The ground clearance compared to other Suzuki models
Now, comparing the Jimny to its Suzuki siblings is like comparing a mountain goat to a bunch of sheep. The Swift might be nimble, but with just 115 mm, it’s practically hugging the road. The Vitara? At 185 mm, it’s better but still doesn’t quite match the Jimny’s altitude. The Across and Ignis are both sidling up closer with 180 mm, but it’s still the Jimny towering over the others at 205 mm. Even the S-Cross and its 175 mm clearance can’t quite stare it in the eye, making the Jimny the lofty champion of the Suzuki lineup.

How does the ground clearance of the Suzuki Jimny compare to it's nearest competitors?
But what about the competition? The Renault Kangoo, for instance, dares to aim higher with a 215 mm clearance. In comparison, the Jimny looks almost grounded. Then there's the Jeep Wrangler towering with 224 mm, practically making the Jimny eat its dust. The Fiat Panda, with a modest 165 mm, is skirting around much lower down. Meanwhile, cars like the Ford Transit Courier at 179 mm and the Ford EcoSport at 190 mm still keep their feet firmly lower than the Jimny. A notable nod to the Lada Urban with its respectable 220 mm, narrowly outstripping the Jimny. In the grand theatre of off-roaders, the Jimny middleweights lie somewhere delightfully in between, not the highest but certainly not the lowest.
