2020 Suzuki Jimny GLX 1.5 from South Africa
Summary:
Awesome off road vehicle which is also a pleasure on the road
Faults:
Nothing, it's a great reliable 4x4.
General Comments:
This is a very capable 4x4 and great fun to drive.
I have driven through the Kruger National Park from South to North and back again doing nearly every road. I have also done the infamous Sani Pass in my Jimny, which was a lot of fun. I also completed the 4x4 track in the Imfolozi. This vehicle is very capable and a lot of fun. The Infotainment system is also great. I added a tow bar and it tows well.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

While I also love the Jimny, I don’t believe it’s government regulation that is keeping it out of the United States; Suzuki ceased the sale of cars here nearly a decade ago. A low-margin, off-road capable, true SPORT/UTILITY vehicle doesn’t have the business case for the brand to return upon. The public here wants a soft, fuel-efficient RAV4 or CR-V, that drives like an economy sedan, but suggests that they have an active lifestyle and are immune to inclement weather.

Too bad we no longer get it here in North America for "safety" reasons. This is a neat like 4x4 car unmatched. A pleasure to drive inside the city, much less on the road at speed.
