Suzuki Jimny Shinsei Limited Edition
The Suzuki Jimny Shinsei Limited Edition has been
launched in Italy, and is restricted to only 100 units. ‘Shinsei’, which in
Japanese means ‘sacred’, refers to the color inspiration which dates back to
the Suzuki LJ20 introduced in 1972.
The exterior is painted in the “Dark Yellow 70’s”
color which was available on the LJ20, and white contrast skid plate and wing
mirrors complement the theme. A Webasto-made fabric roof is also seen on the
Suzuki Jimny Shinsei edition.
Inside, the Suzuki Jimny Shinsei edition gets a leather
steering wheel, a tire pressure monitoring system, leather-lined seats ‘Jimny’
logo, a 6.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with radio, CD, navigation
system with 3D maps and Bluetooth connectivity, USB and MirrorLink
connectivity.
The Suzuki Jimny Shinsei edition is priced at 23,000
EUR. It continues to be powered by the M13A 1.3-liter VVT
four-cylinder petrol engine capable of 85 hp and 110 Nm of torque paired to a
5-speed manual transmission and 4WD system.
The Suzuki Jimny, which is now 18 years old in the
current generation, is expected to get a successor in the next couple of years.
