Suzuki Jimny
The wait is over. After 20 years, Suzuki has finally blessed the local automotive market with a brand-new Jimny, and it’s a monumental step-up from its predecessor.
Visually, it’s a nostalgic return to the boxy, angular LJs and SJs of the 70s and 80s, with plenty of modern improvements. And, before you say what we’re all thinking, Suzuki wants to clear something up – the first LJ preceded the first Gelandewagen by several years... so, in fact, the G-Wagon looks like a Jimny!
Despite first impressions, the new model is actually pretty much the same size as the last one, with the only significant difference being a 40mm-wider track (giving it that tad more stability), and slightly more room in the cabin. A loss of 50mm in length is simply down to a re-designed bumper.
