These gaps are recorded for the Jimny 1.5 GLX MT. Other derivatives in this range differ.
- 0-100 km/h (unverified) — An international technical database figure for the same 1.5-litre manual Jimny sold in Europe. A second reference gives a much slower bracket, so treat it as indicative until the manufacturer confirms it.
- Service plan services (unverified) — Worked out from the plan’s 60 000 km at 15 000 km between services. The plan also ends at 4 years, which would bring the count down if services fall due more often than once a year.

- Spare wheel — Not published in the sources checked.
- Service network — Service-outlet count not readable from the brand's South African locator.
