It's hard not to love the new Suzuki Jimny's
charming, boxy shape. The little off-roader just looks eager to take you
anywhere. But what if you require more room or need to carry taller loads. For
the moment, these customers are out of luck, but X-Tomi Design has renderings
of what such versions would look like.
The Jimny is currently only available as a two-door
SUV. While it looks great, an extra set of doors would be more convenient for
anyone that often has occupants in the back seat. This four-door rendering also
extends the Suzuki, which would come with extra advantages like being able to
carry more cargo when the rear bench is empty.
The larger size might require a powertrain update. The new Jimny is available with either a 660-cc engine or a 1.0-liter
powerplant in Japan. They might not offer adequate muscle for carrying four
people and their cargo.
For a more utilitarian machine, X-Tomi Design also
imagines what a Jimny pickup truck would look like. The styling features a
single cab layout that would limit passenger capacity but allow for a larger
bed for hauling more cargo. Previously, X-Tomi Design also rendered a soft-top
Jimny that looked perfect for open-air motoring.
There have been soft-top and pickup variants of the
Jimny in the past, but spy shots haven't yet revealed new ones on the way. With
the previous generation of the little SUV lasting 20 years, Suzuki has plenty
of time to come up with different versions of the new one.
