5-door Suzuki Jimny leaked ahead of official debut

KUALA LUMPUR: It is no secret that the 5-door Suzuki Jimny is in the making as the spy shots of the longer off-road SUV have been circulating for more than 2 years now. According to the reports, the Jimny five-door is expected to debut in India at the 2023 Auto Expo, starting from January 11, 2023. Well, ahead of the debut, the much-anticipated SUV is in front of us without any drapes.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How is the 5-door Suzuki Jimny different from the 3-door model?

    Compared to the 3-door model, the 5-door Suzuki Jimny features a longer wheelbase with a larger body shell and two additional doors.
  • When will the 5-door Suzuki Jimny debut?

    The 5-door Suzuki Jimny is expected to make an official debut in India at the 2023 Auto Expo, starting from January 11, 2023.
  • The SUV was spied somewhere in North India while undergoing the final round of tests and shows its rear three-quarter view apparently for the first time.

    So, how is the 5-door Suzuki Jimny different from its 3-door sibling available in several markets, including Malaysia?

    The leaked images confirm that the upcoming version of the rugged SUV features a longer wheelbase with a larger body shell and two additional doors. It is clearly much longer than the 3-door iteration as it is set to measure around 3,850 mm in length. The wheelbase is expected to be longer by 300 mm at 2,550 mm.

    While the rear doors appear smaller than the front ones, the rear styling continues to be the same with a door-mounted spare tyre, a side opening door, and the identical tail lights as the 3-door model. The front fascia of the SUV also looks identical with a few expected cosmetic tweaks.

    The snapped vehicle sports the same Kinetic Yellow exterior shade with which we are familiar, however, the roof on the 5-door Jimny is body-coloured instead of the black offered with the 3-door model. It also boasts the same 15-inch alloys as the latter.

    While the interior of the 5-door Jimny is still under wraps, the earlier spy shots suggest that the SUV will be kitted with a bigger 9.0-inch central display and other creature comforts such as automatic climate control, cruise control, steering-mounted controls, and a 360-degree camera.

    Under the bonnet, the longer Jimny is expected to borrow the 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated 4-cylinder mill from the 3-door version, generating a maximum power of 102 PS and a peak torque of 130 Nm. Transmission duties are likely to be performed by a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual gearbox. 

    Will Suzuki bring the 5-door Jimny to Malaysia or not is yet to be revealed.
