2024 Suzuki Jimny 5-Door Review | More Doors = More Fun?

The Suzuki Jimny has long been a 3 door, or rather, a bit of a practical compromise. When the 5 Door version was announced, people who were on the fence about buying a Jimny now had more incentive to take the leap, but is it worth the price? The possibility of bringing more people along for the fun—comfortably—is quite a big deal for many Philippine buyers, and apparently, the rest of the world. So does the Jimny still retain its fun character, and is it worth the price of a 4x2 SUV? Let's get that answer somewhere in the mountains, the same place we got lost when we reviewed the 3-door. Find out if the Jimny is worth its 1,708,000 Philippine Peso price tag on this episode of Behind the Wheel.

It will go 500, 000 km and if you want it will last for ever. Its not a throw away vehicle like every thing else. The price is high and resale price remains high. Its a win win. As for the engine supercharging is easy and it makes a massive difference. Its instant power. A must

This car has a community around it, it is not for everyone, more for enthusiasts who do offroad and camping and of course have a lot of cash to burn, no one is forcing anyone to buy it, funny so many are complaining 😅

Driven 4500 km in 15 days.. Ready for 1st service..
Stg 1 upgraded.
Pros : only 1...its boy toy.. Mods and decorations enjoyable to add.. Super customizable.. Sourcing it online and waiting for it to deliver and DIYs is fun..

Cos:
Slow.
Not for long drives.
Wind drafts shakes car bad.. Risky
Noisy cabin.
Steering play is horrible.

Getting a turbo and Stg 2/3 upgrades.. If u into such Hobbies.. Go get 1

This 5 door is for someone who fell in love with their 3 doors and would love to try bringing their friends a long the ride - do 4x4 over the weekends or holidays. This isn't for someone who can't appreciate its style and doesn't have extra cash. Yes, it's overpriced but heck, if you can't buy it why say "I prefer this than that". As if you can afford it right?

There is a mistake on some of the published specs. The length is in fact 340mm greater, making the length without the spare wheel 3820mm.

I always wanted a Jimny when I was living in the US. Unfortunately, couldn’t get one brand new in the US auto market.

Moved to the Phils 5 yrs ago and been on the fence of getting a 3 door.

When the 5 door got released in the Phils, I pulled the trigger. I’m glad I waited.

I absolutely LOVE my 5 door AT Artic White Pearl Jimny.

As always… Great review.

I was waiting for this review... Thank you for the review. Always a delight to hear it from Autodeal first, especially with Caco - the best reviewer, so to speak. My eyes are fixed on this one, the Jimny 5-door. Hoping Suzuki would release a "Little D" version too.

[johnfrancisvillamor]

Niche vehicle. Not for everybody. But, I bought one.

[nojl]

It's alright, but the 3 door is where the character of the Jimny at.

[mikovelasquez]

Great job, Sir Gaco. Always waiting for your uploads. God bless! ❤

[jonnosjimny]

Thanks for the video. Really helpful. I’ll miss our 3 door but the 5 door is perfect for our family.

340mm longer. I think the 3 door also has the Center cup/bottle holders

[ednarasay]

If given a chance to own one i still would go for the 3 door ❤

[ronramos]

Was this trip last Friday morning?! We were in a Patrol Super Safari and I think we passed this red Jimny while the driver was peeing on the side of the rough road in Daraitan. 😊

[artofzee]

Dream car... any news on Mitsubishi Delica release here in PH..?

[dune]

The 5 door loses a little in ramp over angle but gains stability on corrugated roads owing to its longer wheel base. Can't begin to tell you how skittish the 3 door is on corrugated dirt roads at speed.

[regiasama]

Too expensive and underpowered for its added weight and size. The only advantage this has over the original is a smoother ride due to longer wheelbase.

[denzjumba]

Wow that carlos sainz sr. Joke was a deep cut. I love it

[GearUpind]

It’s better to put in this way except Suzuki every car maker like Mitsubishi Motero / pajero 3 door, Toyota lc 3 door kei 4x4 Killed this segment the fact only Jimny is making to this day is great i wish more companies start making mini 4x4 and good thing is toyota is also planning mini Fj cruiser at similar dimensions of 5 door Jimny which will bring back the segment

[hmmmm]

Caco, do you or your team feel, this XL properly priced ? compared to equipment it offers ?

[santiagocher]

Di tlga ako nanonood ng ibang car review, thanks man
