After some spy pics showing us the elongated Suzuki Jimny during its pre-production tests, we may now find out more about it thanks to unofficial reports. It is reported that the new Jimny Long will be approximately 35 cm longer than the standard SUV, with 30 cm of added wheelbase. This would result in a car 3.9 meters long with 2.55 meters between the axles.
A 1.5-liter turbocharged engine will
allegedly go under the hood, producing around 150 PS in
tandem with a starter-generator. The regular Jimny makes do with a naturally
aspirated mill capable of 102 PS in conjunction with a
five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.
Prices in Japan should start at around
300,000 Yen above the standard Jimny’s 1,793,000 Yen.
