The Suzuki Jimny has consistently symbolized compact off-road excellence in the vibrant landscape of the Philippine automotive scene. With the unveiling of its 5-door model, Suzuki ingeniously blends contemporary flair with its timeless design, presenting a revitalized interpretation of this cherished vehicle while honoring its esteemed heritage.
Same Iconic Look, More Practicality
Suzuki loyalists can breathe easy; the Jimny 5-door remains unmistakably a Jimny. The familiar boxy profile and retro design cues persist, evoking the Jimny’s rich heritage as a mini off-road master. What’s changed is the enlarged rear overhang to accommodate a longer wheelbase and an extra set of doors.
This new body style expands the Jimny’s functionality as an adventure companion and city runabout. The rear doors enable easier access to the backseats and cargo area. And the extended wheelbase results in a roomier cabin, especially for rear passengers, while preserving its nimble maneuverability.
Performance Meets Efficiency
The Jimny 5-door retains the technical underpinnings that enable its trademark off-road mastery. Its rigid ladder frame chassis, 3-link rigid axle suspension with coil springs, and ALLGRIP PRO 4WD system carry over from the smaller 3-door.
Suzuki introduces the 1.5-liter petrol engine to the Jimny 5-door. The compact K15B power plant offers enhanced torque for conquering rugged landscapes while ensuring fuel efficiency during urban commutes. Moreover, drovers can seamlessly transition to 2WD mode for a serene journey on paved roads. For those seeking effortless driving, worry not, as the option of a 4-speed automatic transition simplifies everyday travel.
With expanded seating and cargo flexibility combined with the Jimny’s prowess off-road, this 5-door evolution delivers style and substance through a balance of modernity, practicality, and character.
Modern Touches for the Modern Driver
Suzuki added contemporary styling details to bring the Jimny’s design into the modern age. Sleek LED headlamps and vertically stacked front lights give it a high-tech persona. Higher specification models gain newly designed alloy wheels.
Step inside, where the revamped dashboard boasts a driver-centric layout. Dominating the center stage is a standalone touchscreen infotainment system, seamlessly integrating wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto functionalities. Enhanced comfort awaits with plush, supportive seats and added interior storage compartments, elevating the cabin experience. Suzuki’s commitment to practicality shines through, whether it’s navigating grocery runs or tackling the trails of Mt. Pulag.
Safety and Comfort: A Priority
The safety features in the Jimny 5-door are truly impressive. It integrates modern safety technologies, including advanced dual airbag systems, and inherits the hill descent and hill hold assist functionalities from its 3-door counterpart. With the proprietary TECT frame, Suzuki prioritizes driver and passenger safety by mitigating potential injuries in the event of a collision. The front structure is meticulously designed to minimize damage to a pedestrian.
Suzuki remains steadfast in ensuring that this new model meets the expectations of today's drivers while retaining its adventurous spirit.
