Jimny Nomad: A new adventurer that inherits the Jimny tradition

Suzuki’s new Jimny Nomad (5-door) offers improved practicality and consistent off-road performance
The five-door design has improved rear passenger comfort by moving the seating position of rear seat passengers 50mm further back, increasing knee space, and widening the distance between rear seat passengers by 90mm. Furthermore, the rear seat hip point has been raised by 20mm, and the seat cushions have been made thicker, resulting in a more comfortable ride. Rear seat comfort and luggage capacity have been significantly improved, making this an even more attractive option for families and outdoor enthusiasts. The luggage space is 207L in its normal state, and a massive 331L appears when the rear seats are folded down.
Of course, the Jimny’s signature off-road capability is still intact. It inherits the Jimny Nomad’s robust body structure with its exclusive ladder frame and rigid axles, its FR layout, part-time 4WD with sub-transmission, and 3-link rigid axle suspension, and is fully equipped to traverse any terrain, including a 36-degree approach angle, 24-degree ramp breakover angle, 50-degree departure angle, and 210mm ground clearance. Electronically controlled brake LSD traction control is also standard, ensuring even more stable driving.

The engine is the same as the Jimny Sierra’s, a 1.5L inline 4-cylinder DOHC VVT Dual Jet engine (K158 type), with a maximum output of 75kW (102ps) at 6,000rpm and a maximum torque of 130Nm (13.3kgm) at 4,000rpm. It delivers powerful torque even at low speeds, making it stress-free to drive around town as well as off-road. The transmission is available in a choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic.

Jimny Nomad (5-door) adopts newly developed ladder frame
Jimny Nomad ladder frame
A ladder frame structure has been adopted to symbolize a genuine 4WD . The newly developed ladder frame employs X-members and is equipped with cross members at the front and rear, resulting in a newly designed ladder frame for the Jimny Nomad, improving torsional rigidity by approximately 1.5 times. In addition, the body mount rubber has been enlarged to reduce vibration transmitted from the frame to the vehicle body. Electronically controlled brakes, limited slip differential (LSD) traction control, are standard on all vehicles, and a 3-link reject axle suspension is used .
Jimny Nomad (5-door) with part-time 4WD
Part-time 4WD with a sub-transmission (low range) has been used from the first generation to the new model, allowing you to freely switch between 2WD and 4WD depending on the road conditions.
Jimny Nomad (5-door) uses a 3-link reject axle suspension
The “3-link rigid axle suspension” that directly connects the left and right wheels provides excellent maneuverability and large ground clearance even on uneven roads. The minimum ground clearance of 210 mm makes it less likely for the bumper or underbody to come into contact with obstacles at the “approach angle,” “ramp breakover angle,” and “departure angle.” The JC model is also equipped with door mirrors with side under mirrors, heated door mirrors, and headlamp washers.
Safety features of the Jimny Nomad (5-door)
Equipped with Dual Sensor Brake Support, it utilizes the strengths of a monocular camera and laser radar to avoid danger with a variety of functions, including an automatic braking function. The body is equipped with a lightweight impact-absorbing TECT body. It also features a pretensioner mechanism, a force limiter mechanism (seatbelts), SRS airbags, a 4-wheel ABS (anti-lock brake system), and a latch start system (MT vehicles only).
Dual sensor brake support
Taking advantage of the strengths of the monocular camera and laser radar adopted in the new Swift and new Wagon R , it not only detects pedestrians but also uses automatic braking to avoid and mitigate collisions. The car is classified as a “Support Car S Wide” vehicle, which is being promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and is also a “Pedal Misapplication Prevention Device (PMPD) Certified Vehicle” by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
1. Forward Collision Warning Function: When driving at speeds between approximately 5km/h and 100km/h, the stereo camera detects vehicles and pedestrians ahead. If it determines there is a possibility of a collision, it will sound an alarm and display a warning message in the meter.
2. Forward Collision Warning and Brake Function When the possibility of a collision increases, this function not only issues a warning but also automatically applies light brakes to encourage the driver to avoid the collision.
3. Forward Collision Damage Mitigation Brake Assist Function If the driver applies the brakes hard after determining that there is a high possibility of a collision, the brake assist function will be activated to increase braking force.
4. Automatic braking function If it is determined that a collision is unavoidable, the automatic braking function will apply strong brakes to avoid the collision or reduce the damage caused by the collision.
False Start Prevention Function: Helps avoid collisions caused by pedal or shift operation errors. The stereo camera detects obstacles within approximately 4m ahead. If the driver steps on the accelerator pedal heavily despite the presence of an obstacle while stopped or traveling slowly at approximately 10km/h or less, the function automatically reduces engine output to prevent sudden starts and sudden acceleration.
Lane Departure Warning Function: If the vehicle is about to deviate from its lane, a buzzer sounds and an indicator light in the meter warns
the driver. When driving at speeds between approximately 60km/h and 100km/h, the stereo camera recognizes the lane markings on both sides. If it determines that the vehicle is about to depart from its lane, a buzzer sounds and an indicator light in the meter alerts the driver.
Sway warning function: If the vehicle sway, a buzzer sounds and an indicator light in the meter will sound to warn the driver. If the stereo camera determines that the vehicle is swaying based on the swaying pattern within the lane while driving at speeds between approximately 60km/h and 100km/h, a buzzer will sound and an indicator light in the meter will light up to alert the driver.
Leading vehicle departure notification function: Notifies the driver when the leading vehicle starts moving with a buzzer sound and a display in the meter
. When the vehicle is stopped, if the leading vehicle starts moving and moves away from the vehicle more than 4m away, but the vehicle remains stopped, a buzzer sound will sound and a display in the meter will notify the driver that the leading vehicle has started moving.
Reverse Brake Support: First used in a light vehicle. Four ultrasonic sensors built into the rear bumper activate the automatic brakes when they detect an obstacle behind the vehicle.
Omnidirectional Monitor Camera Package (manufacturer option for vehicles equipped with the Safety Package and Omnidirectional Monitor Camera Package) Cameras are installed in four locations on the front, rear, left and right of the vehicle. When a compatible navigation system (dealer-installed accessory) is installed, it becomes an “Omnidirectional Monitor” that displays bird’s-eye views of the vehicle on the monitor, as if seen from directly above. Areas that are difficult to see from the driver’s seat can be checked on the screen, which is useful for parking in tight spaces.

No discounts or discounts on the Jimny Nomad (5-door)!
When I actually checked with the dealer, I was told that due to the popularity of the Jimny, a similar trend was expected for the Jimny Nomad, and since it was a new model that had not yet been released, I was hoping for a discount or reduction in price, but this time there would be no discount whatsoever.
Jimny Nomad (5-door) delivery time
When I actually checked the delivery time at the dealer, I was told that since the car hasn’t been released yet, there is no information available about the delivery time, but it seems that the delivery time for the Jimny minicar and the Jimny Sierra compact car is still around one to two years, so it seems that the same situation is expected.
