Suzuki Jimny 5-door Heritage Edition unveiled for Australia

The Suzuki Jimny XL is built in India and exported to Australia.

Suzuki has unveiled a new special 'Heritage' edition of the Jimny XL in Australia. The new Suzuki Jimny XL Heritage edition will be limited to just 500 units, paying tribute to the SUV's history from the 70s all the way to the 90s.

The Jimny XL is essentially the 5-door version of the 4x4 in Australia. The new Heritage Edition features special decals on the body, a unique cargo tray, red mud flaps and a 'Heritage' logo. The special edition Jimny XL will be offered in a range of colour options, which include White, Chiffon Ivory with Bluish Black Pearl roof, Jungle Green, Bluish Black Pearl and Granite Grey Metallic.

The Suzuki Jimny XL is built in India and exported to Australia. The Australia-spec Jimny 5-door is powered by the same 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine but offers a slightly higher output of 100 BHP and 130 Nm. It comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard.

The Jimny XL also gets features like a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, hill-hold & hill-descent control, auto climate control, LED headlights, 6 airbags and an ADAS suite with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) as standard.
