Suzuki Australia has continued to significantly increase the pricing of the in-demand fourth-generation Jimny light SUV.

The entry-level manual GLX variant is now $2500 dearer, at $28,490 plus on-road costs, while its flagship automatic counterpart has become $2000 more expensive, at $29,990.

This latest round of price rises follows the two $1000 jumps that occurred after the Jimny’s launch in January 2019.

As such, the light SUV’s cost of entry has increased by $4500 since its release, while its maximum price has risen by $4000.

It’s worth noting since the off-roader’s inception, it’s not only added a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty (October 2019) and power-folding side mirrors (February 2020), but also become available with a capped-price servicing plan (October 2019).

For reference, the tiny Jeep Wrangler, Land Rover Defender and Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen rival is motivated by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 75kW of power at 6000rpm and 130Nm of torque at 4000rpm.

The Jimny has two transmission options: a five-speed manual or a four-speed torque-converter automatic. Either way, a four-wheel-drive system is on hand for the light SUV.

As reported, the off-roader has a very long waiting list, with local buyers having had to wait up to 12 months for delivery from the get-go.

Head of Editorial
Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
