CarTell take
We haven't driven the Jimny yet. On paper, long supply waitlists at most dealers, expect to queue. The 3-door interior is tight, with rear seats that are essentially symbolic.
Why consider it
- Genuine ladder-frame 4WD with live axles front and rear, low-range transfer case, 210 mm ground clearance and 36-degree approach on the 3-door.
- Strong residuals.
What to know
- 3-star ANCAP (2018), no adaptive cruise, the 4-speed auto is slow and thirsty on highway runs.
Who it suits
Trail seekers, beach and bush types, inner-city drivers who want something tiny, and second-car buyers. The XL 5-door solves the daily-driver problem.
