More than 50 years of innovation and refinement have kept the Jimmy at the forefront as the world’s smallest authentic off-roader. And now the birth of the five-door version brings even greater versatility into play as it aims to meet the expectations of an even wider audience.

The new Jimny 5-door combines full-fledged off-road performance with enhanced access and comfortable seating for four adults.

Practical and Functional Design

Exterior

The 5-door model inherits all of the Jimny’s practical and functional design elements.

Its strong square body expresses off-road ability and robustness, while enhancing driver situational awareness.

The upright A-pillars and flat clamshell bonnet enhance front visibility, while dipped driver and passenger window lines expand side visibility.

The 5-door model’s grille features chrome accents and a distinctive five-slot design, with round headlamps and 15-inch dark-metallic alloy wheels accentuating the robust exterior styling.

Body Colours

The Jimny 5-door is available in six single tone colours and three dual tone colours. Sizzling Red Metallic with Bluish Black Pearl roof, Celestial Blue Metallic, and Granite Gray Metallic are new to Jimny for the 5-door model.

Interior

The practical and functional theme continues inside. Carefully crafted to be aesthetically pleasing yet highly functional, the handsome black interior is without excessive colours or decoration to minimise distraction, and lets the driver concentrate on manoeuvring the vehicle.

The horizontal lines defining the instrument panel, and the vertical lines in the meter cluster and centre console panels help the driver recognise the angle of the vehicle in rough and mountainous terrain.

Rear seat

The rear seat now has thicker cushions for better seating posture and comfortably fits two adults.

The rear seat lamp is positioned above passengers for improved lighting, and power window switches are conveniently located in both rows.

Luggage Space

The 5-door model has a larger luggage area due to its extended wheelbase. Luggage capacity has been increased to 211L (rear seatback raised) with improved user-friendliness, including a luggage area lamp and no toolbox to make loading and unloading easier.

Off-road Performance

The Jimny five-door is built for serious off-roading, with a ladder frame, three-link rigid axle suspension, and part-time four-wheel-drive with low range transfer gear. Its authentic off-road ruggedness and maneuverability make it the perfect partner for adventurers and wilderness professionals worldwide.
