JIMNY - A pleasure to drive, on and off the road.

Wherever you drive the Jimny, you'll feel comfortable and totally in control. The cockpit is designed based on advanced ergonomic studies that helped determine the most natural placement and shape of components. For example, the stress-free driving position keeps you feeling fresh on long journeys, the steering wheel is positioned just right, and the large cockpit meters are clustered together to convey vital information at a glance.

The Jimny is as comfortable and functional as a family sedan. Its space-efficient layout seats four adult passengers in comfort. Headroom is more than ample, and Suzuki carved out extra inches for feet, knees and elbows, so there's plenty of room to stretch.

Whether transporting goods or traveling with friends, the Jimny accommodates your needs. The sporty seats are large, comfortable and supportive during spirited driving. The rear seats fold back independently to make room for luggage of different shapes and sizes. When you want to take a nap, simply fold all the seats back.

Entering and exiting the Jimny is easy for people of all ages thanks to wide door openings, low side sills, and a front passenger seat that slides forward all the way to make room for rear seat passengers as they board or exit. Pockets and compartments are strategically located for easy-access storage of maps, sunglasses, tissues and other small items. Handy power amenities like electric windows and power door locks are standard fare on the JLX model. And your comfort is made complete by an optional climate control system that keeps everyone comfortable throughout the year.

The Jimny's sturdy 3-section ladder-type frame is a solid foundation for both serious off-road performance and smooth riding comfort. It floats on a 3-link coil suspension that handles highway curves and rocky embankments with equal assurance. Separate shock absorbers and coil springs increase suspension travel and ensure smoother response. The ride is taut yet compliant, providing a high level of comfort approach and departure angles let you climb banks with confidence, while rigid full-width axles help provide superior grip on any terrain. Drive Action 4x4 with an Air Locking Hub allows shifting between 4WD (4H) and 2WD modes while driving.

The Jimny's aluminum G13BB engine is notable for its quick response and high fuel efficiency. Water-cooled, with four in-line cylinders and electronic multi point injection, it accelerates effortlessly and generates torque in abundance. Power is transferred to the smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission by way of a specially designed chain that minimizes friction, noise and power loss.

The high-performance brake system includes large diameter front disc brakes, an 8-inch vacuum servo, and a Load Sensing Proportioning Valve that helps prevent premature locking of the rear wheels during sudden braking and improves braking performance when the vehicle is fully loaded. The optional 4-wheel, 3-channel, 4-sensor anti-lock braking system helps maintain steering control during sudden braking.

Comprehensive safety measures include a rigid body and frame that were refined through computer analysis to absorb the force of frontal impact and spread it away from the passengers. Side door beams are also incorporated to help preserve cabin integrity. All seats are equipped with 3-point ELR seatbelts.
