Engine performance and specifications
Jimny (660cc)
- Engine : Inline 3-cylinder 660cc turbo “R06A type”
- Maximum output : 64ps/6000rpm
- Maximum torque : 9.8kgm/3500rpm

- Engine : Inline 4-cylinder 1.5L naturally aspirated “K15B type”
- Maximum output : 102ps/6000rpm
- Maximum torque : 13.3 kgm/4000 rpm
Both engines have strong torque characteristics at low rpm that are suitable for off-road driving, improving their performance on rough terrain.
Functional interior
The interior of the new Jimny has been designed with operability during off-road driving as the top priority, and features a highly practical and functional layout.
Main interior features
- The return of the 4WD selector lever (changed from the conventional switch type)
- Stain-resistant luggage floor makes it resistant to dirt
- Large-capacity space with a cargo area opening width of over 1m
- Detachable seat belts improve luggage carrying capacity
The 5-door model “Jimny Nomad” is also available.
The long-awaited five-door model, the Jimny Nomad, will be released in April 2025, expanding the options available to families.
Features of the Jimny Nomad
- Overall length : 3990mm (340mm longer than previous model)
- Wheelbase : 2590mm (+340mm compared to previous model)

- Luggage capacity : Maximum 331L (85L more than the 3-door)
The Jimny’s soul is its off-road capability. While the basic performance has been maintained, the wheelbase has been extended by 340mm, which has had some impact.
- Ramp breakover angle : The ramp breakover angle, which is an indicator of how unlikely it is to scrape the underside of the belly, has worsened by 3 degrees from 28 degrees for the Sierra to 25 degrees.
Of course, these figures are far higher than those of ordinary passenger cars, but for users seeking extreme off-road performance, this may be an important point that cannot be ignored.
