SUZUKI JIMNY 3-DOOR – IT’S JUST NOT CRICKET

  By ,

It’s been more than five years since we last drove the “new” Suzuki Jimny. The scary thing is that not much has changed in this time — it’s still fundamentally the same. It’s the same engine, the same transmission and the same four-wheel drive system. There’s a new touchscreen and operating system, while auto cruise control and parking sensors have been added front and back. And along the way, a cheaper, more accessible version of the little 4×4 was added to the mix — known simply as the Jimny Lite…. Read more

JIMNY, FUN AND GAMES BY ANY STRETCH

  By ,

Jimny: it’s all in the name. Since its get-go the quirky small Suzuki SUV has been on a ‘fun run’, on and off road. Last year the maker invested more in the three-door compact, which had become something of a cult, adding two more doors and extended cabin space. Release the brakes, start revving the motor, the new Jimny XL five-door, after a bump in the road, has finally been let out on to Aussie streets, following a hold-up on sales for ‘an investigation into the model’ by the maker….

SUZUKI JIMNY XL FIVE-DOOR

  By ,

A five-door version of the Suzuki Jimny. Who would have thunk? It should make getting in and out of the back a little easier, not that you would want to volunteer to sit in the back. And not that the Jimny XL (that’s what it is designated as) is likely to offer that much more legroom than its sibling, but let’s crunch the numbers and find out. STYLING From the front there’s little to tell the three- and five-door versions of the Jimny apart. Both feature Suzuki’s stylised five-slot radiator… Read more

FIVE-DOOR SUZUKI JIMNY IS FINALLY HERE

  By ,

Over the years, the Suzuki Jimny compact SUV has become something of a cult figure with its retro looks and its semi-serious off-road ability. To date it’s only been available with three doors and so limiting its potential buyer base but now the long-awaited five-door version has arrived. Built in India, the new five-door Jimny joins the ongoing three-door Jimny and Jimny Lite and comes in a single variant, tagged XL – as in extra-large – although at 3820 mm long it’s hardly that. It is however 340mm longer than… Read more

SUZUKI JIMNY HERITAGE LIMITED EDITION

  By ,

It could be having trouble getting stock, but that hasn’t stopped Suzuki releasing a ‘heritage’ edition of its tiny Jimny off-roader. Just 300 of the cars will be up for grabs, tapping into Jimny’s enviable 4×4 history from the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s – where it all began. Jimny Heritage will be available in manual only, with a choice of four colours: Jungle Green, Bluish Black, Medium Grey and White. In addition to the GLX grade on which it is based, the heritage edition adds: * Red front mud flaps… Read more

JIMNY CRICKET! SUZUKI STAR STOOD DOWN

  By ,

Picking up the new Jimny press car, I asked the Suzuki man when a prospective buyer would be able to take delivery of the test car variant, a GLX three-door automatic. “Try next year,” he replied. It gets worse. Suzuki Australia says unprecedented demand and the global computer chip issue, have stalled the MY23 Jimny three-door automatic until production catches up. Customers with an order already inked, can keep waiting or switch to the bigger five-door, due Down Under later this year. The three-door Lite manual is still available to… Read more
