5 Door Suzuki Jimny launched in Malaysia - 5 Colour variants and a price starting from RM199,950!!! Also Naza Eastern have expanded the Suzuki dealer network in Malaysia

Earlier today, Naza Eastern Motors Sdn Bhd, the official distributor of Suzuki cars in Malaysia has launched the 5-door variant of the very popular Suzuki Jimny compact 4x4. It will be priced from RM199,950.00 onwards (before insurance or optional gear). 

First launched by Suzuki globally in early 2023, the 5 door variant marks a step forward in the Jimny model as this is the first ever 5 door Jimny to be produced. It has always been a 2/3 door compact SUV/4x4 and now, in its 4th generation gets 2 more doors so that one can easily get in and out of the rear seats with its new rear doors. Oh, it is also longer in wheelbase making it actually suitable for carrying people over longer distances too. But more of that later.

 

Sunday Lite: I Miss Suzuki Cars - Someone Should Start Bringing Them In Again.

I miss Suzuki cars. Sometime in 2016 Suzuki decided to pull out of Malaysia after deciding to enter into some sort of joint venture arrangement with Proton. They were to pull out of the Malaysian market and let Proton rebadge their vehicles starting with the Suzuki Ertiga. Of course, by some horrific twist of fate, they got snookered as Proton was forced by some unseen hand to quickly find a foreign partner which they did in the form of Geely.

2013 Suzuki Jimny - This Cute LIl' 4WD could be launched here soon

.

It seems that Suzuki Malaysia will launch the newly facelifted for 2013 Suzuki Jimny here in Malaysia. The car seen here at the recent 2013 NST Motorshow is powered by a 84hp 1.3liter petrol engine. From what I gathered from the staff on duty at the motorshow the Jimny has been through JPJ type approval so it should be launched soon and may have a price tag of between RM85,000-90,000.
