Suzuki Jimny's Five-Door Model Creates Buzz in Japan

The five-door variant of the Suzuki Jimny, although no longer available in the UK, continues to capture global admiration. Launched in Japan as the Jimny Nomade, its high demand has led to an immediate halt in orders.

Surge in Demand

- Initial Sales: The Jimny Nomade debuted in Japan amid great anticipation.
- Overflow of Orders: A rush of orders has surpassed Suzuki's production capabilities.
- Suzuki's Response: The company announced, "Orders suspended temporarily due to demand exceeding production capacity."

Global Journey

Originally introduced in early 2023 for markets in India, Latin America, and Africa, the Japanese version retains its charm under the name Jimny Nomade. Its design closely parallels the three-door Jimny Sierra, featuring:

- Extended Ladder Frame: Tailored for additional weight.
- Interior Adjustments: Repositioned rear seats for improved legroom and an expanded boot.

Pricing Comparison

Once orders resume, the Nomade will be priced at 2,651,000 yen (just under £14,000). In contrast, the Sierra is available for 2,084,500 yen (just under £11,000), underscoring the UK enthusiasts' longing for this model.

  

Summary: The Suzuki Jimny's new five-door model, the Nomade, has seen an overwhelming reception in Japan, with demand halting orders. As it mirrors the beloved three-door Sierra, its global appeal continues, leaving UK fans wistful for its return.
