- Suzuki updated the five-door Jimny Nomade with safety upgrades.
- The model now includes modern ADAS and an optional 9-inch display.
- The 1.5-liter engine and ladder-frame chassis remain unchanged.
A few months after Suzuki rolled out updated versions of the Jimny and Jimny Sierra in Japan, the company has now extended similar upgrades to the five-door Jimny Nomade. The model has already been a strong seller in its home market since its 2025 debut, and this refresh builds on that momentum with a handful of functional tweaks.

The Jimny Nomade’s exterior carries over with minimal changes, though a new sensor has been added just above the front bumper intake. The 3,890 mm-long SUV (153.1 inches) also introduces a Granite Gray Metallic paint option, bringing the total color choices to seven.
Want to dress it up further? Suzuki continues to offer a range of factory accessories, and there’s no shortage of aftermarket options from Japan’s ever-inventive tuning scene.
A Cabin With a Smarter Screen
Step inside, and the most prominent update is the optional 9-inch infotainment display. It brings smartphone integration, built-in navigation, and a rearview camera to the table. Complementing it is a standard 4.2-inch color multi-information display nestled between the analog gauges, providing at-a-glance vehicle data.

Suzuki has also tweaked the interior in smaller ways that still count. LED interior lighting now comes standard, and the steering wheel gains audio and phone controls. Furthermore, a USB port with a shutter has been added to the front tray.
Same Power, New Tech
Underneath, the mechanical package remains untouched. The Jimny Nomade continues with its naturally aspirated 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 101 hp (75 kW / 102 PS) and 130 Nm (96 lb-ft) of torque. As before, power is sent to all four wheels via either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.
The ADAS kit has been enhanced with the adoption of Dual Sensor Brake Support II, low-speed brake support, lane departure notification and prevention, and an expanded sign recognition function. More importantly, automatic vehicles are fitted with adaptive cruise control, and all models come standard with front and rear parking sensors.
How Much Does It Cost?
The updated Jimny Nomade starts at ¥2,926,000 (around $19,000), regardless of whether you go for the manual or automatic. That’s an increase of ¥275,000 ($1,800) for the manual and ¥176,000 ($1,100) for the automatic over the outgoing version.
Optional extras include the upgraded touchscreen for ¥128,700 ($830), a bi-tone paint option at ¥55,000 ($350), and a Craggy Style accessory package that adds ¥404,030 ($2,600) to the tally.
Still Selling Faster Than They Can Build It
Due to high demand, those who will place an order between January 30 and February 28 will take part in a lottery, with regular orders opening on March 1. Production is scheduled to start in July, as Suzuki needs time to satisfy the existing order backlog for the outgoing Jimny Nomade.

It’s worth noting the five-door Jimny Nomade is imported into Japan from Suzuki’s Gurugram facility in India. With this update now in place, similar changes are likely to follow in other markets, including India and Australia.
