The 2019 Suzuki Jimny has a new “heritage” body, a new ladder frame and platform, and serious offroad ability with a 4WD system and low range gearing.
In Europe the new Jimny has a 1.5L 4-cylinder gas engine with 75kW (101hp) at 6,000rpm, and 130Nm (96 lb-ft) at 4,000rpm. A 5-speed manual is standard, a 4-speed auto is optional. The old model had a 1.3L engine.
