Made-in-India Jimny 5-door gets ADAS in Australia

In Australia, the Jimny XL will be sold alongside the 3-door version.

Suzuki has launched the Jimny 5-door in Australia. The off-roader has been christened Jimny XL down-under.

The Jimny XL is manufactured in India and exported to Australia. It measures 3,985 mm in length, which is 340 mm longer than the three-door version that is already on sale in the country. It looks identical to the India-spec Jimny.

Inside, the Jimny XL features a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, a twin-dial instrument cluster and a 3-spoke steering wheel.

Moreover, the Australia-spec Jimny 5-door gets ADAS, with safety features like Autonomous Emergency Braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, high-beam assist and weaving alert. The SUV also gets 6 airbags, ESC and traction control as standard.

Powering the Jimny XL is a 1.5-litre petrol engine that makes 100 BHP and 130 Nm, which is slightly less than the Indian version. The engine is mated with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic and a four-wheel drive system.
