Boxy Charm with Real Presence

The Jimny wears a purposeful, retro boxy silhouette that refuses to fade into traffic, its short 3,645 mm length and 1,705 mm height making it nimble in town while keeping classic off‑roader proportions. At 1,165 kg curb weight the look is not just cosmetic — it rides high with genuine ground clearance and a narrow 1,645 mm width that helps through tight forest tracks. From a distance it announces capability rather than luxury, which is exactly the message Suzuki intends.

Rugged, Functional Cabin

Inside is a study in functional simplicity: durable plastics, big knobs and switchgear built to survive mud and gloves rather than impress with soft‑touch surfaces. Controls are logically placed and cleaning is easy, but sound insulation and refinement lag behind mainstream small SUVs. Official data lists just two seats and the cabin can feel spartan for longer trips, though the high roof provides excellent headroom and outward visibility.

Compact Practicality — Small Footprint, Surprising Load

With a maximum trunk capacity of 863 litres and a 270 kg payload the Jimny can swallow camping kit or weekend bikes if luggage is stacked sensibly, and the 40‑litre tank supports longer outings between stops. Its short length makes parking effortless but limits rear passenger space and sideways room, so day‑to‑day life is more practical for singles and active couples than full families. Pay attention to the load limits — topping the payload quickly affects ride and handling on rough tracks.

Off‑Road DNA, Road Manners with Compromise

The 1.5‑litre petrol engine produces 102 hp and 130 Nm, getting the Jimny to 100 km/h in about 12.8 seconds with a top speed near 145 km/h, figures that underline this is a trail‑ready tool rather than a performance hatchback. A light manual gearbox and all‑wheel drive combine with the short wheelbase to make the Jimny exceptionally manoeuvrable on tight trails and narrow lanes. On tarmac the tall, boxy chassis communicates body roll and a choppy ride over big ridges, but steering is direct and confidence‑inspiring when lining up obstacles off‑road, and the ladder‑frame construction rewards intent with genuine capability.

Fuel Use and Real‑World Range

Suzuki rates consumption at 7.7 L/100 km, which with a 40‑litre tank gives a theoretical highway range around 500–520 km under ideal conditions. Real‑world figures tend to be higher on fast roads because of the Jimny’s blunt aerodynamics and will vary between roughly 7.5 and 9 L/100 km depending on load and terrain. CO2 emissions of 173 g/km place the Jimny in a lower efficiency band — a trade‑off for simple, lightweight mechanics and serious off‑road hardware.

Simple Tech, Focused Safety

Technology is intentionally no‑frills: a basic infotainment system with smartphone mirroring handles navigation and media without flashy driver aids, and the manual gearbox keeps the mechanical experience tactile. Safety kit covers essentials but advanced driver assistance is modest compared with contemporary crossovers, so long highway runs feel less relaxed than in more tech‑laden rivals. For buyers prioritising mechanical reliability and simplicity the setup is sensible, but those wanting semi‑autonomous features will need to look elsewhere.

Who This Jimny Will Suit

The Jimny suits buyers who prize compact, genuine off‑road ability and characterful styling over rear‑seat space and luxury trimmings; it is a weekend explorer, beach buggy and city parking ace rolled into one. Current versions include the Jimny NFZ 1.5 petrol manual all‑wheel drive with 102 hp and 7.7 L/100 km, a pairing that highlights the model’s focus on simple, robust motoring. Anyone needing family practicality, high freeway refinement or cutting‑edge assistance will find better alternatives, but for those who want a small, honest off‑roader the Jimny remains a compelling, focused choice.
