The extensive project was unveiled in April, boasting one of the most comprehensive tuning packages available for the Suzuki Jimny. Twisted Automotive has now completed the first model, showcasing the remarkable enhancements that turn the humble SUV into a genuinely high-end offering.
At the core of the modifications are the captivating interior enhancements that take center stage. Twisted has meticulously enveloped every surface with duo-tone leather, including the exquisite quilted seats, dashboard, door cards, steering wheel, floor mats, and gearshift levers. This transformation effectively replaces the original model's inferior, scratchy plastics with a luxurious tactile experience. While the European and UK-spec Jimny is exclusively available as a two-seater LCV, Twisted can accommodate requests to remove the standard bulkhead and add a leather-wrapped rear bench.
Noteworthy improvements extend beyond aesthetics. The dials and A/C rings now boast a soft-touch feel with added padding, creating a more refined atmosphere. For those seeking the pinnacle of luxury, the headlining can be upgraded to premium Alcantara. Additionally, the factory Suzuki infotainment system has been replaced with an Alpine aftermarket unit, equipped with Apple CarPlay, Navigation, and DAB capabilities. As a testament to their commitment to audio excellence, Twisted has collaborated with a dedicated audio engineer to develop a premium sound system that will please even the most discerning audiophiles.

Ensuring a serene ride, Twisted has incorporated soundproofing materials into the lower portion of the cabin. The level of sound insulation can be further tailored according to the owner's preferences, creating an environment of tranquility. Furthermore, the handling package includes new gas shock absorbers and a rear anti-roll bar, effectively improving the ride quality. For those seeking enhanced off-road capabilities, Twisted offers an optional 1-inch (25 mm) lift kit for the suspension, visibly raising the vehicle's stature.
Complementing the refined interior, Twisted's Jimny boasts subtle yet distinctive exterior upgrades that contribute to its upscale appearance. The standard BF Goodrich all-terrain tires, wrapped around 16-inch black-painted alloy wheels, provide enhanced grip, ensuring confident off-road performance.

While the lower portion of the bodywork retains its unpainted plastic finish, the grille and mirror caps have been painted to seamlessly match the rest of the vehicle's bodywork. Customers have the option to choose a new exterior shade, including an optional satin finish, which can be paired with mountain decals on the sides, proudly displaying the Jimny's adventurous spirit. Adding to its allure are the smoked LED headlights and taillights, exuding an air of sophistication. Adventure enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of off-road essentials such as the roof rack with an integrated light bar, a tow bar, an adventure bumper featuring a warn winch, and additional underbody protection.
To meet the demands of spirited driving, Twisted offers a Stage 1 upgrade for the Jimny's 1.5-liter petrol engine. The addition of a turbocharger elevates the power output from the stock 103 horsepower (77 kW / 105 PS) to a robust 165 horsepower (123 kW / 167 PS), providing a substantial increase in performance. This power upgrade ensures that the Twisted Suzuki Jimny delivers an exhilarating driving experience both on and off the road.
The Twisted Suzuki Jimny starts at a base price of £49,500 ($61,450) before taxes. The company plans to commence production of customer vehicles in October and is already accepting orders. Twisted has secured a number of delivery mileage pre-registered Jimny vehicles, ready to be transformed. Additionally, existing Suzuki Jimny owners will also have the opportunity to upgrade their vehicles through a conversion kit, enabling them to enjoy the remarkable enhancements provided by Twisted Automotive.
