The Suzuki Jimny 1.5 GL M/T (2019) is a compact icon that proves rugged off-road ability and everyday city driving can coexist. With its classic body-on-frame construction and genuine 4WD system, this small crossover SUV delivers authentic adventure capability wrapped in a playful design.

Under the hood, a 1.5-liter inline-4 gasoline engine (1462cc, DOHC 16-valve, naturally aspirated) produces 102 PS at 6000 rpm and 130 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. Power is sent to all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission, giving you full control on and off the pavement. The rigid axle with coil springs at both ends further reinforces its trail-ready character.

Key Highlights

  • 4WD drivetrain plus Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control make steep climbs and descents manageable even for beginners.
  • Compact but versatile: 3650mm length and 2250mm wheelbase with a 1725mm height – easy to maneuver in Metro Manila traffic, yet ready for weekend escapes.
  • Modern connectivity includes a touchscreen with built-in navigation, Bluetooth, USB, and MP3 playback. Also features manual air conditioning, power windows, and central locking.
  • Rolls on 15-inch alloy wheels shod with 195/80 R15 tires, while halogen headlights, fog lights, and a security alarm ensure peace of mind.
  • Backed by a 3-year/100,000km warranty and available in striking colors like Jungle Green, Kinetic Yellow, and Brisk Blue Metallic with contrasting black roof.

For Filipino drivers who want a fun, reliable daily driver that can handle rough provincial roads and tight city streets, the Suzuki Jimny 1.5 GL M/T (2019) is a standout choice. It seats up to four passengers (2+2 layout) and offers genuine off-road capability without sacrificing everyday practicality. Priced at PHP 1,258,000, this car delivers exceptional value for those seeking an authentic 4×4 experience in a compact package – one of the most distinctive vehicles in its price bracket in the Philippines.
