  • Robust and simple

    The Jimny has a relatively simple mechanical design. This makes it very reliable and easy to maintain, which is particularly important in hunting applications.

  • Good overview of the area

    The high seating position and the steep windscreens allow for very good all-round visibility, e.g. when retrieving game or driving on roads with poor visibility.
