Long celebrated for its unmistakable boxy design, compact agility, and genuine off-road toughness, the Jimny 3-Door now adds intelligent safety to its list of strengths. This latest upgrade makes the beloved 4x4 not just trail-ready, but even more reassuring for everyday drives.
The 2026 Jimny 3-Door now comes equipped with Suzuki Safety Support, bringing advanced driver-assist technology to one of the most iconic and capable 4x4 vehicles in its class.
New safety features
Suzuki Safety Support is a suite of preventive safety technologies designed to help avoid collisions and reduce driver fatigue. The system includes Dual Sensor Brake Support II (DSBS II), which uses a camera and laser sensor to detect vehicles or pedestrians ahead. When a potential collision is detected, the system issues audio and visual warnings and can automatically apply the brakes if necessary. However it is important to note that DSBS II is limited to the ability of the monocular camera and millimeter-wave radar sensors to detect obstacles and lanes. Suzuki wants to remind drivers not to rely on this system alone and always practice safe driving habits.
Available in all new Jimny 3-Door variants, Adaptive Cruise Control uses radar and a camera to maintain a preset speed while intelligently adjusting acceleration and braking based on traffic conditions ahead.
Further enhancing confidence behind the wheel, Lane Departure Prevention provides subtle steering assistance when the vehicle begins drifting outside its lane, while Lane Departure Warning alerts the driver through audio, visual cues, and steering feedback. The Weaving Alert function monitors driving patterns and issues a buzzer-like sound and dashboard warning if unusual drifting is detected. Meanwhile, High Beam Assist improves nighttime visibility by automatically switching between high and low beams depending on surrounding traffic and lighting conditions, activating at speeds of 30 km/h and above when the headlamp switch is set to auto.
Other enhancements
Beyond safety, the Jimny 3-Door also receives practical interior and convenience enhancements. GLX variants now feature a new nine-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a newly updated colored display in the information gauge cluster. Both GL and GLX variants now benefit from the addition of front side airbags and curtain airbags, further improving occupant protection in the event of a collision. Front parking sensors are now standard across the range, making maneuvering in tight spaces easier, while the GL variant also gains a reverse camera for added convenience and visibility when backing up.
Under the hood, the Jimny retains its proven 1.5-liter gasoline engine producing 102-PS and 130-Nm of torque, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. Its legendary 4x4 AllGrip Pro drivetrain continues to deliver authentic off-road capability, allowing drivers to switch between 2WD mode for smooth and fuel-efficient paved driving, 4WD High for added traction on gravel or dirt roads, and 4WD Low for maximum torque when conquering sand, mud, or steep rocky terrain.
With the integration of Suzuki Safety Support and meaningful comfort upgrades, the 2026 Jimny 3-Door evolves into an even more well-rounded adventure companion. The 2026 Jimny 3-Door with Suzuki Safety Support is available in the following variants: the GL MT SS at ₱1,293,000, the GLX AT SS at ₱1,355,000, and the GLX AT Two-Tone SS at ₱1,365,000.
