Suzuki Jimny Special Edition revealed for France limited to just 55 units
The Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition is exclusively available in France and brings cosmetic enhancements to the off-roader Check Offers
The Suzuki Jimny is a global icon for the automaker that has been sold for 55 years. Celebrating this legacy, Suzuki has introduced a limited edition version of the Jimny 3-door in France. The Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Limited Edition is restricted to just 55 units in the French market. But more importantly, it marks the departure of the Jimny not only from France but also from Europe.
The Suzuki Jimny has been off the shelves in Europe for a while now due to stricter emission regulations. The model made a comeback briefly, positioned as a commercial vehicle (without rear seats), but was discontinued in Germany as well as other parts of Europe by mid-2024. This makes the new limited edition Jimny all the more special, and a true collector's item for enthusiasts of the little off-roader.

The Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Limited Edition pays tribute to over three million units sold of the off-roader globally in the last 55 years.

The cabin gets rubber floor mats in the passenger compartment and the boot space. There's a logbook with an embossed leather cover to record your memories, and a matching key chain. Customers of the limited edition Jimny also get 4x4 training to improve their off-road skills.

The limited edition Suzuki Jimny is based on the Privilège variant in France, and is equipped with air conditioning, heated seats, a Bluetooth audio system, lane departure and lane change warning, auto high beam control, traffic sign recognition, and more. 55 lucky customers who get their hands on the Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition will also receive off-road training Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition: Specifications

The off-roader offers an approach angle of 37 degrees, a departure angle of 49 degrees, and a landing angle of 28 degrees.
