Suzuki Jimny Rental in Saudi Arabia: The Small 4x4 for Desert Adventures

The Suzuki Jimny looks like a toy and drives like a mountain goat. It is short, light and has real four-wheel drive, so it goes where many bigger SUVs hesitate. For two or three people who want the desert, it is one of the most fun cars you can rent.

What the Jimny does well

• Sand and rough tracks: low weight and a short body help it climb and turn on soft ground.
• Narrow paths: it fits through tight spots between rocks and trees.
• City parking: at under four metres long, it parks almost anywhere.
• Character: the classic boxy look makes every trip feel like an adventure.

Where it falls short

• Space: four seats, but luggage room behind the rear seats is small. Fold them down for a two-person camping trip.
• Highway comfort: it is noisier and less relaxed at 120 km/h than a sedan or a big SUV.
• Families: for four adults with bags, choose the Toyota Land Cruiser or Chevrolet Tahoe instead.

Drive it the right way

• Lower tyre pressure for soft sand and pump it back up before the highway.
• Engage four-wheel drive before you need it, not when you are already stuck.
• Go with another car on serious dune trips, and carry water and a shovel.
• Stay off plants and protected meadows.
