A small 4×4 for big adventures, the new budget-friendly Suzuki Jimny can take you almost anywhere you want to go.
When it comes to new vehicles geared towards those who have a genuine spirit of adventure, small and affordable options can be especially fun – and the new Suzuki Jimny is just that. The Jimny’s reveal at the South African Festival of Motoring in August (along with a competitive pricing announcement!) has had many South African motorists looking forward to its official launch this summer.
This is the first all-new Suzuki Jimny 4×4 to be released in two decades, and it has the big shoes of its predecessors to fill. It turns out to have been worth the wait: as well as affordability, this is a vehicle that offers compact capability and, even more importantly, fun off-roading dynamics to go with its good looks.
Its striking personality and cheeky on and off-road appearance certainly give the new Jimny the cool factor. This is a design with serious retro appeal – the latest version features various elements that will be familiar to fans of the classic models, ranging from the iconic round headlights to a full-sized spare wheel on the tailgate.
