Behold: The Suzuki Jimny Sierra Pickup Style And Survive Concepts
I want a Suzuki Jimny. You want a Suzuki Jimny. Demand in the UK is far outstripping supply, so it seems Joe Public wants one too.
You get the idea: much of the world is already lusting after this rugged box of off-road mastery, so the last thing Suzuki really needs to do right now is stoke those flames of burning Jimny desire. And yet it has.
The Japanese company has whipped up these two Jimny variants for the incoming Tokyo Auto Salon, and we’d rather like one of each.
First off, we have the Jimny Sierra Pickup Style, which has - as you’d probably guess from the name - had the rear seats and part of the roof ditched and swapped for load bay. You’re not going to get much stuff in there, but who cares when this adorable pick-up looks so damn good?
Its delightful chrome/cream two-tone wheels are shod in chunky off-road tyres, while at the front, you’ll find a sturdier lower bumper section complete with meaty tow-hooks and a retro-style Suzuki grille. The finishing touch is some wood veneer panelling, which would look terrible on anything else. Somehow, it works nicely here.
Concept number two is the ‘Survive’, which is how a Jimny might look if it was owned by Rick Grimes. Here, we have even chunkier tyres, a protective frame around the glasshouse, rugged underbody cladding and a winch.
Suzuki hasn’t yet said if it intends to make either of these, but given the choice, which would you have?
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
Comments
Ever since they stopped making the Defender, everyone wants a small simple boxy boi. That may be part of the reason for the Jimny’s success.
I would love to have the jimny pickup but in super basic with black bumpers and in white with the offroad stuff from the survive
I prefer the miniature pick up. It looks far more unique and less like a ‘builders 4x4’ and more special.
Oh my goodness look at that lovely little pickup!
It’s basically a tiny FJ40, and at the rate the market is going it’d hardly be surprising to see it cost less
That pickup looks an awful lot like an older gen Hilux… First Jimny I’ve actually liked!

Thanks sir!!
“You want a Jimny”
No, I want a Niva, you can keep the Jimny with its 1.5 and 0.6 liter engines.
Niva has the same or even better offroad capability, is simpler and has a 1.7-1.8L engine that’s better low down where it’s needed when offroading.
U know a niva got awesome capabilities, but didn’t was designed for serious offroading? And having both n/a engines jimny got 22hp more?
Good thing is…. u can buy a niva marsh in a russian dealer….
A survivor for me please, but in sierra model, not kei car please
I mean I get it; people like the Jimny, but how come no one cares about the exceedingly average if not bad safety ratings
Considering that the Jeep Wrangler managed to get a grand total of 1, I’d say the Jimny did pretty well. I think the jimny doesn’t have lane assist or any sort of automation.
