Overview
Looking for a compact SUV with genuine off-road ability and easy city manoeuvrability? The 2017 Suzuki Jimny combines a 1.3L petrol engine, part-time four-wheel drive, low-range gearing, and compact dimensions. For Sri Lankan buyers, its 190 mm ground clearance and simple 4x4 design are useful, although limited cabin space, modest performance, basic safety technology, and less refined highway manners require consideration.

Suzuki Jimny 2017 Review 2017 Price in Sri Lanka
The Suzuki Jimny 2017 Review 2017 is priced at Rs 8,000,000 – 10,000,000 in Sri Lanka. Final price may vary by dealer, so please confirm with your dealer before buying.
Pros
The 190 mm ground clearance provides useful clearance for damaged roads and moderate off-road terrain.A proper part-time 4WD system with low range provides more terrain capability than most small road-focused crossovers.Its 2,250 mm wheelbase and compact body make manoeuvring on narrow roads relatively easy.The 34-degree approach and 46-degree departure angles help when tackling steep changes in terrain.
Cons
The 85 PS and 110 Nm engine provides modest performance, especially with passengers and luggage.Luggage capacity is only around 113 litres with the rear seats raised on documented specifications.The short wheelbase and rigid-axle suspension provide less refined highway behaviour than modern crossovers.Safety and driver-assistance equipment is basic compared with newer compact SUVs.Driver Insights
3.5
out of 5
The 2017 Suzuki Jimny makes sense when genuine 4x4 capability matters more than comfort or outright performance. Its compact dimensions, low-range gearing, rigid axles, and 190 mm ground clearance make it useful on rough Sri Lankan roads, estate routes, and unpaved surfaces. It is also small enough to remain manageable in Colombo. The compromises are noticeable during highway and family use, where limited power, luggage capacity, and refinement become more important. Buyers should inspect the underbody and drivetrain carefully because some vehicles may have experienced demanding off-road use. A well-maintained Jimny remains distinctive, capable, and relatively straightforward mechanically.

Exterior Design
The third-generation Jimny uses a functional upright body with short overhangs, prominent wheel arches, and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel. Its dimensions contribute directly to its off-road capability rather than simply creating an SUV appearance. Relevant specifications provide a 34-degree approach angle, 31-degree ramp breakover angle, and 46-degree departure angle. The compact body also makes narrow Sri Lankan roads easier to negotiate. Buyers should inspect the bumpers, chassis, wheel arches, underbody, spare-wheel mounting, and suspension attachment areas carefully. Evidence of deep scratches, dents underneath the vehicle, or damaged recovery areas can indicate previous heavy off-road use.
