The new Jimny remained at the same time cute and brutal, an honest frame SUV, with a dependent suspension on two solid axles, and a transfer case with reduction gears. They did not experiment with the new gearboxes, leaving the previous 5-speed manual, and a modest 4-speed automatic by modern standards, which are adapted to the new one and a half liter engine, which is the main innovation of the generation change. The brakes are front disc, rear drum, which is also a bit old-fashioned, maybe everything for the sake of reliability. Regardless, Jimny 2018 called manymodern security and comfort systems, many of which became the debut for the Suzuki brand.
When the first Jimny debuted in 1970, it was Suzuki's masterpiece of 4WD technology. The Jimny is the only authentic off-road vehicle that is small and light, yet still retains the rogue-like ability that the pros need. It's been two decades since the debut of the third generation in 1998, and today the Jimny has evolved into its fourth generation in its nearly 50-year history.
The all-new Suzuki Jimny is now even more functional and practical in both looks and performance, yet fully embodies the spirit of its beloved predecessors and its core concept of being “the one small lightweight 4WD”. The new 2019 Suzuki Jimny combines the simplicity, functional beauty and technology of a full-fledged SUV that will appeal to off-road enthusiasts and city drivers alike.
PRACTICAL APPEARANCE
The Jimny's sturdy and simple boxy bodywork expresses its off-road capability and reliability, while also contributing to the driver's situational awareness. More upright pillars and a flat bonnet improve visibility from the windshield, while recessed driver and passenger windows increase visibility from the side windows. The black and simple front grille highlights the round headlights, while the 15-inch dark metal alloy wheels accentuate the strong exterior.
Other exterior features include roof edge drainage slats that prevent water from entering the cabin when a door is opened or closed; wheel arch extensions and side sills protect the body from stone fragments; and taillights assembled at the bottom of the bumper to simplify the design, which also contributes to a wider opening of the tailgate.
SUZUKI JIMNY COLORS
Eight body colours, including two new colors developed exclusively for the new Jimny: high visibility "Kinetic Yellow" designed to withstand bad weather or rough work on construction sites, and low visibility "Jungle Green" which blends with natural scenery.
FUNCTIONAL INTERIOR
Straightforward, practical and simple, every detail is carefully designed to realize a beautiful yet functional interior. The beautiful black interior has no frilly colors or embellishments to minimize distraction and allow the driver to focus on maneuvering the car. Horizontal lines defined by the instrument panel and vertical lines characterized by the cluster of meters and center console panels help the driver recognize the vehicle's angle in rough and mountainous terrain.
Everything around the driver and front passenger is built for professional use. Built for worry-free reliability, the grained instrument panel and surroundings are scratch and stain resistant, and the knob and switches are easy to operate, so they're easy to operate in off-road conditions as well as when wearing gloves. Cube-mounted meters are always backlit for clear off-road viewing when the vehicle frequently travels between sunlit and shaded areas. On higher trim levels, the machine can be equipped with an intuitive audio system with a 7-inch touch screen and support for audio playback from smartphones via Bluetooth®. A complete list of options and customization options can be found in the official pdf.
CARGO COMPARTMENT
Despite the modest trunk, with a capacity of less than 100 liters with rear passengers, it can be expanded by sliding the rear seats, creating a 352-liter luggage compartment, which is 53 liters more than its predecessor. With the seats fully folded, it will be possible to achieve a useful volume in the region of one cubic meter.
The rear seats and trim pads have been carefully designed to create a flat surface and increase storage width, and are covered in plastic for easy removal of dirt and stains. There are five screw holes on each side under the square windows, as well as four hook holes around the floor for flexible use of the luggage compartment.
UNCOMPROMISING RELIABILITY
Authentic SUVs must be tough enough to withstand the harshest conditions. From its frame structure to its 1.5-litre engine, the all-new Suzuki Jimny is built for hard-road adventure. The frame of high rigidity and torsion resistance provides a more comfortable and reliable ride on the road, and the steering damper mounted on the front suspension minimizes vibration and kickback on the steering wheel. Whether you're exploring the urban jungle, traveling the beaten path, or heading into the unknown, Jimny is sure to satisfy the adventurous minds of adventurers.
OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES
The Suzuki Jimny includes four essential ingredients for serious off-roading - a ladder-type frame, three corners, a coil-spring 3-point axle suspension and a hard-wired all-wheel drive with low gears in the transfer case. Designed for professionals, it features Suzuki's ALLGRIP PRO all-wheel drive system.
The ladder frame provides a solid base for the suspension components when driving off-road, and also helps protect the vehicle body on bumpy surfaces. For the new Suzuki Jimny, an "x-construction" and two additional crosses have been added for more reinforcement and increased torsional rigidity.
SUZUKI JIMNY 2018-2019 OFF-ROAD
The Jimny features twin-axle suspension, both front and rear, that flourishes when driving in bumpy terrain, allowing you to cruise even on rough roads. When one tire is pushed up by an obstacle, the dependent tire on the other side is pushed down, providing excellent traction on uneven ground.
The wide 37-degree (+2) approach angle, 28-degree (-4) ramp angle, and 49-degree (+23) exit angle allow the Jimny to negotiate obstacles and steep hills without scratching the bumper or bottom. When two wheels diagonally apart lose traction, the LSD traction control automatically brakes the slipping wheels to redistribute torque to the other side and allow the car to gain traction. This system allows Jimny to get out of slippery surfaces, as well as feel confident on roads with varying bumpiness.
1.5 L ENGINE
The original 1.3-litre engine has been replaced by a 1.5-litre engine that delivers more torque at all rpm despite being smaller. The new engine is 15% lighter than the one being replaced, which improves fuel efficiency, and has ample (130 Nm) torque at the bottom, which improves handling, especially when driving off-road, where low revs are often required.
GEARSHIFT BOXES
The 5-speed manual transmission has optimized gear ratios for the new engine and provides better fuel economy. The shift lever has been redesigned to reduce vibration and provide more precise feedback when shifting gears. The automatic 4-speed transmission has also been redesigned to provide less friction and better fuel economy. To simplify manipulation, the gear change pattern has been changed from the previous type of grille to a straight line.
SAFETY
The new Jimny model has 6 airbags, which is 4 more than its predecessor. Suzuki Safety Support is Suzuki's preventive safety technology that helps the driver avoid accidents and helps the driver stay calm during daily driving. With the help of two sensors (DSBS), if the system determines that there is a risk of a collision with a vehicle in front or a pedestrian, it issues an audible and visual warning, increases the braking force or applies heavy braking, as appropriate, to avoid a collision or reduce damage. Other features of the system include Lane and Sign Assist (a first for Suzuki), Lane Departure Warning, and automatic high/low beam switching for comfortable driving at night.
ON A NOTE
There is a version for the domestic market of Japan with a three-cylinder turbo engine of 660cc, 64 horsepower and 94 Nm of torque, which falls into the category of cars with reduced taxes. Externally, this model can be recognized by the missing wheel arches, the car has a smaller track, but larger wheels of 16 inches. Actually, this is the original Jimny in Japan, and our export version in the homeland is sold as the Suzuki Jimny Sierra.
Production and sales of Suzuki Jimny in Japan have already begun with a price tag of $15,000, and the car will reach Russia only in 2019, and based on the current price of 1.2 million rubles for a 2012 model with a 1.3-liter engine, we can assume that the new a generation with a one and a half liter engine will cost up to one and a half million rubles. And despite the exorbitant price tag, comparable to crossovers two classes higher, or three Lada 4x4 Urban
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.
Photo Suzuki Jimny 2018-2019
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 basis
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.

Safety
Going on a trip with your new Jimny, you can be sure that you are under reliable protection. The body and frame of the SUV are designed to dissipate energy in the event of an impact, and reinforcement beams are installed in the doors to prevent deformation of the passenger compartment.
To improve the safety of the car, the engineers worked in two directions:
- improved visibility and ergonomics;
- increased the speed of reaction in a dangerous situation.
For more comfortable driving, the SUV has a high seating position and good all-round visibility. In particular, for this, the spare wheel mount was moved lower so that it does not overlap the rear window. Heated windows and efficient windshield wipers maintain excellent visibility in all weather conditions.
Controllability
The compact size of the Suzuki Jimny becomes an indisputable advantage both in the city and beyond. Parking in a small area? No problem. Drive along a narrow path between trees? Easily! This small SUV demonstrates impressive capabilities and feels confident in any situation.

They also work to keep the vehicle stable. Small overhangs and large angles of ascent and exit will allow you to effortlessly overcome obstacles that other cars will give way to. Helps to keep the trajectory and power steering.
Three-channel anti-lock brakes with four sensors will take emergency braking to a whole new level. By reacting quickly to a potential emergency situation, you will retain control and be able to avoid obstacles.
All-wheel drive technologies
Few all-wheel drive SUVs can boast comfortable off-road and city operation, but the Suzuki Jimny is definitely one of them. The Drive Action 4x4 seamless all-wheel drive system gives you the ability to choose between rear-wheel drive (2WD) and all-wheel drive (4WD) and adjust in real time to changing weather or road conditions.
The new Jimny has two all-wheel drive modes:
- 4WDHigh - for smooth but slippery surfaces;
- 4WDLow - for driving on slippery roads on an uphill or downhill slope.
Choose the right mode, upshift or downshift, and stay in control of the road at all times.
You can buy Suzuki Jimny with one of two transmissions:
- five-speed "mechanics",
- four-speed automatic.
The automatic transmission has a gear hold function, which allows more efficient fuel consumption when driving at high speed.

Precise control, trouble-free operation and maintenance - in terms of technical characteristics, the fourth generation Jimny has absorbed all the best that its predecessors had, and supplemented it with advanced technological solutions.
Interior
While working on the interior of the new Suzuki Jimny, the designers were guided by the ideas of minimalism: the interior of the SUV turned out to be calm, concise, balanced and functional.
The priority is comfort and ease of use, so the front panels and finishing materials are exceptionally durable and reliable. Dirt is easily removed from them, so the interior will retain an attractive appearance for a long time.

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.
