Hoping one of you guys might be able to provide some definitive information on the differences between the new Jimny SZ4 and SZ5 variants.
I know exact specs. differ from market to market, but I’ve had contradictory information from Suzuki dealers.
So the things I’m pretty sure about are: Alloy Wheels, LED light, Privacy Glass, Climate control, Heated Seats, Touch Screen Audio, Leather Steering Wheel, tool thing in the boot and some extra power sockets here and there.
The bit that’s I’ve had contradictory information about is the safety feature stuff, the braking and sign reading thingy.
I’d seen that in the UK both the SZ4 and SZ5 models had this safety feature. I went for a test drive at the weekend and the dealer told me the SZ4 definitely did not have this.
I'd be interested in the answer to this one too. I've got an SZ4 on order, but it's a bit mad that Suzuki still don't have a proper brochure available listing the exact specification of the different models.
My dealer thought that the safety braking was there on the SZ4, but wasn't sure about the traffic sign recognition.
I'm guessing all of the demonstrators are the SZ5?

Thanks Martin. That totally clears that up fro me.
The dealer I visited on the weekend explicitly told me there was no Dual Sensor Brake Support on the SZ4....I'll have to send them that document ;o)

Thanks Martin, that's really useful. If both models have Lane Departure Warning, then I'm guessing that the camera/sensor module above the rear view mirror is common, so maybe the road sign warning functionality is also included.
Yes, however I would advise caution as these are early specs and they could be printed incorrectly.
Also, based on my own cars, Lane Departure Warning is standard on fairly low specification cars but traffic sign recognition is only on the higher spec ones (Range Rovers). So whilst some of the physical tech might be there, the back end processor or software enablement may not be.

Oh dear me, they are filling them with technology, the very reason [strike]or lack of[/strike] I purchased a Jimny in the first place. I guess my ideal model in the new range would be minus SZ4.....:lol:
Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)
auto version: 0.697x 1.320 = 0.920
manual : 1.000 x 1.000 = 1,000
Does this mean auto will have lower RPM on roads cruising? (I think it was same before)
by the way I am located in Istanbul Turkey. We only have SZ5 here auto. And the price is 24500 Euros including everything tax etc. led lights etc.
Comparing with the price of Subaru XV in UK, (a japanese import example), we find it more expensive "relatively" here, probably because there are not many for sale yet. I would buy it if it was around 20-21k with that configuration.
edit:
(uk prices)
subaru 1.6 xv base : 25310 pounds
jimny sz5 auto: 19000 pounds.
here in Turkey. they are both 24500 euros. interesting.
