The Suzuki Jimny is a tough cookie that has been around for over 50 years, performing well in the city but truly shines off-road. Starting at £15,999 for the new 2018 model, it is surprisingly cheap if we compare it with compact crossovers like the Seat Arona or the Kia Stonic, which cannot compete with it in tough conditions.
The Suzuki Jimny just has one engine option - the 1.5-litre petrol - but you can choose between a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Not the fastest car in the world, it is quite nippy at low speeds. Given its size, the Jimny is not as cheap to run as you'd assume. Its fuel consumption ranges between 32.1 and 35.8mpg and its CO2 emissions are in the 145-158g/km bracket, which is quite high.
The entry-level to the Suzuki Jimny's 4th generation model is the SZ4 trim and it comes with a range of decent features as standard.
The slightly more premium SZ5 has the following impressive standard features.
This small Japanese SUV has proved really popular and has a loyal following of happy owners. Yes, the cabin and boot space are restricted but the Jimny packs a punch and doesn't disappoint. What you can expect from a Suzuki Jimny is a strong resale value, bulletproof looks and an impressive performance off the beaten track.
The iconic small 4x4 is a very good car. Cheap, comfortable and tough, it's great for driving around town and great fun off-road. The car is built to last, well screwed together and Jimny owners are overall very happy with their vehicles.
Yes, four-wheel drive is standard in a Jimny because the car is an all-terrain first and foremost.
In July 2020 Suzuki announced they'd discontinue the Jimny in most European markets as the loveable compact SUV fails to comply with stricter emission norms from the European Union. These new regulations will come into effect from 2021. However, in September 2020 it was unveiled that Suzuki will bring back the beloved 4x4 in a commercial version. Sales are expected to start in early 2021.
Overall, the Suzuki Jimny is and is noticeably well screwed together. The car is an off-roader, and it is made to withstand rough conditions. If this weren't enough, Suzuki Jimny owners seem to be happy and have found no major issues with them.
Yes, the 1.5-litre engine of the Suzuki Jimny can be mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. In the manual version, it has five speeds.
The fourth generation of the Suzuki Jimny was launched in July 2018 and is produced at Suzuki's Kosai plant in Japan. The third generation started production in 1998 and the cars were assembled in Iwata in Japan, Colombia, Spain and Brazil.
