Suzuki Jimny 5-door: Affordable option for Southeast Asian markets, with a lower price than the 3-door version in Vietnam

Aside from the difference in dimensions and door style, the design of the 5-door and 3-door Jimny remains the same. The car still carries a boxy shape, like a “mini G-Class”.

The car makes an impression with its round LED headlights, which have an automatic high-low beam adjustment feature. Meanwhile, the standard GL version only has halogen headlights.

As for the interior, the cabin of the Jimny 5-door is no different from the 3-door version. The car still has 4 seats and a luggage compartment capacity of 208L, which can be increased to 332L when the rear seats are folded.

The car features basic amenities such as a steering wheel with volume control buttons, an analog instrument panel integrated with a small multi-information display with a classic design, a 7-inch touchscreen, support for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a 4-speaker audio system.

Customers who purchase the high-grade GLX variant will also be equipped with leather seats, a 9-inch center touchscreen, automatic air conditioning, and automatic folding rearview mirrors.

In terms of safety equipment, the car possesses a range of driving assist features such as 2 airbags (the GLX variant will have 6 airbags), ABS anti-lock braking system, electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), electronic stability control, hill start assist, reverse camera, and rear parking sensors.
