEAF SV, so check the model year before you compare listings. For 2026, ARIYA ratings run from 205 miles (e-4ORCE, 63 kWh) to 289 miles (front-wheel drive, 87 kWh).
A VIN doesn't record which wheels a car left the factory on, so the spec sheet shows range only when the decode points to a single EPA listing. Wheels move the number on a Tesla too: the 2026 Model Y Standard RWD is rated at 321 miles on 18-inch wheels and 303 on 19-inch.
Why two Nissans with the same engine show different fuel costs
A label's annual fuel cost depends on the fuel EPA lists, not just the mpg. Every 2026 Pathfinder uses the same 3.5-liter V6, but EPA lists the Rock Creek on premium: 21 mpg combined and $3,900 a year, against 23 mpg and $2,900 for a regular-fuel Pathfinder 4WD. Fuel type can matter even when the mpg doesn't change: EPA lists the Mazda CX-90 on regular and on premium at the same 25 mpg, with different annual costs. The Rogue Rock Creek is rated at 29 mpg, two less than a Rogue AWD.
Other 2026 combined ratings from EPA: Sentra 32 to 33 mpg, Kicks 30 to 31, Altima 30 with front-wheel drive and 28 with AWD, Rogue 32 with front-wheel drive, Frontier 18 to 21, and Armada 16 to 18 on premium fuel. EPA's annual cost figures use current fuel prices, so they won't match the dollar amount printed on an older label.
Where is the VIN on a Nissan, and what do the first characters mean?
Look through the windshield at the driver's side corner of the dashboard, or open the driver's door and read the label on the jamb, which also shows the month and year the car was built.
Per vPIC, Nissan North America uses 1N4 (cars), 1N6 (trucks) and 5N1 (SUVs); Nissan Mexicana uses 3N1, 3N6 and 3N8; and Nissan Motor Company in Japan uses JN1 and JN8. Most of these codes are shared with Infiniti, so the tool checks the make the VIN decodes to and flags an Infiniti VIN entered here. The Nissan VIN decoder breaks down the other 14 characters.
What crash ratings are on a Nissan window sticker?
The label carries NHTSA's 5-Star Safety Ratings: an overall score plus frontal crash, side crash and rollover. For 2025, NHTSA gave the Altima, Rogue and Pathfinder 5 stars overall, with 4 stars frontal and 5 side. Rollover is where they split: 5 stars for the Altima sedan and 4 for the two SUVs. The spec sheet pulls the same ratings for the model your VIN decodes to.
Selling a used Nissan on your lot?
A used Rogue's original sticker tells a shopper its trim and packages, but the price on it is years old. For the window, the free window sticker maker prints a current sheet: VIN-decoded features, your price and mileage, and a QR code to the car's listing. Put the FTC Buyers Guide next to it; federal rules require one on every used car a dealer offers.
