Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition Unveiled; Here's What's Special

Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition unveiled in France, limited to 55 units only
The 55th Anniversary Jimny leans heavily into retro charm, presenting itself as a modern nod to the model's early years Check Offers Suzuki has unveiled a highly exclusive 55th Anniversary Edition of the Jimny, a limited-production model that pays homage to the brand's iconic off-roader. Restricted to just 55 units and available only in France, this special edition marks a poignant farewell for the Jimny in European markets. With increasingly tight emission regulations phasing the model out, Suzuki's latest offering celebrates the Jimny's rugged heritage and enduring popularity among off-road enthusiasts. It mixes retro styling, necessary features, and some commemorative elements to appeal to collectors as well as loyalists. Priced at €28,955 (around ₹ 28.75 lakh), the 55th Anniversary Edition serves as both a collector's item and a symbolic send-off for one of Suzuki's most beloved models. Deliveries are expected to commence in France by the end of this month.

Key design elements include vintage-style body side stripes, bright red splash guards, and a distinctive Rhino-emblazoned soft spare tyre cover—an icon long associated with the Jimny's tough persona. Up front, a unique honeycomb grille features the full Suzuki script instead of the usual "S" badge, adding to its classic appeal. Rugged black-painted steel wheels enhance the vehicle's utilitarian aesthetic, and customers can select from four muted colour options: Jungle Green, Medium Gray, White, and Bluish Black. Suzuki Jimny 55 Anniversary Edition: Specifications Mechanically, the special edition retains the proven underpinnings of the standard Jimny. It is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that delivers 101 bhp and 130 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and Suzuki's AllGrip Pro 4WD system, complete with a low-range transfer case—ensuring the Jimny continues to punch well above its weight in off-road capability. Weighing just 1,090 kg, its compact size and robust ground clearance make it a nimble adventurer on any terrain.

'Sergeant Jim reporting for duty' Suzuki Jimny joins the Australian Police Force
The Suzuki Jimny four-door gets the special livery as part of the Australian Police Force, and will be used for engagement activities with the local community (Instagram/Suzuki Australia) Check Offers The made-in-India Suzuki Jimny four-door is badged as the Jimny XL in Australia. And the little off-roader has now joined the Australian Police Fleet. Dubbed as 'Sergeant Jim," the Jimny cop car will serve in the Macquarie Police Crime Prevention Unit in New South Wales. The Suzuki Jimny, however, will be used for engagement at schools and in communities, rather than pursuing criminals. The heavy-lifting, in that sense, will rest on the bigger cars in the Australian police fleet, including the BMW 5 Series, Kia Stinger, Volkswagen Passat, and more. Also Read : Suzuki Jimny Special Edition revealed for France, limited to just 55 units The Suzuki Jimny has been dubbed "Sergeant Jim" as part of the Australian Police Force Suzuki Jimny Joins the Australian Police Force For the special role, the 'Sergeant Jim" Jimny has received the red and blue livery with yellow highlights. Suzuki has not revealed if the model has received any mechanical changes for police duty. We do expect to see the siren and red and blue lights as it actively pursues engagement. The Jimny's compact proportions make it more approachable, helping build trust in the community, according to the locals. The local police force also sees it as a great conversation starter and will be on display at several places. Think of it as Australia's version of the Dubai Police supercar fleet. While the supercars aren't used for active police duty, they are quite popular with locals and tourists alike. Notably, the Jimnys that have been inducted into the force have been provided by Suzuki Australia and come at no cost to the local community. The Suzuki Jimny for Australia packs the familiar 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a 4-speed torque converter Australia-Spec Suzuki Jimny: Specifications In terms of powertrain, the Australia-spec Suzuki Jimny XL comes with the familiar 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that develops 99 bhp and 130 Nm of peak torque, paired with a four-speed torque converter. In India, the Maruti Suzuki Gypsy (second generation Jimny globally) has been a strong part of the Indian Police and Armed Forces, serving in the remotest regions across the country. The new Jimny is also being considered for the Indian Armed Forces, thanks to its lightweight and incredible off-road capability, which keeps the legacy alive.
