Suzuki Australia has priced its final three-door Jimny Heritage batch at A$42,490 drive-away. Spain gets no allocation, and Suzuki has no plan to adapt the model for European rules.

The first 300 three-door Heritage cars sold out in five hours in 2023.

Suzuki Australia is now offering another 300, each with an automatic gearbox for the first time. The drive-away price is A$42,490, about €26,300. Numbered 301 to 600, the cars bring production of the three-door Heritage to 600 examples. Suzuki says this is the last Heritage run for the three-door model.

Spain gets no allocation. Suzuki released a five-door Jimny Heritage in Australia in 2024, but this is the final series specifically for the three-door version.

Australia withdrew the three-door Jimny in February 2025 after it failed to meet Australian Design Rules, or ADR, according to PS News. In Europe, stricter emissions requirements have also pushed the passenger version out of the market. Spain now offers the Jimny only as a two-seat commercial vehicle in the N1 category, rather than as a passenger off-roader. Suzuki has no plans to adapt the Heritage to meet European requirements. The closest four-wheel-drive option in Spain is the Swift 4x4 at €22,805, a small utility car rather than a ladder-frame off-roader.

The Heritage package adds retro trim to the automatic GLX, without changing the underlying vehicle. Red rubber mudflaps come with orange and red side stripes. The cabin gets a numbered plaque, and the load area has a Jimny Heritage tray. Suzuki also adds a limited-series badge and mentions an exclusive Heritage pack, but does not detail its contents.

Medium Grey and Jungle Green paint cost an additional A$745. Superior White comes at no extra charge.

Under the bonnet is the naturally aspirated 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine. It produces 75 kW of power, equivalent to about 102 hp, and 130 Nm of torque. The four-speed automatic uses a torque converter and pairs with selectable four-wheel drive and a low-range transfer gear. Suzuki has left the chassis and powertrain otherwise unchanged. The company says customers asked for an automatic Heritage after the first edition, which came only with a manual gearbox.

The new cars carry numbers 301 to 600, taking the three-door Heritage total to 600. The gearbox is the main practical difference between the editions, as covered in earlier coverage. The five-door Heritage joined Australia’s special-edition line-up in 2024; this batch closes the three-door run.

Suzuki says the Heritage costs A$1,500 more than a regular automatic Jimny. The standard automatic is listed at A$36,490 before expenses, while the Heritage price includes them. Those figures are not directly comparable without accounting for the charges. At A$42,490 drive-away, the Heritage is the most expensive three-door Jimny Suzuki has offered in Australia.

Demand for the model remains strong in Australia. Suzuki sold 4,971 Jimnys there from January to August 2026, more than twice the Swift total and nearly five times Fronx sales, which stood at 1,032.
