In 2012, Suzuki made a final update for its smallest offroader, the Jimny, and tried to improve it and keep it on the market until its replacement came in 2018.
The lilliputian off-road vehicle didn't have any identity crisis, so the carmaker didn't have to burn the midnight oil to create a revolutionary model. Still, the design team created a new front fascia with the help of a new bumper that sported a trapezoidal air intake in the middle and two scoops on the sides that hosted the fog lamps. Its predecessor featured a rectangular center lower grille.
Inside, there were hardly any differences between the two versions, but there were two which clearly deserved to be mentioned. First, the headrests for all occupants were replaced. While in the 2005 model year, those were made from plastic and featured a hollow area, in 2012, those were replaced with full-face ones. In addition, the rear seats received anchor points for ISOFIX child seats. Yet, it was difficult to understand how someone could place a child seat in the back of a Jimny.
Under the hood, the automaker used the same 1.3-liter gasoline engine as before but gained a few horses. In addition, the electronic stability control became standard on the entire range. The automaker added new shift lights and a tire pressure monitor.
