The Suzuki Jimny has made its launch debut in Singapore during the 2019 The Cars at Expo event, with the pint-sized off-roader being priced by Champion Motors at SGD114,100 (RM346,328) with COE. In Thailand, the Jimny starts from 1.55 million baht (RM200,762).
There’s only one variant here, which uses a K15B 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine that provides 100 hp at 6,000 rpm and 130 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The mill is linked to a four-speed automatic with Suzuki’s AllGrip Pro four-wheel drive system featuring selectable high and low range.
Built on a ladder frame with additional cross members, the Jimny uses a three-link rigid axle with coil springs at the front and rear for better performance off-road, as well as improved ride comfort. A 210 mm ride height, 4.9 metre turning radius, along with 37-degree approach, 28-degree ramp breakover and 49-degree departure angles contribute to off-road performance.
For the money, the Singapore-spec Jimny is rather well equipped, with automatic LED projector headlamps, LED taillights, 15-inch alloy wheels (195/80 profile tyres), automatic air-conditioning and a multi-function steering wheel.
The list of safety and driver assist systems is also rather impressive, with six airbags, Vehicle Sway Warning, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist, Hill Hold Control, Hill Descent Control, ESP, ABS and Dual Sensor Brake Support (DSBS), with the last item being a form of autonomous emergency braking. Eight colour options are available, but it’ll cost an additional SGD1,000 for a contrasting roof.

Toyota CHR with COE included only SGD100k. I think people rather go for the Toyota CHR. Car prices are quite cheap in Singapore considering their GDP Per Capita is 5X more than Malaysians
Fresh graduate in Singapore earn SGD4600 per month in 2019. CHR is SGD100k
Fresh graduate in Malaysia earns RM1833 per month in 2019 (according to BNM figures). CHR is RM170k
So car prices are affordable one a one to one comparison basis
When will it come to here? If it comes here I am sure the sales will be game changing because of it’s awesome design. But If this SUV comes here it means that the rebadged car that cost 123RM will be game over as there is thousands of people waiting for this SUV.
Suzuki Jimny in Malaysia, RM87k-92k only.

Fresh grads dont earn $4.6k in singapore. Talkin thru ur a××

My mistake. Thanks for the spot.
Planning to get one. But is it SGD141,100 or SGD114,100 ? Thanks
RM 400k+ for a 1.5L 100ps SUV is really ridiculous
342K? No thanks.
RM342K if u convert to RM.. camry in Singapore convert to RM same price in Malaysia meyh?
can’t brain if there are really potential buyers / consumer for this Jimny in Singapore
At least they get to buy a jimny. Jimny’s are not sold in our market.
You still can’t afford it either way
TQ Proton + DRB Hicom!
