Fantastic car with permanent all‑wheel drive, a lovely driving feel, better range than WLTP suggests, and a really great speaker system.

Suzuki Jimny

Brimming with raucous charm and unabashed off-road spirit, the Suzuki Jimny makes light work of rough tracks while remaining surprisingly at home in city streets. It's a cheeky, no-nonsense companion for buyers who prefer character over conformity — think go-anywhere attitude in a pocket-sized package.
