- The five-door Jimny gets a new bodykit from Japanese tuner Cal’s Motors.
- Its redesigned front features chrome-plated bumpers and classic retro wheels.
- The visual upgrades give the Suzuki a distinctly American off-road look.
It seems like every time we blink, a new bodykit for the Suzuki Jimny surfaces, and somehow, each one manages to bring something fresh to the table. The latest comes from Cal’s Motors, a sub-brand of Japanese tuner Alpine Style, which has turned the compact off-roader into a retro adventure machine inspired by classic American SUVs.

This version, called the Beas+ L, is built on the five-door Jimny sold in Japan under the Nomade name. It follows in the footsteps of the existing Beas and Beas+ kits for the three-door Jimny and Jimny Sierra, extending the same vintage-inspired styling to a roomier and more practical platform.
Vintage-Inspired Details, Front to Back
The highlight is the redesigned chrome grille, which houses rectangular LED headlights with separate indicators. The Chevy K5 Blazer-inspired nose is combined with a matching chrome bumper and repositioned fog lights. The Suzuki emblem is gone, replaced by Cal’s Motors lettering on the hood.
At the rear, the treatment is flipped. Instead of the stock Jimny’s rectangular taillights, round LED units take their place, mounted in a custom chrome-plated bumper. Optional upgrades include a set of Moon Chrome wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, along with a refreshed spare tire cover on the tailgate.
While the show car is painted in Orca Black Pearl 2, more color options are expected to become available. Interior upgrades are also on offer, such as leather-style seat covers, floor mats with Cal’s Motors branding, a 7-inch Alpine touchscreen for media and navigation, improved audio hardware, and a digital rearview mirror.

Mechanically, the SUV remains unchanged. That said, a suspension lift kit is available, improving both ground clearance and visual presence. The Jimny’s naturally aspirated 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine makes 103 hp (77 kW / 105 PS) and 134 Nm (99 lb-ft) of torque. It can be paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic gearbox. While it doesn’t have the growl of a big American V8, it does channel power to all four wheels through a capable 4WD system.
How Much Does it Cost?
A fully converted Beas+ L starts at ¥3,740,000 (about $25,200), compared to the standard Jimny Nomade’s base price of ¥2,651,000 ($17,900). The catch is that securing a donor vehicle isn’t exactly straightforward, as demand for the Jimny still outpaces supply in Japan.
For those open to a smaller model, the three-door Beas+ offers a similar aesthetic starting from ¥3,080,000 ($20,700).
