Full specifications
| Engine capacity | 1.5 L |
| Cylinders | 4noteSuzuki Auto South Africa, Jimny 5-Door specifications page,. "4" cylinders, 1.5ℓ engine, stated identically for all three Jimny 5-Door grades. This record is the GLX 4AT and the figure is taken from that grade’s own column, not carried from the GL or the 5MT. |
| Power | 75 kWnoteSuzuki Auto South Africa, Jimny 5-Door specifications page,. "75Kw @ 6 000 r/min", stated identically for all three Jimny 5-Door grades. This record is the GLX 4AT and the figure is taken from that grade’s own column, not carried from the GL or the 5MT. |
| Torque | 130 NmnoteSuzuki Auto South Africa, Jimny 5-Door specifications page,. "130Nm @ 4 000 r/min", stated identically for all three Jimny 5-Door grades. This record is the GLX 4AT and the figure is taken from that grade’s own column, not carried from the GL or the 5MT. |
| Transmission | 4-speed automatic |
| Gears | 4 |
| Drivetrain | 4x4noteSuzuki SA markets 'ALLGRIP PRO 4WD system'; recorded as 4x4 per this catalogue's enum. |
| Consumption cycle | Combined cycle (test standard not stated by manufacturer)noteCycle not named; recorded as sa_combined_unstated. The 6.7 L/100km figure itself remains an official manufacturer-published number -- only the cycle label is unconfirmed. |
| Fuel consumption | 6.7 L/100kmnoteSuzuki SA states 'From 6.7u2113/100km' specifically for the 4AT (5MT variants are stated at 6.4u2113/100km); the 4AT-specific figure was used to match this derivative. |
| Fuel tank | 40 LnoteSuzuki South Africa Jimny 5-Door brochure, CAPACITIES: “Fuel tank capacity (litres) 40”. A single figure, split by nothing. now that Suzuki South Africa’s own document has been read. |
| Fuel grade | 95 / 93 unleadednoteEither South African grade. Suzuki asks for unleaded petrol of at least 91 RON for this engine, which both 93 and 95 meet. Use 95 if the label inside the fuel flap asks for it. |
| Range | 597 kmnoteWorked out from the tank size and the claimed consumption, rounded down. |
| 0-100 km/h | 17.47 snoteAbout 17.5 seconds, measured in an Indian road test of the five-door Jimny automatic; another Indian test got 15.7 seconds. |
| CO2 emissions | 161 g/km · NZ-market sourcenoteSuzuki New Zealand's figure for the same five-door Jimny with the 1.5 engine and four-speed automatic: 161 g/km on the NEDC cycle (179 g/km on the WLTP conversion). |
| Seats | 4noteSuzuki South Africa’s Jimny 5-Door brochure states a seating capacity of four. |
| Doors | 5 |
| Length | 3 965 mmnoteSuzuki South Africa Jimny 5-Door brochure prints overall length as two sub-rows: “Front bumper to rear bumper (mm) 3 820” and “Front bumper to spare wheel (mm) 3 965”. The held figure is the second — the vehicle’s true overall length including the tailgate-mounted spare., with the basis recorded because the brochure publishes both. |
| Width | 1 645 mmnoteSuzuki South Africa Jimny 5-Door brochure, DIMENSIONS: “Overall width (mm) 1 645”, a single unsplit figure. |
| Height | 1 720 mmnoteSuzuki South Africa Jimny 5-Door brochure, DIMENSIONS: “Overall height (mm) 1 720”, a single unsplit figure. |
| Wheelbase | 2 590 mmnoteSuzuki South Africa Jimny 5-Door brochure, DIMENSIONS: “Wheelbase (mm) 2 590”, a single unsplit figure. This is the five-door figure; the three-door is a different vehicle. |
| Ground clearance | 210 mmnoteSuzuki SA states '210mm Ground Clearance' directly on the model page. |
| Boot (behind 2nd row) | 211 Lnotefive-seater; last row is the second row. |
| Boot (behind last row) | 211 LnoteSuzuki SA states '211u2113 Boot Space' directly on the model page. |
| Boot (seats folded) | 1 113 LnoteSuzuki South Africa Jimny 5-Door brochure, CAPACITIES: “Luggage capacity Max volume (litres) 1 113”. |
| Boot (standard) | VDAnoteSuzuki South Africa Jimny 5-Door brochure prints “(VDA method)” on both seating-state luggage rows — “Rear seatback raised (VDA method) (litres) 211” and “Rear seatback folded (VDA method) (litres) 332”. Corrects a held unknown: the standard is named in the manufacturer’s own document. The qualifier is not printed on the max-volume row. |
| Kerb weight | 1 200 kgnoteSuzuki South Africa Jimny 5-Door brochure, WEIGHTS: the 4AT kerb-weight pair reads 1 200–1 215 kg (“min./with full option”), so 1 200 kg is the minimum, per the standing rule to take the bound Suzuki labels. See the payload note on the unheaded column caveat. |
| Gross vehicle mass | 1 545 kgnoteSuzuki South Africa Jimny 5-Door brochure, WEIGHTS: “Gross vehicle weight (kg) 1 545”, a single figure covering both transmissions. |
| Payload | 345 kgnoteGross vehicle weight 1 545 kg minus kerb weight 1 200 kg. Because the kerb figure is a stated minimum, 345 kg is a maximum payload; a fully-optioned car (1 215 kg) carries about 330 kg. One caveat on the join: the brochure’s WEIGHTS row prints two kerb-weight pairs (1 185–1 200 and 1 200–1 215) with NO column heading above them. The natural reading is 5MT then 4AT, since the transmission table is the only two-column structure in the document — but that mapping is not printed, and 1 200 kg happens to sit at the top of the first pair and the bottom of the second, so the value is safe even if the attribution is inferred. |
| Towing (braked) | 1 300 kg · AU-market sourcenoteSuzuki Australia's Jimny XL (5-door), automatic transmission u2014 matches the SA record's engine, transmission and body exactly. Closest available match; not confirmed identical to the SA-market car. |
| Towing (unbraked) | 350 kg · AU-market sourcenoteSuzuki Australia's Jimny XL (5-door), automatic transmission u2014 matches the SA record's engine, transmission and body exactly. Closest available match; not confirmed identical to the SA-market car. |
| Safety rating | No crash-test rating for this versionnoteNo safety programme has tested the five-door Jimny. Euro NCAP’s and ANCAP’s Jimny ratings are both scoped by the issuing bodies themselves to three-door variants — ANCAP: “applies to all three-door variants” — and both have since expired (ANCAP December 2024). Global NCAP has never tested any Jimny, three-door or five-door. There is no programme to name, so this is an open question rather than an inapplicable field. |
| Airbags | 6noteSuzuki SA states 'Six Airbags (GLX)', matching this GLX-trim derivative. |
| Airbag positions | SRS front dual airbags, SRS side airbags, SRS curtain airbagsnoteSuzuki Auto South Africa, Jimny 5-Door specifications page,. Suzuki lists the GLX grades as carrying "SRS front dual airbags" plus "SRS side airbags" and "SRS curtain airbags"; the GL carries the front pair only, so this is the GLX column specifically. Recorded as Suzuki’s own itemisation — the existing “Airbags” of 6 was not re-derived from it. |

What we can't tell you yet
Everything below was searched for. Lines marked (unverified) show a figure that only one source gives, or that sources disagree on; the rest have not been published anywhere we could find for this version.
- 0-100 km/h (unverified) — About 17.5 seconds, measured in an Indian road test of the five-door Jimny automatic; another Indian test got 15.7 seconds.
- Service network — Not established. The 118 this record previously carried could not be reproduced from any Suzuki source, and the three figures in its old basis - 121 pages, a count of 118, a range of 115-120 - do not reconcile with each other.
- Wading depth — Not published for this version.
