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><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22642\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Jimny7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Jimny7.jpg 800w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Jimny7-300x169.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Jimny7-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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<p>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<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22644\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jimny12-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jimny12-1.jpg 800w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jimny12-1-300x169.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jimny12-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22643\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jimny10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jimny10.jpg 800w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jimny10-300x169.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jimny10-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In keeping with their good reputation, Suzuki is delivering a reliable, well-equipped off-roader that won\u2019t require a second mortgage to afford.
