<\/p>\nSuzuki’s compact Jimny has become a beloved staple in the 4×4 market, particularly in South Africa, but the pint-sized offroader is going through a major overhaul for its next iteration, and one which will catch the eyes of many.<\/p>\n
Set for release in the last quarter of 2018, the all-new Suzuki Jimny will feature a more contemporary look rather than it’s traditional ‘boxy’ design. There\u2019s a little bit of Hummer in the grill, elements of Toyota\u2019s FJ Cruiser in its bonnet shape, and the overall lines of the body are strongly reminiscent of Jeep\u2019s Wrangler.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A new engine is expected to make an appearance, too; a 1.5 litre that will produce 75kW and 130Nm of torque \u2013 paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox. A part-time 4-wheel drive system will also be fitted into the new model, so it has some legitimate off-road capability to boast about, much like its predecessor.<\/p>\n
Some safety tech will also make an appearance \u2013 forward collision alert, high beam assist, lane departure warning, and traffic sign recognition are all planned inclusions.<\/p>\n

The interior has also received a major upgrade, with a far more modern layout and materials, as well as a touchscreen infotainment system being on the cards \u2013 although it hasn\u2019t been confirmed for the SA market yet.<\/p>\n

In keeping with their good reputation, Suzuki is delivering a reliable, well-equipped off-roader that won\u2019t require a second mortgage to afford. Be on the lookout for more details as SA specs become available!<\/p>\n
