=== Some Jimny history ===

It is important to understand some Jimny history. First, as this forum has a large UK based membership, visitors from other countries may be confused by the vehicle name. Within the UK only the latest version of the "Jimny" (sometimes refered to as the 3rd Generation Jimny) is called the Jimny. Previous versions, that were called "Jimny" in other countries were called LJ50, LJ80, SJ410 , SJ413 and Samurai within the UK market. Therefore this website uses the term Jimny only to refer to this latest generation vehicle.

The compact off-road capable Suzuki Jimny was Suzuki's first global success, lending it name recognition and a foothold in markets worldwide. The Jimny slotted into a hitherto unfilled gap in the market.

These are particularly interesting as they were the last of the SJ413 developments and effectively had the "3rd Generation" suspension (coil springs) making them very similar to the Jimny as we currently know it.
 
=== 3rd Generation ===

The 3rd Generation vehicles came along in 1998, initially with the JB33 variant which had the 1300cc SOHC G13B Series engine. This was built in hardtop (Japanese) and a Softtop (Built by Santana in Spain from 1999 to 2009)

This was followed by the JB43 variant with the 1300 cc DOHC M13A Series engine.

Within some markets a JB53 variant was produced with the Renault sourced K9K Diesel engine.
