While we’re all waiting for the five-door version of the Suzuki Jimny, the Japanese manufacturer has just launched a new special version on the market. Named after Sierra 4Sport, this limited edition becomes the most adventurous option in the entire range of this impressive and tiny off-roader.
But don’t sing of victory, because to begin with this Suzuki Jimny Sierra 4Sport is limited to only 100 units. And these will be all the rage among lovers of this SUV in Brazil. Because they will be sold there exclusively.
A Suzuki Jimny designed exclusively for Brazil

In Brazil, the Suzuki Jimny retains the four places
The main difference we found compared to those who are sold here and in other parts of the world is that in Brazil it is not considered an industrial vehicle. It is for this reason that it retains its original rear seats and four seats.. The front ones have the particularity of being able to tilt and become a bed.

Under the hood, no surprises. The simple 1.5 atmospheric engine which delivers 108 hp and 138 Nm of torque is retained. Oddly enough, those numbers are a bit better than the Suzuki Jimny in other parts of the world, including Spain.. As you know, here this gasoline engine provides 102 hp and 130 Nm. Its AllGrip Pro all-wheel drive system is also maintained and it bets on a four-speed automatic transmission.
