Pocket rocket to land locally by years end, but what about the stockman?
SUZUKI’S Australian arm has confirmed the diminutive 4x4 will be arriving here at year’s end and will be on sale in January.
“The Jimny is synonymous with the Suzuki brand, and to have an all-new model on its way is something worth talking about,” Suzuki Australia general manager, Michael Pachota, said. “The Australian landscape will be a true test for the iconic 4WD and I have no doubt it will rise to the challenge.”
The boxy fourth-generation Jimny retains its ladder-frame chassis, live front and rear axles, and dual-range transmission (activated by a proper lever no less!), but has been modernised with improved safety and specification. The chassis has been stiffened for improved dynamics, and tech such as dual front, side and curtain airbags, dual-sensor brake support and Electronic Stability Control, have all been added. There’s even a large multimedia screen in the dash, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
