That Jimny XL 5 door should be priced at $28990. When Suzuki released the 3 door model back in 2019 it was priced at $23,990 then Covid hit and they kept increasing the prices and blaming in on Covid. All they were doing is making more money. Now a 3 door Jimny manual is $30,490. Even the 2019 Suzuki Vitara manual has had a massive price increase. Use to be $22,490 now its $29,990

Think Suzuki missed a trick not putting in the 1.8 or 2ltr in either the 3 or 5 door but guess that’s prob down to carbon tax e.g emission reasons

With the decent low range, it seems to be geared towards off-road users. But I think Suzuki have lost an opportunity here because of the very small space in the rear. Looking at the dynamics, they could have lengthened the rear by up to 150mm or even 200mm and not sacrificed departure angle. Then you could have had a decent amount of loading space for camping etc.
