It’s impossible not to fall for the Jimny. Just look at it! Suzuki’s designers have penned a shape that hits a sweet spot somewhere between cheeky, chunky and cheerful. That it drives noticeably better than the previous one isn’t a huge surprise given the two decades of development time it’s had.

Like a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, but in 50 percent scale. This, along with retro cues make it instantly desirable. Off the beaten path, the Jimny’s simply perfect. The visibility is excellent and the standard All Grip Pro four-wheel drive system with brake-based limited-slip differential means it can haul itself over rutted tracks and even up 38-degree slopes with no difficulty. It even comes standard with hill-hold and descent modes, and a simple-to-use traction control system.
