Suzuki Australia has reopened orders for its automatic Jimny three-door.
Despite back orders for the auto stretch as far as the second half of 2024, Suzuki Australia has secured additional production slots allowing for orders to reopen.
Suzuki Australia paused new orders in January and reopened them in September for the supply-constrained automatic off-roader, but all 500 available vehicles were snapped up in under five hours.
The Jimny is offered with the choice of a manual or automatic transmission.
When it first launched the manual was more popular but as time went on the sales split shifted to the automatic – hence orders for the latter being paused in the face of rampant demand.
The three-door Jimny enters 2024 unchanged, though it’s being joined by a longer five-door version called the Jimny XL for which pricing and specifications were announced this week.
To the end of November, Suzuki has sold 4673 Jimnys in Australia. That means, despite supply issues, it’s still the brand’s second best-seller, behind only the Swift (6486 sales).
