According to the ATPM from Suzuki, this car received a positive response and many consumers have ordered this car. However, how about the price?

Harold Donnel, as the 4W Marketing Director of PT SIS, said that this model will use the single price policy' system, so the price will not change like the three-door version.

"Later there will be a single price policy, different from the 3-door because the composition of demand and supply is not very balanced when launching 2019," said Donnel, when met by the media at Midaz Senayan Golf, Jakarta, Tuesday, January 23.

While they don't want to put forward the estimated price of the model, Harold ensures that the 5-doors will have competitive prices so they can compete in the segment.

"What is certain is that for our price will be officially released, we will set competitive prices for these 5-doors, we will make sure to use the fixed price in the Jabodetabek area," added Donnel.

In design, this car has a longer dimension than the Jimny 3-door model. But it also doesn't look much different from the front, front and rear spots, engine hoods, windshields and wheel arch extensions also appear to be identical to the three-door model. The difference is seen in the stern bodywork of the back door.
