The Suzuki Jimny, whether it’s in 5-Door or 3-Door format is a hot commodity in the automotive market right now. It’s true in the Philippines and almost everywhere else in the world where the Jimny is sold like India and Australia.

Despite the current generation of the Jimny being around for quite some time, enthusiasm for the compact off-roader has surged with the introduction of the 5-Door version earlier this year. Though it still seats four, the Jimny 5-Door boasts a longer wheelbase, more cabin space, and extra cargo room in the rear. In addition, as well as the most obvious perk of two more doors, accessing the back seats is more convenient than before.

Over in Australia, the Jimny 5-Door has been given a splash of color and some retro-inspired design with the Jimny XL Heritage Edition. Limited to just 500 units, this special 4x4 is based on the Jimny 5-Door and stands out with its unique decals. The limited edition Jimny features distinctive red and orange decals that harken back to the classic stripes of past Jimnys.

Other exclusive "upgrades" include red mudflaps and a "heritage cargo tray." All units feature modern tech amenities such as a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, along with advanced safety systems.

The Jimny's drivetrain remains the same for this version, featuring a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter gasoline engine paired with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic and low-range four-wheel drive. This powertrain develops 101 hp with 130 Nm of torque and comes with Suzuki’s AllGrip Pro 4WD system as standard.

As we mentioned earlier, this special edition Jimny is exclusive only to Australia so a Heritage edition Jimny 5-Door is not yet in the cards for the Philippines.
