This year’s Essen
Motor Show will feature a mildly customized version of the Suzuki Jimny,
boasting new stainless steel components that are meant to give the three-door
crossover a slightly more rugged off-road appearance.
The components,
specifically the brush guards and rocker panel guards, can be had either with a
matte black coating or a shiny chrome finish. Also available are aluminum
running boards and auxiliary headlamps.
If the customer so
chooses, they can have these components painted in both the color of the
vehicle, as well as a contrasting color. Cobra Technology & Lifestyle
designers actually developed two different brush guards. The base version has a
tube diameter of 60 mm, although you can also opt for a slightly
more elaborate variant with an additional crossbar measuring 42 mm in diameter, offering you extra protection.
Either of the two
protective elements were designed to be mounted elastically and give in during
a collision, resulting in their compliance with EU Directive 2009/78 on
pedestrian protection. Other mods include the previously mentioned auxiliary
headlamps, with special brackets for attachment to the main bar or the
crossbar, but also the rocker panel guards, which feature a tube diameter of 60
mm – available in either matte black or with a chrome finish,
just like the stainless steel running boards. All these products feature a
24-month limited warranty with unlimited miles.
