Suzuki Philippines has officially launched the much awaited all-new Jimny All Grip Pro to the Philippine market. First previewed at the 2018 PIMS, Suzuki dealerships actually started accepting reservations 4Q last year without the official pricing.
The fourth generation of Suzuki’s trademark 4×4 boasts of a simple, rugged design that exudes tough strength that guarantees real off-road adventure across any terrain, trail, and even thick forests. And it’s so darn cute.
“Our determination to provide simple, straightforward and functional vehicles such as the Suzuki Jimny All-Grip Pro underscores our commitment to continuously provide innovation that Filipinos can rely on. Every detail of the fourth-generation Jimny—from the body to the engine—is designed to deliver the maximum performance and durability required by serious off-road travelers. With this newest addition to our lineup of vehicles, more Filipinos can now enjoy the Suzuki Way of Life as they explore more challenges and adventures,” said SPH Director and Automobile Division General Manager Keiichi Suzuki.

The all-new Jimny is powered by a 1.5-liter, 4-cylinder K15B engine that delivers stronger torque at all rpm than the previous Jimny. It features a specially designed flywheel for engine flexibility and improved NVH and a lightweight resin belt cover and fuel tank. The optimized intake system and long nozzle injector enhance fuel efficiency.
The Jimny All-Grip Pro also features Suzuki’s Total Effective Control Technology (TECT), which scatters collision energy across the vehicle frame to mitigate damage to the car and passengers.
To reduce driver stress and fatigue, one of the top design considerations for the new Jimny, the SUV’s ladder frame rigidity was increased and the body mounts redesigned for lower vibration. The front seat cushion frames are 70mm wider and 50mm taller for better shock absorption. Unpleasant noise inside the cabin was reduced through the strategic placement of sound-absorbing material throughout the body.

For greater dependability, the Jimny All-Grip Pro use zinc-coated steel more extensively and has a more effective floor undercoating and seater coatings at panel edges to protect it against rust caused by salt from river crossings.
The all-new Jimny also comes with hill hold control, hill descent control, and brake limited slip-differential (LSD) traction control.
Designed to deliver an authentic 4×4 experience, the all-new Jimny features All Grip Pro for a high off-road capability that allows instant response and maneuver through difficult terrain. It uses a ladder frame that is more resistant than a monocoque body to torsion and is, therefore, better suited for off-road, rough terrain. Compared with many SUVs today with independent suspensions, the Jimny uses a long-stroke 3-link suspension and rigid full wheel axles on both front and rear for strong traction on uneven terrain. It also features a 37-degree specialized approach angle, 28-degree ramp break over angle and 49-degree departure angle allow it to maneuver over ridges and verticals.
With its part-time 4WD with low-range transfer gear, the Jimny can switch between 4WD and 2WD to achieve optimal off-road performance and better fuel economy and enhanced cornering on paved roads, respectively. The SUV also has extra torque in the 4L mode for rough terrain.
