Description
For Sale: Suzuki Jimny Sierra 1.5
There are very few modern cars that have quite the character of a Jimny. Instantly recognisable, brilliantly simple and built around a proper four-wheel-drive system, the Suzuki Jimny Sierra has become something of an icon in its own right.
This is a JB74W Jimny Sierra, the wider-bodied version of the fourth-generation Jimny, powered by Suzuki's 1.5-litre K15B four-cylinder petrol engine producing approximately 102hp. Unlike many modern SUVs, the Jimny retains a genuine off-road drivetrain, with part-time AllGrip Pro 4WD and a low-range transfer case.
Compact dimensions, a lightweight construction and excellent ground clearance give the Jimny a character that is increasingly difficult to find. It is small enough to be easy around town, yet engineered with genuine off-road ability rather than simply styled to look adventurous.

The appeal of the Jimny is that it hasn't tried to become something it isn't.
While many modern SUVs are primarily road cars with rugged styling, the Jimny retains the fundamentals of a genuine off-roader. Its ladder-frame construction, three-link rigid axle suspension and selectable four-wheel drive give it impressive ability when the road disappears. Suzuki quotes around 210mm of ground clearance, along with strong approach and departure angles.
But its charm isn't limited to going off-road.
The Jimny's compact footprint, upright driving position and distinctive styling make it an exceptionally characterful everyday vehicle. The 1.5-litre engine is naturally aspirated, delivering its power in a straightforward and predictable way, while the lightweight body keeps the whole experience feeling refreshingly uncomplicated
