Suzuki Jimny 2024
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Marcus Craft had this to say at the time: The Suzuki Jimny XL is still very much a Jimny, just stretched. It’s pretty ordinary on-road, it’s on the wrong side of small – especially in terms of its cargo-carrying ability – and it’s still an exercise in driver-adaptability because it’s so basic, bouncy and requires so much effort to keep it driving in a straight line.

The Suzuki Jimny SUV competes with similar models like the Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage and Subaru Forester in the Under $40k category category.
The 2024 Suzuki Jimny carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1300 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Suzuki Jimny 2024 Interior
The Suzuki Jimny XL has a basic but comfortable cabin; cloth seats, hard, durable plastics, and everything, including the controls, is practical.
The XL is longer than the three-door Jimny so there is a bit more room inside the cabin, in general, but there is plenty of head, leg and shoulder room in the two-person rear seat.
There is also a little bit of extra space in the rear cargo area than in the three-door Jimny, allowing you some more flexibility in terms of what, and how much, you can pack in there.
Suzuki Jimny 2024 Engine
The five-door Jimny XL has the same 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine as the three-door – and that produces 75kW at 6000rpm and 130Nm at 4000rpm.
The XL is available with either a four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual gearbox.
It has a part-time four-wheel drive system with high- and low-range, and off-road traction control.

Do you know if Australia will get the new Suzuki Jimny five-door this year or next?
The backlog of orders for the retro little Suzuki Jimny means that buyers need to be patient. At the start of this year, Carsguide was told that the average waiting time between purchase and delivery in Australia was between six and eight months. While ever Suzuki is experiencing demand like that, you wouldn’t expect any rush to expand the range.
That said, reports have emerged that Suzuki has, indeed, green-lighted a five-door Jimny which would have those two extra doors as well as the possibility of a turbocharged engine and even a mild-hybrid driveline (mainly to suit European tastes). The five-door concept is said to be 300mm longer and will probably weigh a little more as well.
At this stage, rumours suggest the five-door wouldn’t be in production until 2023 at the very earliest, but given Australia’s demand for the two-door version, you’d expect Suzuki to give serious consideration to sending the five-door Down Under.

Stretching out service intervals?
As much as I don't like to recommend that you don't service your car I think in this case you could extend the time between services, but don't let it go beyond 12 months.

Ongoing issues with 2000 Suzuki Jimny
Because of the long time that has passed since the crash it will be very hard to connect the problems you are having to the prang. Crank angle sensors often fail on all makes and models, I wouldn't attribute that to the crash, and the head and head gasket problems you have had are unlikely to be related either. The second instance of head cracking and the head gasket failure are more likely to be the result of poor repairs to the head when it first cracked.
