Suzuki Jimny Nomade costs 2,926,000 yen in Japan and combines 5 doors, 1.5 engine, ladder frame, and 4WD with reduction.
The Suzuki Jimny Nomade emerged in Japan as a direct evolution of the proposal that turned the Jimny into a rare case among compact utility vehicles. It remains small on the outside, technical underneath, and true to the logic of a traditional 4×4, but now adopts 5 doors and an extended wheelbase to enhance practicality for daily use.
In the Japanese market, Suzuki itself reports an official price of 2,926,000 yen for the Jimny Nomade FC in both the 4WD with 5-speed manual transmission version and the 4WD with 4-speed automatic transmission configuration. According to the exchange rate displayed by Wise for the JPY/BRL pair, this amount is approximately R$ 93,600 in direct conversion, excluding Brazilian taxes, shipping, homologation, local fees, or resale margin.
Suzuki Jimny Nomade is the first 5-door Jimny launched by the brand in Japan
Suzuki announced the Jimny Nomade as the first 5-door model in the history of the Jimny line. In the official launch statement, the manufacturer informed that the model would arrive in the Japanese market on April 3, 2025, maintaining a focus on real four-wheel drive capability and use on difficult terrains.

The most visible change is in the bodywork. The traditional Jimny built its reputation around the short format and 3 doors, while the Nomade adds rear doors and extends the wheelbase to facilitate access to the second row and improve internal space utilization.
In the official measurements, the model is 3,890 mm long, 1,645 mm wide, 1,725 mm high, and has a 2,590 mm wheelbase. This shows that it remains compact by current standards but already offers a more functional body than the short version.
1.5 Naturally Aspirated Engine of Jimny Nomade Prioritizes Mechanical Simplicity and Robustness
In Japan, the Jimny Nomade uses a 1.5 naturally aspirated engine with 1,460 cm³, identified in the official specifications as a DOHC 16V with VVT unit. Suzuki reports a maximum power of 74 kW at 6,000 rpm, approximately 101 hp, and torque of 130 Nm at 4,000 rpm.
This is not an SUV designed for sporty performance. The project’s logic remains focused on simple operation, predictable power delivery, and behavior compatible with low-traction sections, dirt roads, and light to moderate off-road use. This aligns with the Jimny’s own historical proposal.
In the consumption figures of the WLTC cycle, Suzuki reports 14.9 km/l for the 5-speed manual version and 13.6 km/l for the 4-speed automatic. The manufacturer also emphasizes that the results are obtained under standardized test conditions and may vary according to traffic, weather, load, and driving mode.
Ladder frame, rigid axle, and 4WD with low gear maintain the jeep’s soul
The major technical differential of the Jimny Nomade appears in its structure. Suzuki states that the model preserves the ladder-type chassis, a classic solution for vehicles intended for severe use and much less common among compact urban SUVs with monocoque construction.
The suspension also follows the traditional recipe of the line. In the official specifications, the Nomade features 3-link rigid axle and coil springs at the front and rear, an arrangement clearly oriented towards articulation, resistance, and control on uneven terrain, even though it doesn’t focus as much on ride comfort as more modern urban utilities.
Another decisive point is the part-time 4WD system with 2H, 4H, and 4L modes. It is this presence of the mechanical low gear that sets the Jimny Nomade apart from many SUVs with an adventurous look but without the same technical base to tackle mud, steep climbs, severe descents, and low-traction sections.
210 mm ground clearance reinforces the off-road appeal of the Suzuki Jimny Nomade
Even larger and longer, the Jimny Nomade maintains an important measure for off-road. Suzuki’s official specifications indicate 210 mm of minimum ground clearance, a significant number for tackling ditches, rocks, erosions, and obstacles that typically challenge lower utilities.
The brand itself highlights that the project aimed to maintain the ability to traverse difficult terrains even with the increase in body size. This helps explain why the Nomade didn’t just become a “prettier” or “more family-friendly” Jimny, but rather an extension of the original concept with a real focus on mixed use.
In practice, it is the combination of ladder frame chassis, rigid axles, 4WD with reduction, and high ground clearance that supports the model’s identity. The Nomade remains a compact jeep with engineering solutions that have become rare in this size of vehicle today.
Jimny Nomade’s interior gained practicality, but without abandoning the functional proposal
The Jimny Nomade does not try to compete with medium family SUVs. In Suzuki’s official material, it appears as a 5-door 1.5 for 4 to 5 occupants, with a simple cabin, elevated driving position, and an interior design focused more on functionality than sophistication.
In the equipment list, Suzuki states that the version with HD audio display, rear camera, and expanded connectivity compatibility costs 128,700 yen more. This package also includes features related to Suzuki Connect, maintaining the focus on practicality without changing the car’s simple character.
Jimny Nomade’s price in Japan draws attention when converted to reais
The Japanese price is one of the points that most attract the attention of the Brazilian public. On the official Suzuki Japan website, the Jimny Nomade FC appears with a price of 2,926,000 yen for both the 5MT and 4AT, something unusual in a market where automatic transmissions often increase the vehicle’s cost.
Using the rate shown by Wise of approximately R$ 0.03198 per yen, this figure amounts to R$ 93,563.24, rounded to about R$ 93.6 thousand. This calculation is just a direct currency conversion and does not represent a possible selling price in Brazil.
Technical specifications of the Suzuki Jimny Nomade in Japan gather numbers that explain its appeal
In the Japanese configuration, the model combines a 1.5 naturally aspirated engine of 1,460 cm³, power of 74 kW at 6,000 rpm, torque of 130 Nm at 4,000 rpm, part-time 4WD traction, reduced 4L, 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, and capacity for 4 to 5 occupants.
The official dimensions are 3,890 mm in length, 1,645 mm in width, 1,725 mm in height, and 2,590 mm in wheelbase. The utility vehicle also maintains 210 mm of ground clearance, reinforcing its off-road capability even with the larger body.
In WLTC consumption, Suzuki publishes 14.9 km/l for the manual and 13.6 km/l for the automatic. The official price remains at 2,926,000 yen, with an increase of 128,700 yen for the version equipped with audio display and extra connectivity features.
