Suzuki Jimny Returns: 2015 Price And Features For Australia

Look who's back.

We haven’t written at length about the Suzuki Jimny since our last review in 2009, but you best believe the compact and capable 4x4 has soldiered on.

Astonishingly, 2015 will see Suzuki’s tiny hero march into its 17th year on the global market - and it will bring a few tweaks with it.

For the new model year, Suzuki Australia’s Jimny Sierra picks up new 15-inch alloy wheels and - more importantly - electronic stability control.

The update means the Jimny can again be brought into Australia, after strict ESC laws introduced late last year saw Suzuki's local arm offering only what it could ship in for compliance before the deadline kicked in. 

Other tweaks for 2015 include a new steering wheel design, a new instrument cluster, and new seat trim.

For the new model year, Suzuki Australia is highlighting the Jimny’s virtues not only off the beaten path, but also as a ‘city car’.

“The Jimny Sierra has always been an off-road icon - and now its retro styling and great value sees Sierra appealing to more younger buyers as a small hatch alternative,” Suzuki Australi GM Andrew Moore says.
