Suzuki Jimny is a small off-road vehicle, measuring 3625 mm (142.72 in.) - 3675 mm (144.69 in.) in length, 1600 mm (62.99 in.) - 1645 mm (64.76 in.) in width, and 1655 mm (65.16 in.) - 1725 mm (67.91 in.) in height, depending on the modification. Its small size makes it suitable for daily city drives, as well, and leads to also having light weight, helping improve the vehicle’s performance in certain off-road conditions, such as sand.
Official fuel consumption figures of Suzuki Jimny are between 6.1 l/100 km (38.56 mpg) and 8.3 l/100 km (28.34 mpg). Economy, however, highly depends on how and where the vehicle is mainly used, meaning when used in off-road conditions, consumption is expected to be higher than the officially stated.
Fourth generation Suzuki Jimny is powered by 1.5-liter (1462 cm3 | 89.22 cu. in.) 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, producing 102 Hp and 130 Nm of torque.
Suzuki Jimny was built with focus on off-road capabilities and has all the characteristics and features needed for this purpose. The only issue, that some drivers notice, is the insufficient at times ground clearance. Apart from that, it is often described as “unbreakable” and there is no reason it shouldn’t be driven on harsh terrains.
Functional would be the best term to describe Suzuki Jimny’s interior. It is simple, with large and easy-to-use buttons and controls, with the seats being relatively comfortable, at least for short trips. In terms of space, there is much room for both the driver and passengers. When rear seats are up, however, boot space is limited and often found too small.
Suzuki Jimny is overall suitable, but not too comfortable for long drives, especially on highways. This is due to the somewhat slow acceleration, noisy engine, and insufficient boot space. The model is a better fit for short off-road and, thanks to its small size, in-town drives.
The vast majority of Suzuki Jimny owners are thrilled with their vehicles’ off-road performance, reliability, and running cost, compared to other alternatives on the market. No common issues and faults have been reported.
