The cute ute that is the Suzuki Jimny

If you love spending free time by enjoying the great outdoors, you will certainly need a ride that has the ability to carry you and your gear even along challenging road conditions. If you still haven’t found your ideal off-road vehicle, you may want to consider Suzuki’s attractive entry for this category, the Suzuki Jimny.
You can select among the Jimny’s three variants: the Jimny GL 5MT, the Jimny GL 4AT, and the Jimny GLX 4AT.
Suzuki purposely designed the Jimny with small dimensions so it can negotiate narrow mountain trails which are inaccessible to large vehicles.
Every adventure requires a corresponding set of gears for you to fully enjoy the thrill that’s why Suzuki made sure that the Jimny has a sufficient space to load outdoor equipment with the vehicle’s flexible luggage space that can be expanded with the foldable rear seatbacks.
Passengers can expect a smooth ride even on rough road conditions as this off-roader is motivated by a fuel-efficient K15B engine that produces an output of up to 75kW at 6,000 rpm and a torque of up to 130Nm at 4,400 rpm. The power plant is mated to a five-speed manual transmission for the GL-M/T variant and four-speed automatic transmission for the GL-AT and GLX-AT variants.
The Jimny is fitted with Suzuki Safety Support that assists the driver in maintaining road safety. To strengthen the vehicle’s crash protection, the Jimny is developed with Suzuki’s Total Effective Control Technology (TECT) concept. Suzuki also guaranteed that not only the driver and passengers, but also the pedestrians, are protected on the road. The vehicle’s front structure is designed to minimize physical injuries in case of a collision with a pedestrian. Aside from these features, the Jimny is also equipped with dual front airbags and safety technologies which include the electronic stability program (ESP).
We have listed down the full specifications of each Suzuki Jimny variant to help you identify which one suits your adventures.
