The Suzuki Jimny 5-door is the more practical version of Suzuki’s legendary compact jeep. It was launched in Indonesia at IIMS 2024 as a companion to the already popular 3-door Jimny. The boxy, bold, slightly retro design is kept intact, but passenger access and cabin space are considerably better.
The two extra doors make it much easier for second-row passengers to get in and out, and the larger cargo area can hold suitcases and holiday gear. The red paint looks bold and energetic, and it is photogenic on Bali’s beaches, rice fields, and mountains. At roughly 4 meters long, the 5-door Jimny remains nimble on narrow roads and in busy tourist areas.
Engine and Performance
The Jimny 5-door is powered by the K15B engine, known for being reliable and fuel-efficient. General specifications:
- Engine displacement: 1,462 cc, 4-cylinder, DOHC 16-valve with VVT technology
- Maximum power: approximately 102 PS at 6,000 rpm
- Maximum torque: approximately 130 Nm at 4,000 rpm
- Transmission: 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic
- Drivetrain: All Grip Pro 4WD with 2H, 4H, and 4L modes
This is the same engine as the 3-door version and is also used in several other Suzuki models, so its reputation for reliability is well proven. The All Grip 4WD system makes the Jimny ready to tackle slippery, rocky, or steep terrain like a true jeep.
Interior
The Jimny 5-door’s interior is functional, ergonomic, and more modern than the 3-door version:
- A 9-inch touchscreen head unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Auto climate air conditioning, which adjusts the cabin temperature automatically
- A bold, easy-to-use dashboard, with controls that are practical to reach
- A high seating position, offering wide forward visibility
- Easy access to the second-row seats through the two additional doors

- Hill Hold Control (HHC), preventing the car from rolling backward when stopped on an incline
- 4WD modes (2H, 4H, 4L), to match the drivetrain to the terrain

Comfort on the Road
The Jimny 5-door’s cabin feels roomier and more comfortable for group travel than the 3-door version. Second-row passengers can get in and out easily without folding the front seats, and luggage has more adequate space. The auto climate air conditioning keeps the cabin cool, while the 9-inch head unit makes navigation and entertainment easy through a smartphone.
For the driver, the high seating position offers a wide view, building confidence on winding or uphill roads. The still-compact body keeps the Jimny easy to handle and park. With its adventure-jeep atmosphere and improved comfort, the 5-door Jimny is well suited to holidays for two to four people in Bali.
