The 2024 Suzuki Jimny range of configurations is currently priced from $31,888.
Our most recent review of the 2024 Suzuki Jimny resulted in a score of 7.2 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Journalist Chris Thompson had this to say at the time: If you currently own a three-door Jimny and expect the XL to provide you with much beyond a more spacious second row (or luggage compartment overall), it might be best to hold on to what you’ve got.

The 2024 Suzuki Jimny carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1300 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Suzuki Jimny 2024 prices range from $29,150 for the basic trim level SUV Lite to $49,280 for the top of the range SUV XL Heritage Edition.
Standard equipment in the Suzuki Jimny XL includes a 9.0-inch (up from 7.0 inch) touchscreen multimedia system (with wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto), AEB, adaptive cruise control (on auto variants), rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, LED headlights, and 15-inch alloys.
The Suzuki Jimny XL has a basic but comfortable cabin; cloth seats, hard, durable plastics, and everything, including the controls, is practical.
The XL is longer than the three-door Jimny so there is a bit more room inside the cabin, in general, but there is plenty of head, leg and shoulder room in the two-person rear seat.
There is also a little bit of extra space in the rear cargo area than in the three-door Jimny, allowing you some more flexibility in terms of what, and how much, you can pack in there.
The five-door Jimny XL has the same 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine as the three-door – and that produces 75kW at 6000rpm and 130Nm at 4000rpm.
The XL is available with either a four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual gearbox.
It has a part-time four-wheel drive system with high- and low-range, and off-road traction control.
The backlog of orders for the retro little Suzuki Jimny means that buyers need to be patient. At the start of this year, Carsguide was told that the average waiting time between purchase and delivery in Australia was between six and eight months. While ever Suzuki is experiencing demand like that, you wouldn’t expect any rush to expand the range.
That said, reports have emerged that Suzuki has, indeed, green-lighted a five-door Jimny which would have those two extra doors as well as the possibility of a turbocharged engine and even a mild-hybrid driveline (mainly to suit European tastes). The five-door concept is said to be 300mm longer and will probably weigh a little more as well.
At this stage, rumours suggest the five-door wouldn’t be in production until 2023 at the very earliest, but given Australia’s demand for the two-door version, you’d expect Suzuki to give serious consideration to sending the five-door Down Under.

As much as I don't like to recommend that you don't service your car I think in this case you could extend the time between services, but don't let it go beyond 12 months.

Because of the long time that has passed since the crash it will be very hard to connect the problems you are having to the prang. Crank angle sensors often fail on all makes and models, I wouldn't attribute that to the crash, and the head and head gasket problems you have had are unlikely to be related either. The second instance of head cracking and the head gasket failure are more likely to be the result of poor repairs to the head when it first cracked.
