2023 Suzuki Jimny Heritage limited edition variant joins range

The 2023 Suzuki Jimny Heritage has launched in Australia to celebrate the model’s “vibrant 4×4 history.”

It is priced from $33,490 before on-road costs, with 300 units available to order.

Available exclusively in five-speed manual form, the Jimny Heritage Edition is $1500 dearer than the GLX variant it is based upon, with added equipment including:

“Strictly 300 units in total of this retro legend will be available. These vehicles will sell out quickly. With swift delivery to follow, I encourage all serious buyers to jump in fast,” said Suzuki Australia general manager, Michael Pachota.

Suzuki Australia said deliveries would “be based on the current queue process” – in line with the standard Jimny – with the first vehicles due next month.

Once a colour – jungle green, bluish black, medium grey and white – has sold out, the brand said announcements would be made to its social media channels and dealer network.

While the three-door manual Jimny remains available to order, Suzuki Australia has paused orders for the more-popular four-speed automatic variant.

The indefinite pause – in effect since mid-January – follows unprecedented demand for the off-road-capable light SUV in Australia, with 5697 units shifted in 2022 for a 10.8 per cent market share.

For those wanting an automatic Jimny, another option is to get in early for a five-door – the long-wheelbase model was revealed in January and is expected to arrive in Australia later this year.

While the three-door Jimny is produced in Japan, the five-door model will be manufactured by Maruti Suzuki in India.

All variants use a 75kW/130Nm 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine with selectable four-wheel-drive and a low-range transfer case.
