First Look - 2023 Suzuki Jimny 1.5L 4x4 75kw 5-Door - Still Capable but the charm?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Suzuki introduced the 5-door Jimny to South African Media at the Festival of Motoring and it is anticipated to be one of the hottest cars in the market. I mean the 3-door is hard to keep on dealership floors worldwide, now with almost similar light weight (below 1.2 tons), Those who always wanted additional space for traveling will find this more appealing and I foresee that happening.
Pricing and aftersales have not yet been announced but we estimate it to come just under R420 000.

A 5-door Jimny is, in all honestly, a good thing. The charm is still there. Fairly. Loving everything except the grille. They just had to add chrome to it. The all-black (the one in the older models) looks cleaner IMO.

Indian Suzuki's decision to make it a poor man's G-Wagon through chrome and metallic paint shows how out of touch they are on what made it so popular. The basic colours are what made it so popular.

One could backen the grille😂 The slightly longer wheelbase would work between climbs, water crossings and mud I think. Stil a very respectable package indeed.
I've always found it appealing to my senses. Partly due to the manual gear option and the affordability overall. Now, it makes even much better sense. I am liking the amount of options now available to us, South Africans. Thank you for the video.

Thank you so much Mzwandile. From my side the small size always made it a winner especially with what it can do, and sometimes supassing bigger 4x4s with its capabilities. Now it's not so nippy anymore, I wonder if people who loved it for its size will be interested in this one🤔. It's a catch 22 as some always thought it needed to be like this to sell more🙂
This will be the equivalent to the 4 door Jeep, will sell like crazy and the people have been asking for this for a long time.

Redesign chassis to electrify it with a lower centre of gravity and flat floor inside throughout. Add frunk, 5ft tray behind the second row of seats (dual cab ute) and increase clearance to 240mm+ Don't change anything else, just make sure one variant has 450km highway range and it would be the most popular car in the world

I hope the hole world can access the 5 door option as the 3 door option is just not practical enough for space to warrant buying one in New Zealand
In Mexico the 3 door Jimny's are sold thru the dealers in an auction style system, there is so high demand that every once in a while they sell them and if you are lucky enough to get a slot you can buy one. I hope that the 5 door Jimny gets all the attention from the posers so the 3 door classic Jimny is over looked and its easier to get one.

Jimny has become too expensive for what it is. If you really are going to offroad you will want the 2 door, as the extended wheelbase in the 4 door makes the breakover pretty poor for offroad use. If you using it for the school run you dont need the 4x4 setup and a Grand Vitara will be far better suited with the same ground clearance, better economy, spec and comfort. I really hate that new cheap looking chrome grill.
Initial negative feedback from owners in India is the steering, stiff and big turning radius. Hope Maruti can fix this.

I pride myself offroad going where all the big guys go with ease. with potholes, i could easily drive down one side an up the other, where the big 4wds had to pick a line and straddle them. this model is just that little bit too long to do what Jimny is famous for, hard core off road. ramp over another hicup and when they did potholes in the video, they kept 2 wheels on a level surface at centre of track, take that away as in real life, we dont have a level trail, left and right of potholes, it is drive in and drive out, if you arent too long.
