Suzuki’s latest Jimny Heritage Edition is now available for pre-order, with only 300 units of the 2026 model up for grabs. The Superior White version starts at $42,490 drive-away, while Medium Grey and Jungle Green metallic options begin at $43,235. Notably, this edition is offered exclusively with an automatic transmission, a first for the Heritage line.
Why the manual transmission matters
For enthusiasts who value the Jimny’s boxy design, cult status, or manual transmission, buying used could save thousands. A recent search on Drive Marketplace revealed 64 used Jimnys, nearly half priced under $40,000 drive-away. One 2023 Heritage Edition in Medium Grey, nearly identical to the new model, was listed for $32,870—about $10,000 less than the 2026 version. The used market offers a variety of models, including the 2026 Suzuki Jimny XL 1.5L SUV 4XD for $39,985 drive-away, the 2025 Suzuki Jimny XL 1.5L SUV 4XD Manual for $36,987 drive-away, and the 2024 Suzuki Jimny GLX 1.5L SUV 4XD Manual for $29,990 drive-away, catering to different budgets and preferences.
Data from the Australian Automotive Dealership Association’s AutoGrab shows that used Jimnys often retain or exceed their original value. Of the 151 sold so far in 2026, 60% went for at least 90% of their original price, and 43% sold for more than their new price. For 2-4-year-old Jimnys, the average retained value is 108%.
