Recently, the Japanese automaker has announced significant upgrades to the safety and convenience features of the Suzuki Jimny, a rugged SUV designed for off-road adventures.
The 2026 three-door Jimny will be equipped with the advanced Dual Sensor Brake Support II, an automatic emergency braking system. Additional safety enhancements include lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, automatic headlights, and enhanced cybersecurity measures to meet the latest safety standards.
Notably, automatic transmission models now feature adaptive cruise control and anti-rollback technology, previously exclusive to the Nomade variant. These updates significantly improve the Jimny’s urban usability while preserving its legendary off-road capabilities.
The 2026 Jimny’s design remains largely unchanged, much to the delight of its fans. Its boxy, muscular silhouette continues to embody the quintessential off-road SUV aesthetic. In an era where many vehicles lean towards crossover designs, the Jimny stands out with its unique, bold character.
The Jimny’s accessory market, both OEM and aftermarket, remains vibrant, offering enthusiasts countless customization options. From off-road bumpers and auxiliary lights to colorful trim accents, owners can personalize their Jimny to reflect their individual style.
In Japan, Suzuki continues to offer the Jimny as a kei car, adhering to strict regulations regarding size and engine displacement. This variant features a narrower body, omitting the wide fender flares of the global model (Jimny Sierra), and includes additional side mirrors to enhance visibility and reduce blind spots.
The 2026 Jimny’s cabin receives subtle upgrades, including a 4.2-inch multi-info display integrated into the traditional analog instrument cluster, blending modern convenience with classic design.
An optional 9-inch infotainment system, borrowed from the Swift, offers smart connectivity and sharper graphics. However, standard models retain the robust plastic center console, a testament to the Jimny’s durability and practicality, true to its off-road heritage.
Under the hood, the 2026 Jimny retains its familiar engine options:
The kei car variant features a turbocharged 658cc three-cylinder engine producing 63 horsepower, while the Jimny Sierra boasts a naturally aspirated 1.5L engine with 103 horsepower.
Both models come with a part-time 4WD system, a body-on-frame chassis, and a choice of a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.
In Japan, the 2026 Suzuki Jimny sees a slight price increase, ranging from ¥1,920,000 to ¥2,160,000 (approximately $13,300 – $14,900 USD) for the kei car and ¥2,270,000 to ¥2,390,000 ($15,700 – $16,500 USD) for the Jimny Sierra.
