Pros and cons
What’s good
- Unstoppable off-road capability: Ladder frame, rigid axles, 210 mm ground clearance, and 37-degree approach angle.
- Sub-1,500 cc tax advantage: 1.46L K15B engine qualifies for lower KRA duty rate.
- Exceptional resale value retention: High local demand makes the Jimny an asset-like purchase.
What’s not so good
- Compact 3-door rear seating: Rear seats best used folded for cargo capacity.
- Highway wind noise at 110+ km/h: Boxy aerodynamic profile requires steady cruising speeds.
