Suzuki Vietnam offers attractive incentives for its small SUV, the Jimny, alongside the XL7. During November 2024, customers who purchase the Suzuki Jimny can choose one of two gifts, each worth VND 35 million:
- Gift 1: 0% interest rate on a car loan for the first 12 months.
- Gift 2: A travel voucher to Japan, valid from 01/11/2024 to 28/02/2025.
Suzuki Vietnam is offering to cover the interest rate for the first year for customers who opt for a 50/50 or 50/50 plus loan package provided by Toyota Financial Services, subject to approval during the promotional period.
The travel voucher cannot be exchanged for cash once issued and delivered to the customer. It is non-transferable, and will become invalid if damaged or torn. The voucher is applicable for travel and services provided by Vietravel, including all branches nationwide.
The Jimny is one of only two passenger car models that Suzuki distributes in Vietnam, the other being the XL7. This small SUV was introduced to the Vietnamese market in April 2024, with two versions priced at VND 789-799 million.
With a high price tag, the SUV, dubbed the “mini Mercedes-Benz G-Class,” has seen modest sales. Additionally, the Jimny is imported from Japan in limited quantities. In September 2024, Suzuki sold 58 units, bringing the year-to-date total to 319 units.
Despite its price, which is on par with SUVs in the C-segment like the Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, and Ford Territory, the Jimny is relatively small and offers only four seats and basic features. These include LED headlights, 15-inch alloy wheels, a spare tire mounted on the rear door, an analog instrument cluster with a small multi-information display, a grab handle for the front passenger on the dashboard, a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with support for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Autolink, USB, and Bluetooth Control Music Play, among others.

However, the Jimny boasts a true SUV chassis with a ladder frame. It’s powered by a 1.5L K15B four-cylinder engine that produces 101 horsepower and 130 Nm of torque, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and a part-time four-wheel-drive system with a low-range transfer case. The vehicle can also switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive.
