With the Jimny, proportions based on a long wheelbase and wide treads are combined with big bumpers and big side splash guards for a look of stability and untamed toughness. Plus, simple body contours convey a sense of solidity.

A boxy overall shape gives the Jimny a look of serious functionality, but round multireflector headlamps and a vertical-slit grille mean that it also has a distinctive cuteness.
