Suzuki Jimny 5-Door launched, 340mm longer, same engine, RM200k

We all know and love the Suzuki Jimny – a compact four-wheel drive vehicle that is perfect for outdoor lifestyles. Now, there is another option, the Jimny 5-Door. Yes, a 5-door version.

It has been ‘stretched’ by 340mm from the 3-door version, making its length now 3,985mm. The wheelbase has also increased, now at 2,590mm. This means more legroom for rear passengers, while cargo space has increased from 85 liters to 211 liters.

In terms of mechanics, there are no changes, meaning it is still powered by a 1.5-liter naturally-aspirated 4-cylinder petrol engine, with 102hp and 130Nm of torque. Transmission options are a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic.

The drive system remains the same, the Suzuki AllGrip which is a part-time 4WD with a transfer case for low range.

The Jimny 5-Door still has a ground clearance of 210mm, but the approach, departure, and break-over angles have been reduced.

In terms of styling, the Jimny 5-Door has a different grille with five slots. Other features are similar, such as round LED headlights, flared fenders, rear bumper-mounted tail lights, 15-inch rims, and a spare tire mounted on the rear door.

The interior is equipped with a rugged upright dashboard like the 3-door model, a four-seat configuration, and a larger 9-inch instrument panel.

Pricing for the longer Suzuki Jimny 5-Door starts at RM199,950.
