newly-released five-door model builds on this legacy by adding extra practicality, courtesy of a more spacious cabin, while also delivering an impressive range of features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul

drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combined with the fact the starting price for the 4&#215;4 is R429,900, we were incredibly impressed by how much value and performance Suzuki has packed into this iconic vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multi-talented<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Suzuki Jimny 5-door offers the best of both worlds with outstanding off-road capability and easy maneuverability for city driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of the Suzuki Jimny 5-door\u2019s off-roading capabilities is its ALLGRIP PRO 4WD system, which offers two modes &#8211; 4WD and 2WD &#8211; for handling all kinds of terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 4WD, the Jimny offers you a choice of high-range and low-range transfer gears for your off-road adventures: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High-range 4WD<\/strong> offers better traction for driving on dirt or gravel trails and snowy roads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low-range 4WD<\/strong> delivers the best traction and torque, allowing you to navigate soft sand, mud, and steep, rocky terrain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Suzuki Jimny 5-door&#8217;s off-roading capabilities are further enhanced by many additional features \u2013 including a powerful 1.5-litre engine, 210mm ground clearance, and a narrower profile that makes it easier to find different ways to navigate obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\" href=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-69.png\"><img
