Suzuki Jimny: High-Performance Off-Roader

The Suzuki Jimny is often described as an off-road icon, and is recognized as Suzuki’s first global success, allowing the Japanese vehicle manufacturer to carve out a niche among 4x4 enthusiasts.

First introduced in 1970 as the LJ10, the Suzuki Jimny celebrates 40 successful years as a bestselling compact 4x4 vehicle.  The current model 2005 Jimny has been completely redesigned to offer strong off-road performance with sophisticated styling.   

A four-cylinder 16-valve DOHC 1300cc engine delivers maximum output of 81hp @ 5500rpm and maximum torque of 110Nm @ 4500rpm.  Noted for its quick response and high fuel-efficiency, the Jimny’s M13A engine is teamed with Drive Action 4x4 to deliver reliable performance for extreme driving challenges.  Its Drive Action 4x4 allows shifting between 2WD and 4WD mode while driving, for quick response to road surface and weather conditions.  

Probably the most outstanding characteristic that has made the Suzuki Jimny a world-renowned off-road vehicle is its legendary durability.  Suzuki’s patented ladder type frame provides a solid foundation for the chassis, while its rigid three-section design ensures a stable, quiet ride.  A three-link suspension with coil springs and rigid axle provides a high level of riding comfort.  Front disc brakes paired with rear leading and trailing drum brakes deliver adequate stopping power.

Despite its hardy exterior, the Suzuki Jimny is stocked with comfort amenities such as power steering, air-conditioning, console box with cupholder, and luggage compartment undertray.  Seating is for four adults, with full flat reclining seats and separate folding rear seats.  

The Suzuki Jimny is available in two trim levels, the base JX model and the deluxe JLX model.  The Jimny JLX has standard fog lamps, alloy wheels, roof rail, power windows, central door locks, electric side mirrors, and digital trip meter.

The Jimny JX M/T retails for P 698,000 while the Jimny JLX is priced at P750,000 for the manual transmission and P805,000 for the automatic transmission. All three variants are available from 19 Suzuki automotive dealers nationwide.
