Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Suzuki Jimny is a compact B-segment SUV aimed at buyers who want a small, four-seat petrol SUV with a conventional automatic. This JB74 generation, launched in 2021, uses a 1.5-litre, 100 hp petrol engine. It suits owners prepared to accept a four-seat cabin. Malaysian pricing starts from RM158,900.

Jimny in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, Malaysia gets the Jimny 1.5 Allgrip Plus and 1.5 Rhino Plus. The latest confirmed changes bring ADAS and front and rear parking sensors, while both models receive a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty. Both retain the 1.5-litre 100 hp petrol engine, conventional automatic transmission and four-seat layout. A further special edition has been teased, but no confirmed specification is available.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should take the RM158,900 1.5 Allgrip Plus. Its listed 1.5-litre 100 hp petrol engine, conventional automatic and four-seat layout match the RM173,900 1.5 Rhino Plus, leaving a RM15,000 gap. On the published key specifications, that extra money does not buy additional power, seats or a different transmission. Pay more for the Rhino Plus only if its specific trim or equipment is confirmed to matter to you; check the full equipment list before committing.

Verdict

The Jimny is not the rational B-segment SUV choice: its four-seat layout and 100 hp output come at a price well above the Perodua Ativa and Aruz. But it is an intriguing little thing with a distinctly particular brief, not another homogeneous small SUV. The 2026 additions of ADAS, front and rear parking sensors and an unlimited-mileage warranty make the Malaysian package easier to live with.
