RE While the Jimny has been built for everyday life, this is a 4x4 that turns every journey into something special. Its bold exterior has been designed to cope with whatever’s ahead, while always looking the part. It’s fun, stylish and spontaneous. Brawny doesn’t have to be bulky as this 4X4’s compact dimensions prove. Its tidy, short overhangs not only ramp up its off-road ability when the going gets tough, but also give great manoeuvrability. So getting through tight spots and parking is easy too. On a practical note, front fog lamps cut through mist and murk, giving you great visibility whatever the conditions. The Jimny’s 190mm ground clearance provides a superb vantage point both on and off road. While its bumper, grille and bonnet shape look just as sharp up a dirt track as they do in the city. And speaking of looks, its 15” alloy wheels* and rear privacy glass* ensure you’ll get plenty. The Jimny’s compact exterior is a big part of what’s made it an icon around the world. Climb aboard and get ready to explore. *SZ4 models only EXTERIOR | 05 WELCOME TO ACCESSORISE WITH PIONEER® MULTI-MEDIA UNIT ANyou’ll INTEbe spendingR loadsIO Rof time in. While everyone you pass will be admiring your Jimny from the outside, you’ll be getting to grips with an interior you can’t help but admire from the inside. Practicality doesn’t come at a price with the Jimny. It comes as standard. The dash is functional yet handsome, while the synthetic leather seats* are easy to clean, meaning mud can do its worst. When it’s hot outside air conditioning* brings the temperature down, so you and your passengers stay cool and collected. Around the cabin you’ll spot tons of clever stowing solutions, like a lockable glove box, centre console storage and front door pockets. In the back, the 50:50 split folding seats make all kinds of luggage easy to transport. And when you’re transporting a lot, there are 324 litres of space with the back seats folded or 113 litres when they’re up. You may be off the beaten track, but it doesn’t mean you can’t travel in comfort. *SZ4 models only INTERIOR | 07 OFF-ROAD Pthat’sERF alwaysO RMswitchedANCE on. Through spring, summer, autumn and winter, the Jimny begs to be driven. And this is one tough 4X4 that’s been built to cope with every season, on every road. The compact size together with excellent approach, departure and ramp-over angles mean the Jimny can manoeuvre over even the toughest terrain, and get you into remote spots that other 4x4s can’t manage. Its 190mm ground clearance gives you the altitude to tackle most landscapes, while its 4WD low range transfer gear offers exceptional performance in extreme off-road conditions. And although the Jimny is compact, it’s stronger than you think with a maximum towing weight that can handle a whopping 1,300kg with a braked trailer. Small but mighty. All year round, the Jimny is a 4x4 designed for adventure. Every time you climb aboard, there’s one waiting to happen.
