Recently sourced for Personal Import customer James, this 1996 Suzuki Jimny JA22 is a true standout on UK roads. With just 48,698 miles on the clock, this compact off-roader is packed with character and ready for adventure.
For those who appreciate rugged capability in a small package, the 1996 Suzuki Jimny JA22 is an excellent choice. This lightweight 4x4 has developed a cult following worldwide, thanks to its blend of reliability, off-road performance, and retro charm. Originally designed to comply with Japan’s kei car regulations, the JA22 still manages to be an impressively capable off-roader.
Under the bonnet, this JA22 variant is powered by a 660cc K6A turbocharged 3-cylinder engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. To meet kei car regulations, the engine is limited to 63bhp, which may not sound like much, but thanks to the Jimny’s lightweight frame, it delivers an engaging and nimble driving experience.
One of the standout features of the JA22 Jimny is its iconic styling. Retaining the boxy, rugged design of its predecessors, this model features the distinctive round headlights, bold front grille, and unique wing mirrors that make it instantly recognisable.
As a Land Venture model, this Jimny comes with some rare factory features, including a compass, barometer, and altimeter built into the dashboard—perfect for those who love exploring off the beaten track.
Whether you're looking for a daily driver with personality or a capable off-road companion, the JA22 Jimny proves that size isn’t everything.
