Suzuki Australia has opened orders for 300 more Jimny Heritage three-doors, numbered 301 to 600, at A$42,490 drive-away — and for the first time the Heritage is an automatic only. Its general manager told CarExpert these will be the last three-door Heritage cars sold in Australia. For an Australian who wants one, the window is short. For a buyer anywhere else, the Heritage is a sticker pack on a car you can source more cheaply elsewhere.
The short version
- 300 cars, numbered 301 to 600, three-door, four-speed automatic only (CarExpert, 3 October 2026).
- A$42,490 drive-away, A$1,500 more than the standard Jimny automatic. Jungle Green or Medium Grey add A$745.
- No drivetrain changes reported: the 1.5-litre petrol at 75kW and 130Nm, part-time four-wheel drive with low range.
- At the European Central Bank’s 14 October 2026 reference rates, A$42,490 is about £22,450, €26,600 or NZ$53,050.
- Outside Australia, a standard Japanese-market Jimny Sierra automatic gives you the same kind of car without the premium for graphics and a numbered badge.
What Suzuki Australia confirmed
CarExpert reported the run on 3 October 2026, and Chasing Cars and The Beep carried the same core figures: 300 cars, automatic only, A$42,490 drive-away. Suzuki Australia’s general manager, Michael Pachota, told CarExpert the cars “will be the final Jimny three-door Heritage limited edition models sold in Australia”. The first Heritage run, in 2023, was 300 manuals. A five-door Heritage followed in 2024, also manual.
On the record
- 300 cars, numbered 301 to 600, three-door, automatic only.
- A$42,490 drive-away; Jungle Green and Medium Grey cost A$745.
- Orders are open through participating Suzuki Australia dealers.
Still not established
- How fast the 2023 manual run sold. Chasing Cars gives five hours in its standfirst and “a day” in its body.
- Delivery dates. None of the three reports gives one.
- Whether the Heritage will be offered in any other country.

Sources: CarExpert (3 October 2026) and Chasing Cars. The standard price is derived from the A$1,500 premium both report.
The premium is 3.7% over the standard automatic. What it buys is appearance and provenance, not capability: the reports list no change to the engine, gearbox, suspension or four-wheel-drive system.
Can you buy or import one?
In Australia, yes: through a participating dealer, while the 300 last. Outside Australia, not directly — the run is sold through Suzuki Australia’s network to Australian buyers, so an export would in practice be a car that has already been registered there.
It is right-hand drive, so it would suit the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and every other left-traffic market. The rules there are the same as for any Jimny of this generation. In the UK it would need an Individual Vehicle Approval, because the generation is under ten years old.
What it costs in your money
The price is set in Australian dollars, so for a reader outside Australia it moves with the exchange rate. At the European Central Bank’s reference rates for 14 October 2026 (EUR/AUD 1.5971, EUR/GBP 0.84385, EUR/NZD 1.9941), A$42,490 converts to about £22,450, €26,600 or NZ$53,050. We do not forecast where the Australian dollar goes next; a weaker Australian dollar would make the car cheaper in your currency, a stronger one dearer.
A drive-away price includes Australian on-road costs, so it is not an export price. And the duty can go against you. The Jimny three-door is built in Japan, so it does not originate in Australia under the UK–Australia agreement; and a car registered and driven in Australia has not met the UK–Japan agreement’s condition that goods passing through a third country stay under customs supervision there. For a UK buyer, the prudent duty figure is the 10% third-country rate, then 20% import VAT on top.
Should you move now or wait?
- In Australia, wanting a Heritage: move now. It is the last three-door run Suzuki Australia says it will offer, and the first sold out quickly.
- Outside Australia: do not chase this car. Its mechanical specification is the standard 1.5-litre automatic. A Japanese-market Jimny Sierra with the four-speed automatic is the same kind of car, sold new in Japan from ¥2,271,500 including consumption tax (Suzuki, checked 15 October 2026), and a used one comes with an auction grade and recorded mileage.
If that is the car you want, you can import Japanese cars with the grade and the landed figure in front of you before you commit. Our guide to importing a Suzuki Jimny from Japan explains the difference between the kei Jimny and the Sierra.
Who benefits from a limited edition?
A numbered run sells urgency, and urgency is good for whoever is selling. Suzuki Australia sells 300 cars at a premium; dealers sell them quickly. Whether a Heritage holds more value than a standard Jimny over time is not something any of the reports evidences, and we would not buy one on that assumption. Buy it if you want the stripes and the badge. Do not buy it as a better Jimny, because it is the same one.
Prices are as reported by CarExpert and Chasing Cars in October 2026 and converted at the European Central Bank’s reference rates for 14 October 2026. Duty, VAT and approval rules depend on your country; confirm them with the relevant authority before committing.
