Suzuki Jimny JB74: Nostalgia and an eye on the future
Warning: This article might be slightly biased.
When Suzuki launched their new Jimny JB74 model in the picturesque highveld region, back in 2018, it became my dream to own one of these small “do-it-all” vehicles. Fast forward to 2022, and our eyes were set on an extensive road trip, covering some 5500km, from the Southern point of South Africa to the Northern, and Eastern parts of the country. Our journey took as back to the location where I fell in love with the JB74, as well as towards Clarens, the town which is set to host the #JimnyGathering in September 2023.
Jimny 5-door revealed
At last, the 5-door version of the Jimny JB74 has been showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo in New-Delhi, India. Set to officially be launched in India around March 2023, Southern-Africans will have to wait a bit longer for the arrival of this eagerly anticipated off-roader.

One of the largest motoring gatherings, certainly in the southern hemisphere, and potentially the world, is winking on the horizon.
New Suzuki Jimny GL the perfect balance between ultimate adventure and standard luxuries
With a huge cult-following in Southern-Africa, the very capable and nimble Suzuki Jimny just expanded its model line-up with the new GL and Rhino edition variants. This comes as more customers are looking for slightly more added extras than the GA, as well as the automatic gearbox, only found up until recently, in the GLX variant.

The iconic spiel
Ford Mustang, Ferrari F40, Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. All of these are legends in their own right and will get you plenty of attention but if you need a little more – right now I guarantee it – just get yourself the brand-new Suzuki Jimny. Our test car’s black stickers on crazy lumo-green-yellow paint can probably help as well.
