Into the WILD: 2025 Suzuki Jimny auto 1.5 GLX 5-door driven
When it comes to the 2025 Suzuki Jimny auto 1.5 GLX 5-door, it's safe say any dyed-in-the-wool motoring journalist will love it. And that's not necessarily because of the car. It's more about what the boxy-is-brilliant, cut-price 4×4 represents. You see, journalists love a driving challenge. It's kind how and why we got into this racket. We'll drive any weird, wonderful and downright odd car. That's because we love to find the character beneath the metal and try and understand it for what it truly is. And, right on cue, an acid-green Suzuki Jimny auto 5-door enters the group chat. A car that's so popular, other owners' wave and flash their lights at you constantly. I'll admit, it took a few days to notice this, so apologies if I offended anyone … The Suzuki Jimny 5-door cabin not only benefits from an extended wheelbase, but excellent fit and finish, too. Image: File Nevertheless, there are some issues that cannot go unaddressed in the 2025 Suzuki Jimny auto 5-door. You see, due to the 4-speed automatic gearbox, there are moments where it feels like time stands still. Neigh, time might very well be going backwards when you're behind the wheel. On the highway, the rev counter sits at 3 500 rpm and you're plodding on at barely 110 km/h. Floor the throttle for more oomph or an overtake and an ineloquent gearshift drops you down to third gear. Besides the raucous soundtrack, the spacing between third and fourth is too far apart. And the instant you release pressure from the gas pedal you're back in the no-go zone of fourth. I have to admit the auto is pretty gutless to drive on road. Throw in a slight gradient to the road you're on and the issues only become more pronounced. Worse still, the only manual override options to access power on your terms is second and first gears. As a result, the fuel consumption isn't the greatest when driving on the open road. We couldn't believe how economical the new Suzuki Swift was, for example. However, all that innate potential is lost because of the four-speed auto. Using every trick in the book we finally got down to 8.9 l/100 km, which is some way off the claimed 6.7 l/100 km. Fun fact, the front passenger seat folds fully flat for easy loading of long objects, making the Jimny 5-door surprisingly practical. Image: Ray Leathern Of course, the small Suzi has a celebrated 4×4 heritage. 210 mm ground clearance, excellent approach/departure/ramp-over angles (36, 47 and 24 degrees respectively) and downhill descent control. There's a low-range transfer case and top-notch wheel articulation. Therefore, it's only fair we give the 2025 Suzuki Jimny auto 5-door every chance to show what it's made of. There's a hidden-away trail where we can put it to the test. The route starts easily enough, light climbing on old forestry tracks that crisscross the valley. Forty minutes in and the really rocky section starts. Heavy rains have washed away the sand to reveal the sharp, slippery rocks. Being a great believer of rather do it over than overdo it, I lock the transmission into low range. And the Suzi starts to climb the track like a little mountain goat. Weighing just a smidge over 1 100 kg – which is remarkable for a 4×4 SUV – its compact footprint is ideal for narrow off-road tracks. Wheel placement is a cinch, and often you can simply drive around an obstacle bigger vehicles would have to plough straight over. Moreover, the drivetrain we moaned about on road feels like it's coming good. A compact 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four cylinder delivers 75 kW and 130 Nm of torque. It's in these low-speed ranges that modest power delivery matches throttle input, which allows for precise 4x4ing. Then, on the downhill descent, the mountain goat turns into a tough boerperd . The chassis takes plenty of heavy knocks in its stride with an assured, let's-keep-going attitude. This Suzi loves it when the going gets tough. Image: Ray Leathern After the frustration of its on-tar performance, the 2025 Suzuki Jimny auto 5-door well and truly comes good in the wild. Not one section of the off-road route posed a serious challenge to it. As such, we have nothing but praise for its 4×4 abilities. Because, plainly, the four-speed auto is happiest in lower-speed ranges. Therefore, if you're buying a 2025 Suzuki Jimny auto 5-door specifically for outdoors adventuring, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better car for the price. Luggage wise, the 211-litre boot capacity is up 126 litres over the 3-door. And by folding the rear seats down you all of a sudden gain 1 100 litres of utility space for all your outdoor-adventure needs. Therefore, the 2025 Suzuki Jimny auto 5-door is no conformist. It turns out to be an adventure mobile of note. Just be sure to wave at the others Suzis on your way out of town … 2025 Suzuki Jimny auto 1.5 GLX 5-door Engine: 1 482 cc, 4-cylinder petrol 1 482 cc, 4-cylinder petrol Power: 75 kW and 130 Nm 75 kW and 130 Nm Performance: 0-100 km/h n/a 0-100 km/h n/a Gearbox: 4-speed auto + low-range transfer case 4-speed auto + low-range transfer case Tyres: 195/80 R15 Bridgestone Dueller 195/80 R15 Bridgestone Dueller Economy: 6.7 l/100 km (claimed), 8.9 l/100 km (tested) 6.7 l/100 km (claimed), 8.9 l/100 km (tested) Price: R484 900 Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

After 2021's once-in-50 years flood, Elisha thought her cafe was safe. Two years later, it's partly underwater
Elisha Humphreys spent Saturday cleaning up the cafe that she began operating on the Manning river in 2023 – two years after floods swept through the town of Taree. 'We were told that the 2021 flood was a one-in-50-year event, so we didn't expect this to happen four years later,' she says. But during this week's flooding in New South Wales' mid-north coast, the Boat House cafe in Taree was half-submerged under water. The river rose to an unprecedented 6.5 metres, half a metre above the previous record from nearly 100 years ago. 'It took us two years to build it and just two days to lose it,' she says. Humphreys is among thousands of people in NSW facing what the premier, Chris Minns, has described as a 'mammoth task'. The sun was out on Saturday and the waters have begun to subside but an estimated 10,000 properties may have been damaged, about 50,000 people have been isolated, and five people have died. Locals along the coast are assessing the damage and cleaning up with water still lapping at their feet – and some are still shaking off the shock. Like Humphreys, Taree local Suzi – who did not give her full name – thought flooding as bad as 2021 wouldn't return for another 50 years. She didn't take out extra insurance for the Thai massage parlour she opened after that deluge. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email But this time, 'the water came up so fast, there was nothing we could do. In a matter of 30 minutes, it went from ankle-high to waist-deep,' Suzi says. 'We have lost everything.' The Manning River only fell below flood levels on Saturday afternoon. In Tinonee, inland from Taree, childcare workers and locals have begun demolishing the ruined daycare centre, staff member Karen Sterland says. 'So many houses here have gone completely, or three-quarters under. [Some people] can reach out and touch the water from their second storey in their house,' she says. 'It's absolute devastation.' As the rain bucketed down last week and Kempsey residents evacuated, Pia Kyre stayed home with her 17-year-old son. Days later, they watched as water lapped at their back steps. Bunking down at the nearest evacuation centre would have been difficult for Kyre's son, who lives with disability, and by Thursday it was no longer an option. The roads all around them were submerged and the water was higher than Kyre had ever seen. 'If we were to go to the evacuation centre … and he was dysregulated, we'd probably be asked to leave. It looks like bad behaviour, but the reasoning behind it is very real,' she says. They stayed put but Kyre says she didn't sleep well. 'I was running to check on the water levels all through Wednesday night and Thursday night, because it just came up so fast.' 'In 2022, we had [water] come to the back corner of the property, but never on the property. This was a completely different event.' Although most of her home ended up untouched by floods and the power stayed on the whole time, she felt isolated because of a lack of local support services that understand her son's condition. 'There's no one actively here checking in on us who could help us with that stuff.' She's reached out to other locals with disability to build a support network to check in on each other in future floods. As Tinonee grapples with unpredictable food supply, locals donated the food from their freezers, and the daycare centre and soccer club joined forces to cook all day. 'We're a good little country town where everybody pitches in and helps and we'll get it back,' Sterland says. 'They've all done it before, unfortunately.' With the internet down, Tinonee's firefighters handed food out as they hosed down mud and silt caked on walls and floors. Down the river in Glenthorne, Dave and Tracie Aylward were shocked to see the Manning River rise to 6.5 metres – they lived through the river rising to 5.7m in 1978 and nearly as high in 2021. They were surprised again when an army of volunteers, mostly strangers, showed up in their front yard to help them out. 'We had people we've never come across, strangers to us, but they were happy to come and be told what to do,' their son, Trent, says. 'The community is unbelievable.'
