Suzuki Jimny - 3rd Gen (1998 to 2018)

The 3rd Gen Jimny was introduced by Suzuki in 1998 (codenamed JB23/JB33). It maintained the 2-door body style and the classic four-wheel drive with a transfer case, now with a more refined system. It was equipped with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. Power came primarily from a 1.3L inline four engine, available in gasoline and diesel. For the first time in its lineage, Suzuki fused modern styling and improved comfort, safety and on-road manners with the Jimny’s traditional core off-road DNA, striking a near-perfect balance between urban usability and trail-tested toughness. The 3rd Gen Suzuki Jimny was produced until 2018 when it was replaced by the 4th Gen (2018-present).
