While the 3-door version of the Jimny sold in Japan measures 3,395 millimeters (133.7 inches) in length, the global 3-Door model is longer at 3,645 mm (143.5 in). The 5-Door model is even larger, measuring 3,985 mm (157 in) in length and 2,590 mm (102 in) in wheelbase, making it 340 mm (13.3 in) longer than the 3-Door variant. The vehicle also stands 1,645 mm (64.8 in) wide and 1,720 mm (67.7 in) tall.
The new model maintains the rugged and boxy styling of its predecessor, featuring a black roof to complement the Kinetic Yellow main color. Other familiar design elements include flared wheel arches, round headlights, a slatted front grille, exposed rear hinges, and off-road tires. It sits on 15-inch wheels with 195/80 rubber and has a rear-mounted spare wheel with a black cover.
Inside, the cabin has been largely carried over from the standard Jimny, complete with a grab handle on the passenger side of the dashboard and faux exposed bolts. The Indian-spec model also has a rear bench that can seat up to three passengers, offering 208 liters (7.3 cubic feet) of cargo space with the rear seats up and expandable to 332 liters (11.7 cubic feet) when folded down.
