2023 Suzuki Jimny price and specs

Prices of the popular Suzuki Jimny four-wheel-drive have risen by up to $7000 in four years – but unprecedented demand has seen orders close for the most popular three-door automatic model.

  • 2023 Suzuki Jimny pricing and specifications
  • Three-door automatic orders paused
  • Lite and GLX manuals still available; two-tone colours face long waits
  • Priced from $30,490 plus on-road costs

Orders for the top-selling version of the 2023 Suzuki Jimny four-wheel-drive have been paused due to unprecedented demand – and prices up to $7000 higher than they were four years ago.

As reported first by Drive, Suzuki Australia stopped taking new orders for the top-selling three-door automatic ‘GLX’ version of the Jimny on 19 January 2023, until production can catch up with record demand.

Drive understands Suzuki Australia is currently holding 3500 orders for the Jimny three-door automatic – which, at current production forecasts, could equate to a wait time of 18 months.

Three-door manual Suzuki Jimny models remain on sale, as demand for these models – the standard ‘GLX’ model and basic Lite – is not as high.

Two-tone paint schemes – with black contrast roof panels – face longer wait times than single-tone colours.

Customers waiting for a new Suzuki Jimny three-door auto will have the choice of retaining their spot on the queue, or opting to move near the top of the wait list for a five-door automatic Jimny, which is due in Australian showrooms in late 2023.

Revealed in January, the five-door Suzuki Jimny adds 340mm to the length and wheelbase of the three-door – and will be built in India, rather than the Japanese factory that produces Australia’s three-door Jimny 4WDs.

The unprecedented demand is despite multiple price rises for the Suzuki Jimny since it arrived in Australian showrooms in January 2019, which have pushed the standard automatic model up $8000 – or 33 per cent – from $23,990 to $31,990 plus on-road costs.

The price of the three-door automatic Jimny has risen from $25,990 to $33,490 plus on-road costs – and the base-model Jimny Lite has risen in price by $3500, from $26,990 to $30,490 plus on-road costs.

Standard features have remained largely unchanged since launch. The standard Jimny model has returned to a 7.0-inch touchscreen fitted at the factory in Japan, rather than a 9.0-inch unit offered for 12 months from late 2021, which was designed and fitted in Australia to side-step semiconductor shortages.

Power-folding mirrors have also been added over the standard model’s life – as well as a five-year warranty across the Suzuki range, introduced in 2019.

All models continue to be powered by a 1.5-litre non-turbo four-cylinder petrol engine, developing 75kW (at 6000rpm) and 130Nm (at 4000rpm) – sent to a part-time four-wheel-drive system with low-range.

A five-speed manual transmission is standard across the range, with a four-speed automatic available as a $2000 option on the better-equipped standard (or ‘GLX’) version.

Suzuki Australia claims fuel consumption in mixed driving of 6.4 litres per 100km for the manual, or 6.9L/100km for the automatic. The fuel tank can hold 40 litres. More specifications are at the bottom of this story.

Manual versions of the 2023 Suzuki Jimny remain available to order.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

Gambar
A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

2023 LDV T60 Max price and specs: Prices up by more than $4000

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals. LDV Australia has announced the T60 Max 4×4 ute has undergone a handful of tweaks for 2023 after its major facelift (and $5000 price hike) last year – resulting in a price increase of $4000 across the range for buyers with an ABN. But Australia’s ninth best-selling ute continues to forgo advanced safety tech such as forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking – making the T60 the the only du...
