Prices range from 1,365,100 yen to 1,746,800 yen, and this marks the first full model change in about five years since the previous model.

This new Hustler was developed with the concept of “More fun! More exciting! A more active mini crossover.” It also uses the new platform “HEARTECT,” which is also used in the new Wagon R.

- The concept is kept from the previous model. The headlights are round, just like the previous model.
- Inspired by outdoor items, it combines toughness and strength with functionality.
- Compared to the previous model, the wheelbase has been extended by 35 mm to provide more legroom for rear seat passengers, and the distance between the left and right passengers in the front seats has been increased by 30 mm to create a comfortable and spacious interior.

This gives it a unique personality that makes it instantly recognizable as a Hustler. It also incorporates ideas from outdoor items, emphasizing functionality while pursuing toughness and strength. The height of the bonnet has been raised by 20mm, giving it a rounded yet thick, slightly angular image, resulting in a design closer to the new Jimny.

The all-round monitor features a 3D view, allowing for a 360-degree view of the surroundings (manufacturer option).
