2023 jimny review

The 2023 Suzuki Jimny is a shoebox on a ladder frame, and that’s precisely why it’s brilliant.

Under the bonnet sits a 1.5‑litre NA four (75 kW/130 Nm) driving part‑time 4x4 via a 5‑speed manual or 4‑speed auto; it sips about 6.4–6.9 L/100 km if you’re gentle.

On-road it waddles and chatters, but off-road those rigid axles and short overhangs make it a mountain goat with square headlights.

Practicality is “bring a backpack”: ~85 L of boot with the seats up, 1,300 kg braked towing, and an older 3‑star ANCAP rating.

Interior tech is basic-but-usable, resale is comically strong, and the grin-per-kilometre is off the charts.

Consult official documentation for exact figures.
