High five! 2024 Suzuki Jimny XL five-door finally lands in Australia, but how much does the tiny off-roader cost?

Suzuki's five-door Jimny XL has finally launched in Australia and arrived with list price starting from $34,990.

That price will get you into the manual version of the little off-roader, while the automatic lists for $36,490.

In comparison the three-door Jimny starts at $31,990 for the manual and $33,490 for the auto, meaning its a $3000 premium for the extra doors.

The much anticipated Jimny XL is 340mm longer than the three-door Jimny at 3985mm measured from the front bumper to the spare wheel cover on the tailgate.

That entire increase in length has gone into the wheelbase which measures 2590mm, creating more space in cabin and a larger boot.

Standard features in the Jimny XL include a larger 9.0-inch media screen, with wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto, and there's single-zone climate control, but no sat nav.

The Jimny XL uses the same 1.5-litre petrol engine as the three-door, which outputs 75kW of power and 130Nm of torque.

The Jimny XL has not been crash tested and is unlikely to to be given the three-star ANCAP rating of the Jimny three door.

Suzuki also confirmed today that the automatic version of the three-door Jimny was back on sale after a sales pause was introduced due to overwhelming demand.

Richard had wanted to be an astrophysicist since he was a small child. He was so determined that he made it through two years of a physics degree, despite zero mathematical ability. Unable to build a laser in an exam and failing to solve the theoretical challenge of keeping a satellite in orbit, his professor noted the success Richard was enjoying in the drama and writing courses he had been doing on the side. Even though Richard couldn’t see how a degree in story-telling and pretending would ever get him a job, he completed one anyway. Richard has since been a best-selling author and a journalist for 20 years, writing about science, music, finance, cars, TV, art, film, cars, theatre, architecture, food, and cars. He also really likes cars, and has owned an HQ ute, Citroen 2CV, XW Falcon, CV8 Monaro and currently, a 1951 Ford Tudor. A husband and dad, Richard’s hobbies also include astronomy.
