The legendary SUV Suzuki Jimny has been updated, but only for Japan

Suzuki has carried out the first large-scale modernization of its Jimny compact SUV. The fourth-generation car has been produced since 2018 and has not undergone any major changes before.


Recall that the Suzuki Jimny SUV is a legend. One of the last representatives of the "old school", with a frame and full-fledged all-wheel drive. For Japan, this car means about the same as for Russian Niva drivers. Only the Jimny has higher cross-country ability even in stock version.

Externally, the new Suzuki Jimny remained the same as before. The main changes affected the technical part. The manufacturer scrupulously collected reviews and complaints from the owners of this car around the world and eventually decided to rid it of a number of shortcomings.


Ergonomics in the cabin has changed significantly. A number of buttons and switches have moved to where many owners think they should be. Now you can click on them at ease, without being distracted from driving.

A special function has appeared that protects against confusing the gas and brake pedals. How exactly it works is not explained. It remains only to wait for the updated Suzuki Jimny in Russia and check it out.

All Jimny modifications equipped with manual transmissions will receive a stop-start system as standard. This means that the engine will automatically turn off during stops in traffic jams and at traffic lights, and then start. This was done for the sake of the environment, because fuel consumption, as practice has shown, is reduced by only 2-3%.

In Japan Suzuki Jimny will be offered in two versions. The standard "Jimny" of the fourth generation, which was never officially delivered to Russia, is equipped with gasoline engines with a volume of 0,66 liters and a power of 64 hp. With. This is a popular key car class in the Land of the Rising Sun.

The standard version for Russia with a 1,5-liter engine, developing 102 hp. with., is called in the domestic market Suzuki Jimny Sierra. All cars are equipped with automatic or manual transmissions and are offered only with all-wheel drive.


And now attention - prices for Suzuki Jimny for the Japanese market! We will give them immediately in Russian rubles. For the "younger" version, they ask here from 652. The "older" Sierra - from 000.

And now let's compare with what they offer in Russia. We have the lowest cost of a new car that we managed to find - this is 2,667 million rubles.

Buy updated Suzuki Jimny in Russia officially in the near future is unlikely to succeed. But fans of the model will not be frightened by this - they will use the "gray" purchase and import schemes.
