New Jimny Soft Top


Engine and transmission

Jimny is powered by a 16-valve, 1.3-litre engine with electronic multi-point fuel injection. The unit is made almost exclusively from aluminium, bringing the benefits of light weight and fuel efficiency.

Power is transmitted via a five-speed manual transmission or - as an option - a four speed automatic transmission with a mechanical lock-up function which helps eliminate torque slip and enhance fuel consumption.

A transfer box, which allows the use of high or low four wheel drive ratios, is operated by a lever behind the main transmission selector lever. Jimny is fitted, as standard, with Suzuki's Drive Action 4x4 system and with automatic freewheeling hubs. 'High Ratio' four wheel drive can be selected on the move whilst travelling in a straight line at speeds of up to 62mph/100kph.

Chassis and Suspension

Eight mounts securely attach the body panels to the full box-section chassis, forming a solid structure. The rigid front and rear axles are attached to the chassis with a three-link arrangement controlled by coil springs and gas dampers and are configured to cope with all types of surface.

Both springs and dampers are separated to give a longer suspension travel that is ideal for use on rough surfaces. On normal roads this configuration, coupled with a stabiliser bar at the front, gives a compliant ride whilst it is also designed to deal effectively with unmade roads and tracks.

Accessories

Alloy wheels* in a variety of different, stylish designs, spare wheel covers, distinctive graphics, door sills, dash and exterior light trims, fog lamps and much more are included in a wide range of items that will add to the Jimny's individual personality.

All the accessories have been designed to enhance the rugged, smart and fashionable appearance of both Estate and Soft Top models and the lifestyles of their owners.

An even wider choice

The new Suzuki Jimny JLX Soft Top adds further strength and even wider choice to the Suzuki 4x4 range, now - with eight distinctive and individual models and variants - the most comprehensive from any manufacturer.

Priced at £9,980 or even less, including delivery and 'on the road' charges, for the manual model, this highly appealing, immensely affordable Soft Top uniquely brings 4x4 motoring, cabriolet-style, within the reach and budget of many tens of thousands of UK motorists and especially to those for whom lifestyle and leisure activities are a high priority.

Suzuki Support

The New Suzuki Jimny 1.3 JLX Soft Top - as with all Suzuki models -is covered by Suzuki Shield, a 3 year / 60,000 mile new vehicle warranty and 6 year perforation warranty and by Suzuki Assistance, providing 24 hour roadside assistance, vehicle recovery and associated services for 36 months. They are available with Suzuki Low Cost Insurance and can be purchased with the help of a wide range of tailor-made finance plans available from Suzuki Finance.

A full range of custom designed Suzuki Exclusive lifestyle, sports and leisure time accessories is available for the new Jimny Soft Top.
