Suzuki Jimny Overview
The Jimny lineage began in 1970 with the introduction of the LJ10 (Light Jeep 10). Over the decades, the vehicle has evolved through several generations, but it has always maintained its core philosophy as a compact, capable off-roader. The Jimny has been known by different names in various markets, such as the Samurai, Sierra, or Caribian, among others. The Jimny has a cult following among off-road enthusiasts and urban buyers looking for a distinctive, rugged vehicle.
Its launch in 2018 (for the latest generation) garnered significant attention, with demand often outstripping supply in several markets. The current-generation Jimny was introduced in Europe, Asia, and Australia. The Jimny is powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 101 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque. It is available with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. The Jimny is available in two trim levels: Sierra and Jimny. The Sierra trim comes standard with features like a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth, and a rearview camera. The Jimny trim adds features like a roof rack, fog lights, and a skid plate.
