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.

Laura Berry is a best-selling Australian author and journalist who has been reviewing cars for almost 20 years.  Much more of a Hot Wheels girl than a Matchbox one, she grew up in a family that would spend every Friday night sitting on a hill at the Speedway watching Sprintcars slide in the mud. The best part of this was being given money to buy stickers. She loved stickers… which then turned into a love of tattoos. Out of boredom, she learnt to drive at 14 on her parents’ bush property in what can only be described as a heavily modified Toyota LandCruiser.   At the age of 17 she was told she couldn’t have a V8 Holden ute by her mother, which led to Laura and her father laying in the driveway for three months building a six-cylinder ute with more horsepower than a V8.   Since then she’s only ever owned V8s, with a Ford Falcon XW and a Holden Monaro CV8 part of her collection over the years.  Laura has authored two books and worked as a journalist writing about science, cars, music, TV, cars, art, food, cars, finance, architecture, theatre, cars, film and cars. But, mainly cars.   A wife and parent, her current daily driver is a chopped 1951 Ford Tudor with a V8.
