The Suzuki Jimny produced since 2018 (JB64 codes for the Japanese market and JB74 for the global market, often called Jimny Sierra) represents the 4th generation of the famous small off-roader, although sometimes classified as the 3rd generation in some catalogs depending on the inclusion of the very first LJ models. A true automotive phenomenon, it generated such enthusiasm that delivery times sometimes exceeded two years. Built on a true ladder frame with rigid axles and switchable 4x4 transmission with a transfer case (ALLGRIP PRO), it's a purebred off-roader.
