Its squared body proportions instil a sense of confidence and gives the driver better visibility of the surroundings especially on treacherous topography. It boasts of a strong body frame built with its upright A-pillars, and a flat clamshell bonnet offers a commanding view out of the cabin, allowing drivers to conquer challenging terrain. The Jimny with Its LED projector headlamps with washers, ensure visibility remains uncompromised in the toughest of conditions. The optimized bumpers with angled edges enhance wheel clearance for agile manoeuvring and the protective black textured sections safeguard against damage. Meticulously designed, the Jimny combines form, function, and innovation, augmenting the driving experience.

Effortless Practicality

The interiors of the Jimny are optimized through a minimalistic design to avoid distractions so that the driver stays focussed. This is achieved with basic black shades to avoid distraction while silver inserts highlight functional elements. The dashboard and centre console have been designed to maximise the driver’s awareness of the angle of the car on undulated surfaces. Sections of the interior have a pattern resembling the body of a high-grade single lens reflex camera that conceals small scratches, suppress reflections and are easy to grip. Jimny’s interior design is a perfect combination of practicality and utility. It offers a large boot space with a wide rear opening, making the loading and unloading of your luggage accessible and easy.

Off-Roading Pedigree

Experts hail the Jimny as the perfect blend of strength and agility. Built on the 4 essentials of an off-road machine – ample body angles, 3-link rigid axle suspension, ladder frame chassis, and ALLGRIP PRO (4WD), the Jimny instils unshakeable confidence in the driver. The ALLGRIP PRO (4WD) with low range transfer gear (4L mode) offers extreme off-road ability. It enables seamless shifting from 2H two-wheel drive to 4H four-wheel drive on-the-fly, providing unparalleled adaptability, while navigating adventurous ground. When the going gets really tough, the shift to 4L mode transforms the Jimny into a veritable mountain goat, allowing it to dominate even the most unforgiving off-road terrain with ease.
