Suzuki Philippines unveils new Jimny 5-door, paves way for a new era of Filipino adventure

MANILA, Philippines — Everyone has been eagerly anticipating the launch of the new Jimny 5-door ever since reports of its sightings were published late last year. Fortunately, the long wait is over as Suzuki Philippines, the country’s pioneer compact car distributor, officially unveiled the New Jimny 5-door on January 25 at The Cove, Okada Manila. 

Suzuki Philippines President Koichiro Hirao, in his opening remarks, expressed excitement in the new evolution of a beloved icon and added that the Jimny has become a symbol of adventure and innovation for Filipinos. 

“The Jimny, deeply rooted in a rich heritage, stands as a testament to Suzuki's commitment to excellence. Its popularity is not just a testament to its past glory but a promise of exciting journeys ahead,” he said.

Meanwhile, Norihide Takei, director and general manager for Automobile Division of Suzuki Philippines, emphasized that Jimny stands as a lightweight, compact, authentic off-road vehicle capable of conquering diverse terrains.

“Get ready for an incredible journey and experience the beauty of places yet undiscovered that Nobody But Jimny can bring you,” Takei said.

The New Jimny 5-door seamlessly incorporates all the practical and functional design elements of the Jimny. Its sturdy square body not only conveys off-road capability and durability but also contributes to the driver's situational awareness.

The upright A-pillars and flat clamshell bonnet improve visibility through the front windshield, while the dipped lines of the driver and passenger windows extend visibility from the side.

The 5-door model boasts chrome accents on the front grille, a distinctive feature that accentuates the grille's unique 5-slot design. Additionally, features such as the signature round headlamps and 15-inch dark-metallic alloy wheels further enhance the overall robust exterior styling.

The theme of practicality and functionality extends seamlessly to the interior.

Meticulously designed to balance aesthetics and functionality, the sleek black interior avoids unnecessary colors or decorations to minimize distractions, allowing the driver to focus on navigating the vehicle.
