JB23W Jimny: the short version

JB23W is the third-generation Jimny, launched in 1998 and built in Japan for twenty years. It is the kei-class version: a ladder frame, live axles on coil springs at both ends, part-time four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case and a low range, and the turbocharged 658cc K6A twin-cam. Nothing else sold in the kei class has that drivetrain, which is why the Jimny has a following far outside Japan.

Shown on the clock: 45,981 miles, near enough 74,000 km. Suzuki's F6A and K6A three-cylinders were produced in enormous numbers across the Carry, Every and Jimny ranges, so the model line's service history as a whole is unusually well documented.

In use

Four-wheel drive on a Carry means a selectable front axle on a truck that is otherwise rear-driven from an engine beneath the cab. Suzuki sold more of these than anyone sold of anything else in the class, which matters in a practical way: the running gear is the best-documented and best-supported in the kei segment, and the trucks turn up with the widest range of factory work options.

Mid-band pricing on a kei truck generally reflects a sound, unremarkable specification — the four-wheel-drive, five-speed, flat-bed combination that the majority of buyers are looking for in the first place.
