New Suzuki Jimny Production Begins
Suzuki has begun series production of the next-gen Jimny SUV at its Japanese facility ahead of an official unveiling, which is scheduled to take place later this year.
The new SUV has not been softened with a more road-biased look. It actually looks significantly more rugged, with retro styling that shares design cues with its predecessors.
The fourth-generation Jimny is being developed with the feedback of existing Jimny owners in mind, who rank its effective off-road capabilities and robustness more highly than on-road performance. The new model's road handling characteristics have been improved according to our sister publication Autocar UK, however, the vehicle is expected to still stick to its original hardy and rugged nature.
As such, the new Jimny's design reflects its 4x4 status with a simple, box-shaped body. Much of the design appears similar to that found on the Mercedes-Benz G-class such as the squared-off wheel arches and tail-lights located low on the bumper. To top it off, Suzuki is also expected to offer the lime green shade, which was popular with the previous-gen Mercedes- AMG G-class.
