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

Bought a 3door manual in 2021 for 36000 including all the on road costs. Even the 3door with the 1.5 was so underpowered. I love them but not a 40000aud car!!! Sold ours a few months ago now. 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

By this point I was hoping they would put a 1.4l booster jet turbo engine paired with a 6 speed automatic in it. The extra doors and seats makes the jimmy bigger and heavier. The 2 door variant was already struggling with power with its pathetic 1.5l and an outdated 4 speed auto. This thing would feel so much more gutless. Ain’t no fucking way I’m paying 40k for this

@big5astra 8 ай бұрын

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.
