Small in stature but packing a real punch off-road, the next-generation of the popular Suzuki Jimny is loaded with new features and sports a fresh design.
Ever since the release of the first version back in 1970, it has garnered a cult following among off-road enthusiasts for its endearing personality and 4x4 prowess.

According to Suzuki South Africa, the Jimny will be available to consumers provisionally from November 2018.
