If the three-door Jimny is not suitable there are limited options for small 4x4s that would be suitable for serious off-road work.

The most obvious option would be the Dacia Duster 4x4, which is one of the cheapest on the market. It has selectable four-wheel-drive and a hardy interior, and with a good set of off-road tyres it will go a long way off-road.

If you need something with more ground clearance you might have to look at something a little larger, such as the Jeep Renegade or Wrangler.
