Suzuki Jimny will be rescued. European sales should be smooth again

Suzuki Jimny is a car that is unparalleled in the European car market. It is a thoroughbred pocket off-road, but on the old continent it is bothered by strict emission limits. But that shouldn’t be a problem in a while.

Current Suzuki Jimny came on the market in 2018, but did not enjoy a long life because it had an atmospheric engine under the hood, whose emissions were too high. The carmaker supplied customers with few pieces to be able to meet fleet emissions, and then the car stopped selling for a while. But in the end, she came up with a handle that would allow her to return to the market.

From an originally personal model Suzuki Jimny makes a utility model, which will have a cargo space instead of the rear seats and the technical card will state that it is a small N1 truck. This is because different standards apply to utility models than to personal models.

However, this is not the only change that the Japanese brand is preparing, the next one, which according to the Austrian magazine motorprofis.at will come in 2024, there will be a facelift. It is mainly to bring a new full hybrid engine. It is supposed to be a four-cylinder 1.5-liter hybrid directly from the Suzuki workshop.

As part of this, the Suzuki Jimny should also get a longer and more practical five-door body. In a recent article, we could already see spy photos of masked prototypes. The question remains whether the longer body will come next year, as some claim, or together with the hybrid in 2024.
