The Jimny’s ultra-honest unpretentiousness is the antidote to every beige crossover out there. Just don’t expect sophistication, and you’ll adore it

We've tested the Jimny extensively off-road and we know what it is capable of, but this time we drive the auto around town to see if it makes sense as a city car.
Pros Short wheelbase and incredible visibility make for easy driving Seat height is fantastic if you're jumping in and out regularly Peppy engine actually feels quite sporty around town

Pros Characterful, standout design Excellent off-road capabilities Plenty of ability for the price
Cons Unrefined driving experience Tiny boot when rear seats are in place Poor economy
