The Jimny family · Japan → Jersey

A little legend.
Three ways.

The Jimny deserves a place on an island shortlist. Japan’s range spans the narrow 660cc kei model, the 1.5-litre three-door Sierra and the five-door Nomade. The right choice depends on passengers, parking and how you use it.

Guide prices use the age and specification shown in the price guide; they are not new-car list prices. All three have part-time 4WD with low-range gearing. The Nomade adds rear doors and wheelbase length; it still has four seats. For everyday road use, compare a Jimny with a hatchback or road-focused SUV for comfort, luggage space and running costs.

A wider Japanese choice

More ways
to fit island life.

Kei vehicles are a great starting point for Jersey. When you need more seats, a different driving feel or a hybrid, the Japanese market offers plenty of other compact options.

Published Japanese-market length × body width for the examples described. Fit dimensions refer to a standard-body version. Dimensions, powertrains and seating vary by year and grade; mirrors, accessories and the rear spare wheel also matter when checking a vehicle’s fit. Follow each model for specification sources.

NEW

Your specification.

Explore new vehicles around the model, grade and options you want. Supply, export availability and lead time are confirmed with the sourcing proposal.

USED

The right individual car.

Set an age, mileage and condition brief. We review the candidate’s details and history, then discuss inspection, preparation and the route to Jersey.

YOUR BRIEF

Have something else in mind?

Cars, 4×4s, estates, larger people carriers, performance models or commercial vehicles. The shortlist starts with you.

Before you ask

Good questions.

Can you source a model that isn’t listed?+

Yes. We source across the wider Japanese market, including new and used cars, 4×4s and commercial vehicles. Tell us the make and model—or simply what you need from it—and we’ll investigate available vehicles and their suitability for Jersey.

Will it be registered in Jersey?+

That is the aim of the end-to-end service. Every vehicle is different, so registration requirements and any necessary preparation are confirmed against the exact model before purchase.

How much will it cost?+

Explore our all-in guide ranges for a starting budget. We then quote one inclusive price for the selected vehicle, covering sourcing, import, routine preparation and Jersey registration. Specification, duties and exchange rates affect the final figure.

Do you hold vehicles in stock?+

We source new and used vehicles to order. The collection shows representative models rather than stock held by VIR.JE. Tell us what you need and we’ll discuss suitable vehicles and availability.
