The design of the new SUV is made in a brutal way and reflects the stylistic heritage of previous generations of the model. So, the configuration of the radiator grille and the location of the optics refer to the first Jimny (LJ10), and the uncomplicated plastic of the body panels is similar to the SUV of the second incarnation (SJ30). The exterior of the Suzuki Jimny suggests not only a single-color, but also a two-tone painting scheme. Jimny retained all the design attributes of a real SUV.
All versions are with all-wheel drive. Instead of the previous 85-horsepower 1.3-liter unit, the car received a new 1.5-liter engine with distributed injection (102 hp, 130 Nm).
On the exterior of the Suzuki Jimny 2018-2019, round branded headlights, a classic-style black grille, 15-inch alloy wheels with a black and metallic sheen attract the eye. As for the body color, two new shades have been proposed specifically for the model: “Kinetic Yellow” and “Jungle Green” - one makes the car especially noticeable even in bad weather, the other is in harmony with natural landscapes. The Jimny's small, nearly vertical A-pillars provide excellent visibility, as does the curved glass line on the front doors (a la the first-generation Vitara). The interior of the novelty is made deliberately practical and simple. The front panel is made of black plastic without any decorative inserts, the driver's instruments are made in the form of two separate dials, between which the on-board computer display is installed. At the top of the center console is the display of the multimedia system.
Under the hood of the Suzuki Jimny, designed for the Russian market, is a new 4-cylinder K15B engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters. The power unit produces a maximum power of 75 kW or 102 horsepower (at 6000 rpm) and a torque of 130 Nm (at 4000 rpm). These figures provide a top speed of 145 km / h and 12.8 seconds to accelerate from standstill to "hundreds". Gasoline consumption - 6.8 l / 100 km. The fuel tank has a volume of 40 liters. The engine is equipped with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. It is worth noting that in Japan and for some markets, the base version of the Suzuki Jimny is offered with a three-cylinder turbocharged 660 cc engine. see (64 hp).
Like a real SUV, Suzuki Jimny has a separate spar frame, solid axles, dependent suspensions, transfer case with reduction gear. Crossbars have been added to the frame design for additional reinforcement and increased torsional rigidity. A steering damper in the front suspension minimizes vibration and kickback to the steering wheel. The all-wheel drive transmission has 2H, 4H and 4L modes. Suzuki Jimny offers the AllGrip Pro off-road assistance system, which will allow you to get into even hard-to-reach places. The Jimny has excellent cross-country geometry: approach angle - 36 degrees, departure angle - 49 degrees, ramp angle - 28 degrees. Ground clearance - 210 mm. Length, width, height of the new Jimny are 3395, 1475 and 1725 mm respectively. The luggage compartment has a volume of 377 liters, which is 53 liters more than its predecessor.
Advanced systems aboard the fourth generation Suzuki Jimny help not only fight off-road, but also increase safety. The Jimny LSD traction control system automatically brakes the sliding wheels to redistribute torque to the right side and improve traction. With the change of generations, the Safety Support system with a monocular camera and laser sensors is available for the first time - it recognizes obstacles ahead and automatically brakes in emergency cases. The system works in the range from 5 to 100 km/h, but it recognizes pedestrians in the range of 5-60 km/h. The system also includes Lane Departure Reading, Traffic Sign Reading and High Beam Switching.
Compact and fuel-efficient, the Suzuki Jimny remains the same – as the manufacturer notes – an authentic SUV, durable enough to withstand the harshest conditions. A more powerful engine and improved safety have been defining changes in the new generation of the model, along with modern technology. The advantages of the Jimny also turn into its inherent disadvantages: a stiff suspension, mediocre handling and stability, and a cramped interior.
A couple of weeks ago, finally told about this car in all details. The Japanese approached the generation change conservatively. If the new Mercedes G-class only looks like the old one and has a completely new chassis and a more spacious interior, then Jimny inherited a lot from its predecessor.
The new Suzuki Jimny hasn't changed much in size. The length decreased by 50 mm (up to 3645 mm with the spare wheel cover and 3480 mm without it), but the width increased by 45 mm (up to 1645 mm), and the height - by 20 mm (up to 1725 mm). Moreover, the declared ground clearance is increased by the same 20 mm: now 210 instead of 190 mm. The off-road geometry is enviable, with an approach angle of 37 degrees and an exit angle of 49 degrees.
The basic design of the car was preserved: the new Suzuki Jimny remained an honest frame SUV with two solid axles, spring suspension, hard-wired all-wheel drive and a reduction gear in the transfer case. The new frame with additional reinforcements and crossbars is one and a half times stiffer than the previous one, but the wheelbase has not changed: 2250 mm. Bridges are now wider and the track has grown by 40 mm: up to 1395 mm at the front and 1405 mm at the rear. Already in the basic configuration there is a limited-slip rear differential, but from off-road electronics - only an assistant to descend from the mountain.
At the same time, the archaic steering mechanism of the worm-roller type (like that of the Zhiguli) remained the same - an additional damper was cut into it to reduce the vibrations transmitted to the steering wheel. The rear still has drum brakes. The volume of the fuel tank has not changed either (40 liters).
The biggest technical innovation is the 1.5-liter K15B gasoline engine with distributed injection (102 hp, 130 Nm), which replaced the 1.3 engine (85 hp, 110 Nm). Judging by the unchanged gear ratios, the gearboxes and transfer cases have switched to the new Jimny straight from the old one: buyers can choose between a five-speed “mechanics” and a four-speed “automatic”.
But the interior is completely new - with an angular front panel, analog instruments and partial rear trim. In the spirit of the time, a modern media system was registered here (like other Suzuki models), and climate control appeared from the comfort elements. For switching transmission modes, it is not the newfangled button washers that are responsible, but the old-school lever. The new front seats have a frame that is 70mm wider than before and their attachment points are 30mm lower.
The distance between the rows has grown by 40 mm, but the already miniature trunk has been sacrificed. Its volume behind the backs of the rear seats has decreased from 113 to 85 liters. Although the maximum volume with the rear row folded down is now even slightly larger: 830 instead of 816 liters.
The Japanese consider the Suzuki Safety Support complex to be one of the most important new things: it includes automatic braking, marking tracking, reading road signs and switching high beams, and can also notify the driver that the car in front has started moving. Of course, there is a stabilization system in the arsenal, there are now six airbags instead of two in the previous model.
In Japan, the "international" version of the SUV will traditionally be sold under the double name Jimny Sierra, because the "just Jimny" in the local market is slightly different and belongs to the preferential category of kei cars. It has the same body, but more compact bumpers and narrow axles have been installed to comply with size standards, and expanders have disappeared from the wheel arches. As a result, the length, excluding the spare tire, decreased to 3395 mm, and the width to 1475 mm.
Under the hood of the Japanese version, a “preferential” 660 cc R06A turbo engine is installed, which produces the maximum 64 hp allowed for kei cars. The transmission, gearboxes and equipment are the same as those of the “big” Jimny. In Japan, the kei version should be much more popular than the Sierra: Suzuki expects to sell 15,000 660-cc SUVs and only 1,200 1.5-liter versions annually.
Production of the new Suzuki Jimny began a few months ago, and now SUVs are not being produced in Iwata, but at another company plant in the city of Kosai. Sales on the local market have already begun: a small-capacity Jimny costs from $14,000, and for a “full-fledged” Jimny Sierra, you need to pay at least $15,900. Gradually, deliveries to other countries will begin. For example, in Russia, the new Jimny is expected around the beginning of 2019. According to Autoreview, the previous model has found about 16,000 buyers over the years. And the total circulation of all generations of Jimny since 1970 has reached 2.85 million copies.
Suzuki, as part of the official presentation on June 5, revealed all the information about the new Suzuki Jimny 2018-2019. The 4th generation off-road vehicle, which entered the assembly line of the plant in the Japanese city of Kasai at the beginning of summer, will replace the 3rd generation car (FJ body), which has been on the market for about 20 years. For such a long period, the car was updated only twice (in 2006 and 2012), and even then only in minor details. So the fans of the model were waiting for the release of the “fourth” Suzuki Jimny with great impatience, and now they have the opportunity to evaluate the improvements made.
I immediately wanted to reassure those who feared that after the change of generations, Jimny would lose its valuable off-road qualities and cease to be the honest all-terrainer that it was from the very moment of its appearance. So, this did not happen, and even more than that, in terms of technology, the newcomer inherited a lot from his predecessor. For example, the new 2018-2019 Suzuki Jimny got a body with a ladder-type frame, spring-loaded solid axles front and rear, a hard-wired all-wheel drive with a transfer case and a reduction gear. At the same time, the Japanese SUV acquired not only a new 1.5-liter engine with a return of 102 hp, but also more advanced electronic equipment, which made the car much more comfortable and safer than it was before.
At home, Jimny, in addition to the version with a 1.5-liter engine, is also offered in a modification with a small-capacity 660-cc unit with a capacity of 64 hp. Such an option in Japan is simply called Suzuki Jimny, while the “older” version is called Jimny Sierra. We will talk about the second version, because it is she who will be exported, including to Russia. The new Suzuki will reach us around the beginning of 2019, and the base cost of the model will be about 1.2 million rubles (the price for the current Jimny starts at 1,175,000 rubles). In the Japanese market, the price of the new generation Suzuki Jimny starts at 1,760,400 yen (about 1 million rubles).
A different vision of familiar forms
The first major upgrade in the last two decades did not greatly affect the external dimensions of the Suzuki Jimny. The SUV is 50mm shorter, 45mm wider and 20mm taller. After all the edits, the dimensions of the car body look like this: length - 3645 (excluding the spare wheel on the trunk lid - 3480 mm), width - 1645 mm, height - 1725 mm, wheelbase - 2250 mm. The track of the front wheels has grown to 1395 mm, the rear - up to 1405 mm. Ground clearance has increased by 20 mm, reaching 210 mm. The geometric cross-country ability of the new Jimny is simply fantastic: the approach angle is 37 degrees, the exit angle is 49 degrees, the ramp angle is 28 degrees.
Suzuki's designers decided to stay true to the signature styling line, giving the new model the same boxy shapes that were characteristic of the previous car. However, many body elements were revised - there were other grilles, bumpers, rear-view mirrors. The headlights, although they remained round, have acquired modern LED content.

The stern of the car has retained a practical rectangular trunk lid that opens to the side and is used to mount a spare wheel, but the rear lighting has undergone a thorough revision. From now on, the position lamps in the format of compact blocks are entirely located on the bumper.
Aft design
The sidewalls of the Suzuki Jimny are completely flat, with a small notch that crosses the door and outlines the wheel arches. The arches themselves are equipped with massive plastic expanders and are adapted to accommodate 15-inch alloy wheels with 195/80 R15 tires.
The set of SUV body enamels includes eight colors, including two new shades - Kinetic Yellow (yellow) and Jungle Green (green). The roof can be painted in contrasting black if desired.
Improved finishes and new equipment
Large-scale changes have taken place in the cabin of the Suzuki Jimny - the front panel has received a completely different architecture, and the quality of the interior has improved significantly. At the same time, the interior, even after all the transformations, seems somewhat rustic and even Spartan, but at the same time quite original, which, apparently, was what the Japanese were striving for. Of course, it was not without the mandatory attributes of any modern car - there is a convenient multifunctional steering wheel, an analog dashboard with an on-board computer display, a media center with a 7-inch touch screen (Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto).
Updated Jimny interior
The list of equipment available for the model also includes LED head optics and LED repeaters on the side mirrors, electric adjustment and heated exterior mirrors, climate control, keyless engine start, heated front seats, leather steering wheel upholstery, cruise control, assistants when starting uphill and downhill, stabilization system, six airbags.
seating architecture
The number of electronic assistants has increased markedly. Suzuki Safety Support includes automatic braking with pedestrian detection, traffic sign recognition, marking line tracking, automatic switching between low and high beam headlights, and notification of the start of movement of the car in front.
Trunk
The landing of the front passengers of the Suzuki Jimny has changed significantly - the seats have become 70 mm wider, and their attachment points have dropped 30 mm lower. On the second row, due to the displacement of the seats back, an additional 40 mm appeared in the leg area. But this, in turn, had a negative impact on the luggage compartment - its already very modest base capacity of 113 liters was reduced to 85 liters. At the same time, the maximum volume formed with the rear seats folded down even increased, rising from 816 to 830 liters (loading up to the ceiling).
Specifications Suzuki Jimny 2018-2019
During the modernization of Suzuki, Jimny received a new power plant - a 1.5-liter K15B gasoline engine with an output power of 102 hp. and peak torque of 130 Nm. The new unit replaced the 1.3-liter engine, which gave 85 hp. and 110 Nm. There are two gearboxes - a 5-speed "mechanics" and a 4-band "automatic". Modification with manual transmission consumes about 6.3 liters per 100 km, version with automatic transmission - about 6.8 liters.
New 1.5 liter engine 102 hp
The prettier Jimny remained a full-fledged all-terrain vehicle thanks to the presence of a frame structure and part-time all-wheel drive with a rigidly connected front axle. The AllGrip Pro AWD system available in the arsenal allows you to choose between three driving modes - 2H, 4H and 4L. The transfer case is controlled using a classic lever located between the front seats.
Technical background
Suspension
As already noted, the Suzuki SUV relies on front and rear solid axles with springs. The steering on the basis of the worm-roller mechanism is equipped with an electric booster, drum-type brakes are used at the rear.

Suzuki Jimny is not only a real “long-liver”, but also one of the few “classic jeeps” remaining on the market: despite its modest dimensions, it is a full-fledged SUV with a frame structure, short overhangs, continuous axles and a plug-in all-wheel drive ... Therefore, if not on the road, then in the mud this "Japanese" is able to give shape to more eminent, large and powerful competitors ...
The third generation of the Japanese mini-all-terrain vehicle was born in the fall of 1997 - its international show was organized at the Tokyo Motor Show (the European debut of the car took place a year later in Paris). During its “career”, the car was updated several times: in early 2005, it was “corrected” to the interior and slightly modernized engines, and in the summer of 2012 they changed the appearance and “apartments”, separated new equipment, but left the technical part untouched ... and in the spring In 2018, its production was completed.
Despite its small size and slightly “toy” appearance, the Suzuki Jimny body proportions resemble “real jeeps”, and a high body with roof rails, pronounced wheel arch relief, a spare wheel suspended on the tailgate and vertical rear lights add solidity to its appearance.
But from the front, the car looks nice, but rather funny - the “look” of lighting equipment, completely devoid of aggression, a radiator grille with five slots and a “protruding lip” of the bumper.
In terms of its dimensions, the Jimny is very compact: it is 3695 mm long, 1705 mm high, and 1600 mm wide. The wheelbase of the mini-all-terrain vehicle does not go beyond 2250 mm, and its ground clearance is 190 mm.
In the "combat" form, the "Japanese" weighs from 1005 to 1074 kg, depending on the modification.
The interior of the "third" Suzuki Jimny looks nice, concise and strict, but old-fashioned. This is especially true of the center console, which houses a two-din radio, a “climate” unit with a “slider” and three classic “twists” and keys that control all-wheel drive. A simple three-spoke steering wheel with a “flat” rim and an extremely understandable instrument cluster do not lag behind her.
The interior of the SUV is cut from inexpensive materials (although in the "top" versions of the seats are sheathed in leather), but executed with high quality.
Only the front riders will sit more or less comfortably inside the Jimny - they are provided with comfortable chairs with unobtrusive support on the sides and sufficient adjustment intervals. On the second row, you should not expect any space - there is only enough space here except for a couple of undergrowths, and you won’t envy them either: the pillow and back fillers are so thin that the frame can be felt through them.
The luggage compartment of an SUV in the "marching" state is simply scanty - only 113 liters. The backs of the rear “bench” are folded in two symmetrical sections, increasing the supply of free space to quite a decent 816 liters. True, in this case, an uneven loading area with a noticeable “step” is formed.
Specifications. For Russia, the third “release” of Suzuki Jimny is provided with one gasoline engine - the “heart” of the car is an all-aluminum in-line four M12AA with a volume of 1.3 liters (1328 cubic centimeters) with two camshafts, 16-valve timing, MPI distributed injection, sequentially controlled ignition and adjustable valve timing. In its arsenal - 85 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 110 Nm of torque, which is generated at 4100 rpm.
By default, the SUV is equipped with a 5-speed “mechanics” and all-wheel drive transmission, and for a surcharge, it is offered a 4-band “automatic” with a gear hold function.
The all-wheel drive system of the three-door is organized according to the classic “Part Time” scheme with a connected front axle. It has three modes of operation: 2WD - all thrust goes back; 4WD - half the power goes to the front wheels (works at speeds up to 100 km / h); 4WD-L - four-wheel drive with downshift.
Off-road, the third-generation Suzuki Jimny feels great: its approach and departure angles reach 40 and 49 degrees, respectively, and the fording depth is 450 mm.
But in the “driving” disciplines, things are not so rosy for him: the maximum SUV is gaining 135-140 km / h, accelerating to the first “hundred” in 14.1-17.2 seconds. In the mixed driving mode, the three-door "eats" from 7.3 to 7.8 liters per 100 km.
The Jimny of the third generation is based on a three-section ladder-type spar frame, with which the body is connected by means of eight rubber-metal supports. The front and rear suspensions of the car are dependent, spring-loaded, and solid axles are kept from moving by transverse rods and powerful trailing arms.
The SUV is equipped with a rack and pinion steering system, which integrates a hydraulic booster. Ventilated discs on the front axle and drum devices in the rear, supplemented by default with ABS, are responsible for slowing down on the three-door.
Options and prices. In the Russian market, the "third" Suzuki Jimny in 2018 is sold in the trim levels "JLX" (from 1,155,000 rubles, surcharge for "automatic" - 60,000 rubles) and "JLX Mode 3" (1,259,950 rubles).
Regularly, the car has two airbags, ESP, ABS, air conditioning, fabric upholstery, heated front seats, fog lights, power steering, two power windows, audio preparation for two speakers and 15-inch steel wheel rims. And the “JLX Mode 3” option additionally “flaunts” leather-trimmed seats and steering wheel + silver roof rails.
