The Suzuki Jimny 5-door made its debut in the Indian market back in June 2023. Currently, this model is only assembled at the plant in India.
After many Asian markets, the Suzuki Jimny 5-door finally arrived in the Japanese domestic market as a completely built unit imported from India. This is the second Suzuki model to be imported from India into Japan, after the Fronx.
The Suzuki Jimny 5-door debuts in the domestic market with a new name, imported from India.
In the land of the rising sun, the Suzuki Jimny 5-door is renamed the Nomade to differentiate it from the 3-door version. Nomade, derived from the French word “nomad,” symbolizes a free spirit, a love for exploration, and a penchant for movement. Suzuki has previously used the Nomade name for some versions of its SUV models, such as the Vitara.
Similar to its Indian counterpart, the Suzuki Jimny Nomade boasts dimensions of 3,890 mm in length, 1,645 mm in width, and 1,725 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,590 mm. Compared to the 3-door model, this variant is 340 mm longer and has a slightly higher height of 5 mm. The vehicle offers a ground clearance of 210 mm. The extended length of the Suzuki Jimny Nomade is evident in the rear door area, making it more convenient for passengers to enter and exit the vehicle.

Aside from the dimensions and the number of doors, the Suzuki Jimny Nomade doesn’t stray far from the design of the 3-door version. It features a traditional vertical slat grille, but with a chrome finish to distinguish it from its sibling and impart a more premium feel.

Additionally, the front and rear bumpers, as well as the fender flares, are made of unpainted black plastic. Two new color options are introduced: Sizzling Red Metallic and Celestial Blue Pearl Metallic. In total, customers can choose from six different colors. The Nomade also comes equipped with LED lighting and 15-inch alloy wheels.
