The frame structure of the car body and short wheelbase provide excellent cross-country ability on difficult rocky areas.

Adjusting the wheel drive and high ground clearance are obvious advantages of this model. SUZUKI JIMNY has a fairly simple saloon and is deprived of many options for more respectable SUVs, but in its patency is not at all inferior to them.
