The Suzuki Jimny: A Unique Success Story

The Suzuki Jimny boasts a long and storied history. Its predecessor, the LJ10, debuted in 1970 as the first mass-produced all-wheel-drive vehicle in the Japanese small car segment. The LJ80, introduced in 1978, expanded Suzuki's global reach, selling in 109 countries, including Germany. Unlike traditional large and heavy off-road vehicles, the LJ80 (Light Jeep) was compact, with switchable all-wheel drive, off-road reduction, and a rear differential lock, excelling in dense forests and narrow mountain paths.

The LJ80, affectionately known as the "Eljot," sparked a newfound enthusiasm for four-wheel-drive vehicles, establishing Suzuki as the largest off-road brand in Germany and leading to the creation of a successful 4x4 family. Suzuki's small off-road vehicles, including the LJ, Samurai, and Jimny, attracted customers from forestry and construction industries and a young audience interested in active leisure activities.

The fourth-generation Jimny, introduced in 2018, retained the key characteristics of its predecessors while reinventing itself. Weighing just 1,090 kilograms, it remains one of the lightest in the off-road segment and offers exceptional maneuverability. Its 1.5-liter petrol engine delivers 75 kW (102 hp) and a maximum torque of 130 Nm. With a robust ladder frame, rigid wheel suspension, and ALLGRIP PRO all-wheel drive with off-road reduction, the Jimny is equipped for serious off-road adventures. Since 2021, Suzuki has offered the Jimny as a commercial vehicle variant with two seats, a large luggage compartment (863 liters), and a flat loading floor.
