Suzuki Jimny 5-door bookings open in South Africa

The Suzuki Jimny 3-door is also available in the South African market.

Suzuki recently showcased the Jimny 5-door at the Festival of Motoring 2023 in South Africa. The carmaker has also commenced registrations ahead of its launch.

The South Africa-spec Jimny could be offered in two variants - GL and GLX and is likely to get a new Military Green exterior colour that isn't available in India.

Inside, the Jimny comes equipped with a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a rearview camera.

The off-roader will be powered by a 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine, just like the India-spec Jimny. This engine puts out 103 BHP and 134 Nm and is paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic. The Jimny also gets Suzuki's AllGrip Pro 4x4 system as standard.
