Elevate your Suzuki Jimny with a Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series style body kit

The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series is one of the enduring vehicles from the 1980s that continues to be produced today.

The reason is simple: even in its standard specifications, it is tough and capable of conquering any terrain.

While there are not many places left on Earth that still offer the Land Cruiser 70 Series, if you are looking for something similar, this is your answer.

The 70YO.70 body kit, developed by Japanese experts Jimmy Land in collaboration with tuning garage Ill, brings a mini version of the Land Cruiser 70 Series.

 

A Mini Version of the Land Cruiser 70 Series

Unlike the typical body kits seen for the Jimny, this modification styled after the 70 Series is much more comprehensive, particularly at the front.

Some notable changes include:

  • A thicker hood structure
  • A 70YO.70 badge that resembles TOYOTA from a distance
  • Round LED headlights
  • Turn signal lights
  • A distinctive grille

 

Additionally, several extra touches have been added to this Jimny to enhance the Land Cruiser 70 Series image, such as:

  • Side air vents
  • Faux grille at the rear
  • Decorative AdBlue cover (even though the Jimny actually still uses a petrol engine!)

Based on the provided images, this body kit also appears to be well-suited for the five-door version of the Jimny.

 

Extra Accessories

In addition to the features mentioned above, Jimny owners can pair the 70YO.70 body kit with off-road accessories.

These options include snorkels, alloy rims fitted with all-terrain tires, and an upgraded suspension system for increased height.

 

Engine Specifications Remain Standard

Despite the Land Cruiser 70 Series styling changes, the Jimny retains its standard 1.5L inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, producing 101 hp.

It definitely lacks the power of the Land Cruiser with its 2.8-liter turbo diesel engine.

Power is transmitted to all wheels through either a manual or automatic transmission, both compatible with a 4WD system.

 

Ready-Made Versions Priced at RM106,000

It has been reported that a few ready-made units have already begun to sell in the Japanese market, available in Sand Beige, White, and Black colors.

The retail price for this particular Beige Jimny is listed at ¥4,250,000 (about RM106,154).

Mitsubishi Delica Mini transformed into a mini Pajero

Kei cars typically feature a cuter design, suited to their small size.

However, leading body kit manufacturer DAMD has come up with an idea to give kei cars a more aggressive, rugged, and stylish appearance.

For instance, the “Dali” body kit (shortened from Dakar Rally) successfully transforms the cute Mitsubishi Delica Mini into a retro machine inspired by the 1980s Pajero model.

If you notice, the new headlights resemble the design of the first-generation Pajero. Additionally, it features a square grille structure, complete with the original Mitsubishi emblem, which also houses various ADAS sensors.

The original front bumper structure of the Delica Mini has been retained, including the “DELICA” lettering and original air intakes, but it has been enhanced with special decorative elements finished in glossy black.

Importantly, all these additions do not compromise the original dimensions of the Delica Mini and still comply with the kei car regulations set by the Japanese government.

DAMD is also offering a custom side decal set, 15-inch Cantabile alloy wheels shod with Toyo Tires Open Country R/T tires, and, of course, a roof rack.

Accessories for the cabin are still in the development phase. The complete package price will be announced later.

This model will be officially showcased at DAMD’s booth at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2026, taking place this month.

Suzuki S-Presso now features a Jimny-inspired body kit

At first glance, the front design resembles that of the Suzuki Jimny, but don’t be fooled by this well-executed work.

This model, which looks like a Jimny, is actually the Suzuki S-Presso, a segment A crossover produced by Maruti Suzuki for markets such as Africa, Southeast Asia, India, and the Middle East.

The body kit, inspired by the off-road SUV Jimny, has been designed by the Indonesian company GH Style.

The most notable changes are at the front, where it features a new structure complete with round headlights, a rectangular grille, and a redesigned bumper that houses the fog lamp housings.

Additionally, the S-Presso is equipped with wider fender flares, followed by a rear spoiler and a redesigned rear bumper.

Lastly, all four corners of the wheel arches are adorned with new white rims.

In terms of power, the Suzuki S-Presso is equipped with a 998 cc three-cylinder inline engine that produces 67 hp and 90 Nm of torque.

While this may seem underpowered, it is more than sufficient to make the 730 kg S-Presso agile on urban roads.
