Suzuki Jimny 5-door’s Next Launch Market Is Australia

• Suzuki teases Jimny 5-door in Australia, via official website. 
• Australia will be the next market where the Jimny will go on sale after India. 
• Will be one of the few markets where both the three-door and five-door models are on sale together. 
• The Jimny for Australia will be exported from the carmaker's plant in India. 

CONFIRMED! The Suzuki Jimny 5-door’s next launch market is Australia and the larger SUV has been teased there via the carmaker’s official website. It will be one of the first markets where both the three- and five-door versions of the Jimny will be on the shelves together. So if you want something cool, you have the three-door while the five-door focusses on practically. 

The Jimny 5-door for the Australian market will be exported from the carmaker’s plant in India. So you can expect the SUV sold there to be very similar to the one we get here. Main differences between the two SUVs are in the dimensions front, which have been detailed below:

In terms of styling, the five-door Jimny looks almost identical to the three-door model, except for its elongated length, and the slightly different finish to the grille. Even on the inside, the dashboard layout and design is the same between the two. However, the five-door SUV gets a larger 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system instead of the smaller 7-inch unit seen on the three-door model.

One thing that’s common between both Jimnys is the engine. Both get a 105PS 1.5-litre petrol engine specced with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed torque converter automatic. And regardless of the transmission, four-wheel drive with low range is standard for improved off-roading performance. 

In India, the Jimny 5-door is priced from Rs 12.74 lakh and comes in two broad variants. It currently locks horns with the Mahindra Thar and Force Gurkha, both of which are currently offered in their three-door guise. Soon, both the models will also get larger five-door versions that will be larger alternatives to the Jimny.
