New Suzuki Jimny XL Review: On-road & off-road test in 2024 Jimny 5 Door (Australia)

Suzuki just upsized the fun factor with the Jimny XL!!

The new Jimny 5 Door model is now on sale in Australia, with heaps more practicality and family-friendliness, but also a higher price tag than ever before.

With five doors and a larger boot capacity, plus a new larger media screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the new Jimny XL is a far more practical choice than the standard three-door.

But the 5 Door still runs the same 1.5L petrol engine with the same choice of five-speed manual or four-speed auto – and in this review, I tested both of them!

Plus there’s off-road testing with the important off-road angles you want to know (including 4×4 low-range, moguls, dirt, mud and heaps of fun!).

Rivals to the Jimny XL include:
