Suzuki has officially launched the updated version of the 3-door Jimny and Jimny Sierra in Japan. The new model comes with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for the first time, making it safer and more feature-packed than before. The refreshed version will go on sale in Japan starting 4 November 2025.
New Design and Features
The updated Suzuki Jimny gets a few design tweaks, including revised front and rear bumpers for a more stylish and rugged look. However, the biggest highlight is the addition of Level 2 ADAS technology, which takes the off-roader’s safety and convenience to a new level.
The new safety suite includes:
- Collision damage mitigation braking
- Lane departure prevention
- Adaptive cruise control
- Rearward false-start prevention
These features aim to reduce accidents and make driving easier in both city and highway conditions.
Why ADAS is a Big Upgrade
The addition of ADAS makes the Jimny more advanced and brings it closer to global safety standards. It’s the first time Suzuki has equipped this off-roader with such modern tech in Japan.
Apart from ADAS, the updated Jimny now also supports Suzuki Connect, which offers remote vehicle tracking, service reminders, and emergency alerts.
Jimny in India – Will It Get ADAS Next?
In India, Maruti Suzuki currently sells only the five-door Jimny, which was launched in 2023. While it’s loved for its compact size and 4×4 performance, it does not have ADAS yet.
Interestingly, the Maruti Suzuki Victorious (recently launched SUV) became the first model in India from the brand to get ADAS. With Suzuki adding this technology to the Japan-spec Jimny, Indian customers are now curious if the local version will receive similar upgrades in the future.
However, ADAS may not be as useful in India’s unpredictable traffic and road conditions, especially for an off-road vehicle like the Jimny. Still, the feature would definitely enhance its appeal among urban buyers looking for a safer and more tech-loaded SUV.
Engine and Performance Remain the Same
The new Jimny continues to be powered by the 1.5-litre petrol engine, paired with manual and automatic gearbox options. The focus of this update is mainly on safety and convenience rather than mechanical changes.
Conclusion
The updated 3-door Suzuki Jimny in Japan is now smarter, safer, and more connected than before, thanks to ADAS and Suzuki Connect. While there’s no official confirmation about these updates coming to India, it clearly shows that Suzuki is preparing its global lineup for the future of intelligent and safe driving.
Indian buyers can hope that these safety technologies may soon make their way into the Indian-spec Jimny in the coming years.
