Not long after spies snapped the 2019 Suzuki
Jimny in the midst of testing, images of the redesigned SUV have emerged
following a company presentation detailing its product roadmap.
As we long suspected, the new Jimny
hasn't totally sacrificed its iconic design and still remains identifiable.
What that means is that the SUV maintains its small proportions and its front
end continues to be dominated by a slim, horizontal grille and a set of simple
headlights, now round rather than the square shape of the original.
The interior of the new Jimny also has a very boxy
design reminiscent of the old car but there are some changes, most notably a
large touchscreen infotainment screen and a redesigned steering wheel.
Our sources suggest that the 2019 Jimny will use a
ladder frame and the firm's AllGrip Pro all-wheel drive system. Engines remain
unknown at this stage but the 110 hp, 1.0-liter engine of the Baleno is
expected. Expect to see the 2019 Suzuki Jimny premiere at the 2017 Tokyo Motor
Show.
