.............................................................
Introducing the Suzuki Jimny Commercial!
That’s right, the Jimny is back from its emission-regulations death, and it’s now a commercial vehicle!
So what do you get with the new Jimny? Well in terms of design… It’s exactly the same as the passenger version released back in 2018! However, don’t expect it to come with any thrills or mod-cons - it’s based on the entry-level edition. As a result, you’ll only find halogen headlights up front, and just steel wheels instead of alloys, to name just a few features.
However, there’s one key area of difference compared to the passenger edition - the rear seats have been stripped out and replaced with a cage! It makes for a suitably sizeable boot, however, with 836-litres available! Take a peek under the bonnet, and you’ll find exactly the same engine as before - the 1.5-litre petrol that can deliver 101hp & 130Nm.
The question is, should you really buy this for personal rather than professional use? And if so, can it really justify the increased £20,000 price tag?! Well, Mat’s about to find out!

Have also bought a Mercedes EQB in the last month ,with a view to saving tax rather than the planet(sorry). Bought both from around London and drove them both 3 hrs back up to Lincolnshire. Got out the Jimny as fresh as a daisy. My back was killing me when I got out the EQB.

As someone who owns one of these there brilliant (bought via a business). I’m 5ft11 and I can get comfortable quite easily. Just finished a weeks holiday in the Peak District driving everyday to go walking and I never felt uncomfortable. True you can’t drive it fast, but we knew that when we bought. Our only niggle is that it could do with a 6th gear as it does rev high on the motorway.

Try and see if there is an after market overdrive for your jimnny not sure if there is one, just a thought.😁

It wont rev high if you dont drive at high speeds on the motorway. Adapt the way I do with five speed MT cars. I will happily do 60mph, whats the rush to do 70mph ? Makes no difference to journey times in the grand scheme of things yet will be far more relaxing driving slower. Sadly my daily eye witness of most other drivers who fail to have the discipline to even stick to speed limits in general is all too prevalent.

I once did 145 km/h with it and then it's like you're going to fly off the road at any moment :), but ok, that's not what the jimny is made for and you know that when you buy it.

What exactly do you mean that it "does not pass emissions"?. Of course it does, it has nothing to do with passing and everything to do with average emissions across the brand. You know nothing.

@@HIOP0 But it's the fact that emissions ratings are based on weight. Since the jimney is light it falls under tighter emissions laws. A heavy v8 suv doesn't have to meet such strict rules. Its a farce.

It would have been an even more useful load space if they'd have removed the windows. It's all well and good putting the cage in to protect you from things moving forward but what about side to side?

[@basstrammel1322]

I had a 1988 SJ410 High Roof as a daily 20 years ago, took away the cage parts, and had a good time. No trouble with the load carry, I hardly think anyone reeeeallly need too much more than 150 kg. Roof was just as flimsy in 1988, but it made it easy to knock it back up after working standing on the roof. Only thing seen of that happening was the foot prints. I believe their main use would be for those doing maintenance on train tracks, rural power lines, on bigger industrial plants, golf courses?, and maybe a supplement to a lorry carrying materlials to a building site. to have 2 extra men and some extra tools. Might be perfect for some companies?

I know someone who bought a commercial landrover and converted it to a passenger vehicle quite easily, the insurance company were fine with this as well.

I've got the 'Lite' version here in Australia, so the four seat passenger vehicle with this level of trim. It's brilliant, I love that there are no frills but all the modern conveniences. AC? Got it. Bluetooth? Yes. Electric windows? Got em. Trick all-grip braking in four wheel drive? Done. Traction control and emergency brake? Yup. You get the picture. Basically everything except sat nav and the gimmicky touchscreen that infects every modern vehicle. I'll use my phone if I want those, and as far as the basic AC goes 99% of the time you just want to turn it to 'hot' or 'cold' and leave it there anyway. Anything else is just another distraction. I love the simplicity of this trim level. It just works. It's what cars used to be, and still can be - simple and fun.

Tbf Jimny has always been a 2 seat vehicle. My rear seats are always down. This car is perfect if you live in the city or small town and love to go camping or off-road. I consider the steel cage a free extra that most Jimny owners end up buying 😃

Are the mounting points still there for the rear seats? so could you add the rear seats back in after you buy it.

The best driving I almost had was a Suzuki Samurai, the predecessor. These are some cool cars. A real carman's car.

I would love to see the Japanese version with the 660 engine in and the narrow wheels, they must be mad to drive

I’m not sure who this vehicle is for, farmers? I love the Jimny but this version seems like a master of none. The cage makes the driving position looks very uncomfortable.

[@matthewmcmullan9669]

The cage is just bolted in, a few minutes and it's out and the seat can sit just how you like

[@ikkeennietjij]

Just like most commercial vehicles, when you're a tall persons, it's somewhat hard to find a comfortable driving position. And some cars, like a VW up for example

[@martinoliver9017]

It's the only way Suzuki could carry on selling the Jimny in the U.K., by making it a commercial vehicle. Regardless of who it's for, it's completely sold out with dealers offering new ones at up to 50% over list price.

[@ErosMorelli]

It's such a cool little design! 👌

[@ShinzouWoSateSateSate]

@@Kwatshivo so you just hate the Jimny, huh. Just to stop you from calling it a copy cat, Jimny was made since 1970, and G Wagon was made since 1979.

[@yuricorrea2491]

Here in Brazil the commercial versions of normal cars were popular because they were registered with 2 seats, so you could mod it for racing pretty easily and had a lot less weight. I guess you could kit this out to be a hardcore offroader with a big camping drawer kit on the back and a tent on the roof. All this while still being registrable with only two seats.

[@Nart67]

this little car look so cool with out any upgrades

[@SC-kd5ln]

Suzuki engines are honestly weird, these engines are super smooth and refined when driving normally but when you accelerate hard they make a diesel like sound at first and then start sounding like a supercharging but with less whistling sound. This engine is great for tuning though.

[@buca9696]

I like a basic, honest, no bovine feces car, especially if it's a capable off roader.

[@timday6087]

The top part of the wire cage moves back (there are pre-drilled holes) to allow the seat to go back.

[@pjackowspa]

Tim is it not the short steel bulkhead below the wire cage that stops the seat going back?

[@timday6087]

@@pjackowspa you can either take the bottom part out and move the wire cage back as per previous post, or remove the locating tabs on the bottom section by drilling out the small welds, then the lower section moves back as well (it’s just not secured at the bottom; this doesn’t matter to me as I only have a dog in the back.

[@schmojo33]

The steel wheels are way better for the vehicle that it is and I love the cage. Only thing I would prefer is the LED headlights and sat-nav. I don't care about all that other unneeded stuff like heated seats, I've never longed for them when its -30F in winter and I don't turn the air conditioning on in my truck even when it's 100F+ degrees.

[@jorgerodrigogomezflores5711]

As a Jimny owner, I can say that they need to upgrade the engine and transmissions instead of 5MT or 4AT (mines an auto), make them both 6-speeds, and replace the 1.5L NA with the 1.3L turbo. That should make the Jimny faster, cleaner, more fuel efficient and more attractive for those that want to use it as a daily driver with off-road capability. I’ve heard that the upcoming 5-door jimny will come with the 1.3 turbo, hopefully the 3-door will get it too.

[@martinoliver9017]

Five door Jimny? That would be great, but thought it was only an urban myth, it's been going round the internet since 2018
