Jimny 3-Door updated with tech and safety upgrades

Suzuki released its pricing for its new 4x4 range, starting from R444 900.

Suzuki has updated the Jimny 3-Door with a range of technology and safety enhancements.

This rugged 4×4, exclusively available in GLX specification, has received an upgraded 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, replacing the previous 7.0-inch unit and featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone screen mirroring. The updates also include a rear-view camera system, supplemented by rear park-distance sensors.

Updates have also been made to the three-door’s safety suite. Included as standard are front, side and curtain airbags as well as Isofix child-seat anchorages. However, several advanced driver assistance systems are available at an additional cost.

These include Suzuki’s DSBS II (Dual Sensor Brake Support II) setup, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and prevention, and pedestrian and bicycle/motorcycle detection. Frontpark-distance sensors are also available. Automatic LED projector headlamps are fitted as standard, with high-beam assist available as an option.
