The all-new Suzuki Jimny has just been spotted with no camo. Iit doesn’t feel alone either, because there are
quite a few examples sitting together behind Suzuki’s factory, finished in a
variety of shades, looking ready to be shipped to dealers all over the world.
What these images tell us is that we’ll probably see
it a lot sooner than initially expected, with a world debut to follow at the
Tokyo Motor Show in October. Sales will commence before the end of the year,
while by the first quarter of 2019, it should be available in different markets
worldwide.
Beneath its boxy design lies a traditional
ladder-on-frame chassis, which along with an all-wheel drive system, will make
it a pretty capable small off-roader, going where no Nissan Juke would ever
dare to go.
Power is expected to come from a base 1.2 liter
naturally aspirated gasoline engine with a 1.0-liter turbocharged ‘Boosterjet’
three-cylinder believed to be a step up in some markets
