Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Suzuki Jimny 5-Door is the longer, more practical JB74W Jimny, adding two rear doors and twice the boot space while keeping the familiar 1.5-litre petrol and automatic gearbox. It suits buyers who want the Jimny shape with easier rear access, not a cut-price B-segment SUV. In Malaysia, it costs from RM199,950.

Jimny 5-Door in 2026 — what's new

There are no 2026-specific updates in the recent model news, so the Jimny 5-Door carries on into 2026 unchanged from its 2024 Malaysian launch specification. The current range is simple: one 1.5 variant, petrol power, conventional automatic transmission and four seats. Its defining changes over the three-door Jimny remain the extra pair of doors and the doubled boot space.

Verdict

The Jimny 5-Door is easier to live with than the three-door because it adds rear doors and boot space, but it is still a niche buy. At RM199,950, it costs far more than the Perodua Ativa, Aruz and Traz, and even more than the Suzuki eVitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser. Buy it for the Jimny character and packaging, not because it beats mainstream B-SUVs on price.
