About this vehicle
Get ready to meet the most capable kei vehicle ever to roll off a Japanese assembly line – this 1998 Suzuki Jimny Land Venture is a genuine JDM special edition 4WD that’s now fully legal for US roads under the 25-year import rule. Built on the legendary JA22W platform, this isn’t your average mini truck – it’s a purpose-built off-road machine powered by Suzuki’s turbocharged and intercooled K6A DOHC three-cylinder engine, producing 64 horsepower through an automatic transmission and a selectable 4WD system with hi/lo transfer case. Whether you’re crawling rocky desert trails outside Tucson or navigating tight mountain switchbacks, the Jimny’s compact dimensions, generous ground clearance, and robust ladder-frame chassis make it a go-anywhere companion that full-size SUVs can only dream of matching in tight terrain.
This particular example is the coveted Land Venture special edition – Suzuki’s top-tier adventure trim that came loaded with exclusive features from the factory. The Land Venture package added halogen fog lights, body-colored bumpers, 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels, an aluminum roof carrier, a roof-end spoiler, a rear-mounted spare tire with cover, and the standout feature: a dashboard-mounted multi-meter with built-in compass, barometric pressure gauge, and altimeter – a genuine adventure instrument cluster that proves this Jimny was built for exploration. With 77,000 km (approximately 47,850 miles) on the odometer, the automatic transmission makes this an incredibly accessible entry point into the Jimny world, especially for those who want effortless trail driving without worrying about clutch work on steep grades. VIN JA22W-161155 confirms this is the real deal – an authentic K6A-powered JA22W Land Venture with the full factory adventure package.
The Suzuki Jimny has earned a worldwide cult following that borders on fanatical – and for good reason. These little 4x4s have conquered the Dakar Rally support stages, served as mountain rescue vehicles across Japan and Europe, and built a reputation for bulletproof reliability that rivals anything in the off-road world. The JA22W generation represents the sweet spot of analog simplicity and modern refinement, with its turbocharged power, coil-spring suspension, and electric power steering delivering a driving experience that feels both rugged and refined. Finding a Land Venture edition stateside – with the automatic transmission, the adventure multi-meter, and the full factory trim package – is exceptionally rare. This Jimny is perfect for trail riding, ranch property access, hunting camp duty, or simply owning one of the most iconic and sought-after kei vehicles ever made.
