Driving the Suzuki Jimny 5-door, I couldn’t help but notice heads turned, not for me, but for the car I was driving. This car grabs the spotlight.
With its stunning compact, boxy design, the Suzuki Jimny grabs people’s attention wherever it goes.
The bright, white light provided by circular LED headlights, makes night driving clear and safe.
On my drive to Clark, Pampanga, this car was capable of quick acceleration and precise control behind the wheel.
This car may look simple, but it’s packed with high-tech innovation, ideal for outdoor adventures.
The Suzuki Jimny’s interior fits four adults, with plenty of headroom, shoulder room, and legroom. The leather-cushioned seats provide excellent support for your back and legs.
Adding to its practicality, the second stick shift, allows you to effortlessly shift, conveniently within arm’s reach, between 4x2 and 4x4, whether in low or high gear.
The 5th door swings fully outward and features a special hinge to keep it securely open, preventing accidental closures. With the back seats upright, there’s enough space for your luggage, but fold them down, and you get a generous 1,143 liters of space.
The LCD also gives you a panel and sensor to assist when you are backing up.
The reverse lights provide visibility even in the dark.
Powered with a K15B 16 piston 4-cylinder multipoint gas engine and a 40-liter gas tank, rev up to 6,000 rpm, a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, going uphill or downhill, or rocky terrain with 195/80R15 tires, 3-link rigid axle with coil spring front and back makes the journey easy.
The Suzuki Jimny 5-door provides a generous space for your luggage when the back seats are folded down.
The front comes with SRS front dual airbags, and sides. All 4 passengers have seatbelts.
Other security features are:
ISOFIX child seat anchorages
Pedal Release System
Side impact door beams
Anti-lock Braking System
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) ®

Overall, the Suzuki Jimny 5-door is a game-changer for your weekend adventures.
