Suzuki Jimny Sierra JC (JB74W) 3-door compact 4x4 August 2024 40 miles Automatic 1,500 cc Apple car play, Android Auto head unit Reverse camera Roof rack Hop up Grill Genuine 4x Suzuki Jimny floor mats Auction Grade: Exterior S, Interior A (essentially as-new) The Jimny Sierra is proof that not every small SUV has to be a soft, front wheel drive apology. Suzuki looked at the modern world of crossovers and said, "No thanks - we'll keep the ladder frame, live axles and transfer case, if you don't mind." Underneath the chunky, almost toy-like bodywork is a layout that wouldn't look out of place under an old-school Land Rover: separate chassis, proper low-range 4WD, rigid axles front and rear and a steering box that's more interested in surviving a rock crawl than setting a Nrburgring lap time. The 1.5-litre four-cylinder isn't about fireworks, but in something this small and light it's enough to keep things moving briskly, and on a narrow trail the Jimny's party trick isn't speed anyway - it's the way it picks its way through ruts and over obstacles that would make big, expensive SUVs break out in a cold sweat. This particular car is the JC grade - the nicely equipped version - and effectively delivery mileage, grade S/A. Finished in a suitably rugged green with black interior, it's basically a brand-new Jimny Sierra that's skipped the dealer forecourt and gone straight to the enthusiast lane. If you've ever wanted a tiny G-Wagen you can actually thread through Japanese backroads or British lanes, this is it. Smart key / keyless entry LED headlamps Leather-wrapped steering wheel Cruise control (As a JC, it will also have the usual modern safety kit and air-conditioning, but only items clearly noted or inherent to the model code are listed here.) Exterior grade S - as-new. Interior grade A - as-new. As an enthusiast buy, this sits in a sweet spot. You're getting the full, modern JB74 Jimny Sierra experience - proper ladder frame, low range and retro-boxy looks - without having to worry about previous owners, trail rash or clumsy modifications. The to-do list is almost entirely up to you: Decide how serious you want to get off-road: all-terrain tyres, skid plates, maybe a modest lift. Underneath it all, you've got a virtually new Jimny Sierra JC - a tiny, honest, go-anywhere 4x4 that'll probably still be climbing muddy tracks long after most crossovers have been recycled into fridge doors.
