Getting More Expensive, 2024 Suzuki Jimny Starts at RM 174,180. Is it a Financial Wizard?

Who says that off-road vehicles must necessarily be powerful pickups or SUVs with large horsepower and torque and that they must use engines with a displacement of over 2,500cc to pass through off-road routes that ordinary vehicles cannot navigate but are relatively small?

Suzuki Jimny tells you with its strength that it can also make it, and has won a lot of fans. According to the information on the Malaysian Suzuki official website, the current Suzuki Jimny is priced as follows:

Small but can go anywhere

Powerwise, the Suzuki Jimny is equipped with a 4-cylinder gasoline engine, code-named K15B, with a displacement of 1,500 cc. The maximum horsepower is 102PS (6,000 rpm), and the maximum torque is 130Nm (4,000 rpm), matched with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Rhythm 4WD drive system, combined with a short body and lightweight design, can take you anywhere you want to go.

Exterior

The exterior design of the Suzuki Jimny is 3,480mm long, 1,645mm wide, and 1,720mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,250mm, ground clearance of 210mm, 15-inch alloy wheels, and tire size 195/80 R15. The rear of the car is equipped with a spare tire like a regular off-road vehicle. The body size is not very large, so anyone who sees it will tell you that it is very cute.

Some people say that, from today's aesthetic perspective, Suzuki Jimny seems a bit out of time, a retro vibe, but that's also where Suzuki Jimny is unique. After all, those who buy it don't care about these things, right?

Interior

The interior design of Suzuki Jimny still maintains a minimalist style, and the front instrument panel continues the traditional design. Those who have sat in a Suzuki before will find it very familiar. Adjusting the position and field of vision in Suzuki Jimny is not difficult. The multimedia system in the central control supports the connection of Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

Automatic transmission vehicles can adjust their driving modes, with three options available: 2H, 4H, and 4L, to suit different road conditions. When driving in the city, using the 2H mode typically results in an average fuel consumption of around 10-12 kilometers per liter. When encountering steep mountainous roads, you can switch to the 4H mode, while in adverse road conditions, or when better off-road performance is needed, you can use the 4L mode.

When you get into the car, you'll find it's a car best suited for two people to travel in, no more than three people. Although the rear seats provide passenger seats, the leg space for passengers is relatively narrow, which may be uncomfortable for long journeys.

Safety

Suzuki Jimny is quite modern in terms of safety systems. For example, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Tire Pressure Monitoring Display, Hill Hold Control, etc. There are 6 safety airbags, both the old and the new models meet the 3-star safety standard of Euro NCAP. There is also an Electronic Brake force Distribution system (EBD), Traction Control system, and distance-related sensors.

Conclusion

If you are a person who likes modern design cars, Suzuki Jimny may not be your choice because the body is quite simple and solid without any fancy design, and the configuration is not like today's modern cars. But if you are a person who likes adventure and uniqueness, Suzuki Jimny is considered a good choice. After all, those who buy Suzuki Jimny wouldn't care about the configuration.
