The Suzuki Jimny is a compact SUV with a cult following — and for good reason. Its iconic boxy design, go-anywhere 4x4 capability, and minimalist, adventure-ready interior make it the perfect choice for travelers who want to explore Iceland’s remote trails and rugged terrain without needing a full-size SUV.
Whether you're heading up into the Highlands or sticking to gravel tracks and scenic routes, the Jimny offers a lightweight yet powerful 4x4 experience for two.
Under the hood, the Suzuki Jimny features a 1.5L four-cylinder petrol engine with manual transmission:
Fuel consumption: approx. 6.8L/100km
Manual gearbox for full control over changing road conditions
Compact engine is ideal for off-road agility and fuel savings
Fuel economy may vary based on terrain, load, and driving style — especially when navigating steep hills or loose gravel.
While minimal in luxury, the Jimny excels where it matters most — off-road toughness and driver control:
4x4 drivetrain for tackling Iceland’s rough terrain
High ground clearance for ruts, rocks, and river crossings
Simple and functional interior layout
Clear visibility and upright driving position
✅ This vehicle is allowed on F-roads, making it ideal for Iceland’s Highland routes and backcountry trails.
Inside, the Suzuki Jimny is intentionally compact and rugged:
Seating for 2 passengers (rear seats folded for storage)
Cargo space for approximately 2 large suitcases or several duffel bags
Hard-wearing materials suited for outdoor gear and adventure use
A no-nonsense cabin designed with practicality in mind
It’s a great choice for solo travelers or adventurous pairs traveling light but far.
