Verdict
The RM41,050 jump from RM158,900 to RM199,950 buys the Jimny 5-Door 505 mm more length, five doors and a 211-litre boot instead of 85 litres. That matters far more for carrying four people and their bags. It does not buy extra performance: both use a 100 hp, 130 Nm 1.462-litre petrol engine, four-speed automatic and part-time four-wheel drive with low range. The three-door is the sharper value call, with adaptive cruise control, collision warning, steering correction and a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty; the 5-Door counters with six airbags, parking sensors and a reverse camera.
Pick the Suzuki Jimny if RM41,050 saved, a shorter 3,480 mm body and adaptive cruise control matter more than rear-door access and luggage room.
Pick the Suzuki Jimny 5-Door if you need five doors, a 211-litre boot and six airbags for regularly carrying passengers.
