2015 Suzuki Jimny launched

Suzuki’s elderly Jimny SUV is still around and it’s getting some extra equipment.

Additional standard specification across the range includes electronic stability control, tyre pressure monitoring and a gear shift indicator. Furthermore the SZ3 trim grade gains a redesigned seat fabric, while the SZ4 features new 15” alloy wheels that have a dark silver finish.

Mechanically things are unchanged, which means power continues to come from a 1.3 litre petrol engine that sends its 83 bhp (63 kW / 85 PS) to an on-demand four-wheel drive system.

UK prices for the entry-level Jimny SZ3 start from £12,195. Opt for the SZ4 instead and the cost rises to £13,645, or £14,545 if an automatic transmission is ordered.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
