Pros Cheap to buy Spacious interior Generous equipment
Cons Ride can be fidgety Vague steering Poor infotainment system
Pros Looks superb, doesn’t use much fuel, chirpy character.
Cons Hybrid tech makes it slightly less of a bargain
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
Pros Adorable design, off-road prowess, plenty of equipment
Cons Choosing between carrying people or their possessions
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
Cons Safety rating is an ever-present issue Luggage space almost non-existent when the second row is in use Four-speed auto would probably be better served with an extra ratio
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
