2025 Suzuki Jimny Pickup: The True Compact Truck America Needs? Best Pickup Truck, New Suzuki Jimny
In the American market, compact pickup trucks are few and far between. Currently, the Hyundai Santa Cruz and the Ford Maverick dominate the segment, filling a gap that had long been left empty. The Santa Cruz, built on the Tucson SUV’s platform with a unibody chassis, was a bold move by Hyundai. Manufactured in Alabama, it brought new energy to the compact truck world. Resembling a crossover SUV with a cargo bed, it stretches 4,970 mm (195.7 in) in length, blurring the line between SUV and pickup.
Ford followed up with the Maverick, aiming to disrupt the market further. Built in Mexico, the Maverick quickly gained popularity due to its affordability and rugged design, drawing from Ford’s famed F-150 and Ranger lines. At 5,072 mm (199.7 in), though, it too is much larger than what many might expect of a “compact” truck.
This leaves the question: What truly defines a compact pickup? In comes the Suzuki Jimny, reimagined by the digital artist Theottle. Known for his skillful renderings, Theottle transformed the Jimny SUV into a compact pickup through CGI, giving it a Jeep Gladiator-inspired makeover. The Jimny’s boxy, rugged shape and longer wheelbase make it an ideal candidate for such a conversion.
With Suzuki potentially eyeing a return to the U.S. market, a Jimny pickup could provide a unique alternative to the larger Ford Ranger or Chevrolet Montana. It would cater to a different crowd—those seeking a truly compact, nimble, and off-road capable truck that’s equally at home in urban environments.
If Suzuki were to introduce this pickup globally, it could attract a niche audience. Its small size, rugged build, and proven off-road capabilities could appeal to adventurers and practical drivers alike, offering something distinct in a market increasingly filled with bigger and more expensive options. The Jimny pickup would likely find success among consumers seeking an affordable, versatile, and capable vehicle—a true compact truck that stands apart from the current offerings.
This could be Suzuki’s chance to revolutionize the pickup world once again.
