Jimny 5-Door: Same Spirit, More Space

Suzuki’s iconic Jimny just got bigger - with the launch of the new Jimny 5-Door.

For more than 50 years, the Jimny has offered uncompromising off-road ability. The new Jimny 5-Door builds on this legacy. This isn’t just the release of a new vehicle; it’s a celebration of freedom, adventure, and the indomitable Kiwi spirit.

The new Jimny 5-Door opens up a world of possibilities for Kiwis craving exploration without sacrificing comfort and space.

Suzuki plan to launch the new Jimny with some epic invite only events. Jimny fanatics from across the country will get the chance to test out the Jimny 5-Door at Glenmore Station, Lake Tekapo and at the ultimate bush safari at Off Road NZ in Rotorua.

Iconic vehicles like the Jimny 5-Door don’t come along every day. Suzuki New Zealand has pulled out all the stops this year. With a catchy tagline, “Epic destinations, legendary journeys,” the launch encapsulates what the Jimny is all about — unbridled adventure and the joy of discovery. Suzuki’s marketing campaign taps into the heart of New Zealand’s outdoor culture, inviting families, friends, and solo adventurers to explore the nation’s stunning landscapes, from the misty fjords of Milford Sound to the rugged beauty of the Southern Alps.

The Jimny 3-door, with its rugged charm and off-road prowess, has long been a favourite. Its compact size and robustness make it a go-to choice for navigating tricky terrains. The 5-Door variant builds on this legacy, offering the same robust performance with added practicality. This new variant is poised to attract a broader audience, appealing to Kiwis who need more space for passengers and gear while still wanting the classic Jimny off-road experience.

The Jimny 5-Door keeps the Jimny’s iconic design language while extending its wheelbase and overall length. This allows for more interior space, significantly increasing cargo capacity and rear-seat legroom — a gain for adventuring with friends and family. Despite these enhancements, the Jimny 5-Door doesn’t compromise on its off-road capabilities. The approach and departure angles ensure it remains a formidable vehicle on rough terrains. And features like the touchscreen infotainment system, rear-view camera, and advanced safety features enhance your driving experience.
