Suzuki Jimmy History

The Suzuki Jimmy is a small four wheel drive built by the Japanese manufacturer Suzuki. Three body styles are available: a metal top, a hard top and soft top. The Jimny replaced the popular Sierra/Samurai model in most markets in 1999, though its predecessor remains in production. The Jimny (3rd generation) was equipped with a newly designed 1.3 L 16-valve four-cylinder electronically fuel injected engine. A ladder type chassis and a dual ratio transfer case is standard, unlike many competing compact 4WDs which lack a low range, and are strictly in the crossover category.
