The new version of Jimney is introduced, and the port offer is close to tank 500! Off-road spoilers become "IQ tax"
I have to say that Suzuki Motors was once influential in the Chinese market, when private cars were just beginning to be popular, Chinese consumers preferred to choose cheap small-size models, which can achieve wind and rain protection, and fuel consumption is indeed very low. Therefore, suzuki Alto and big dipper star fire, in fact, Suzuki is good at building this kind of car, the same is true in the Japanese market, and in the Indian market, it has become the first sales car with the car. Unfortunately, Suzuki's good days in China have not continued, with the popularity of SUVs and large-size models, Suzuki has gradually withdrawn from the country, and now it is difficult to buy Suzuki's models, such as Jimney, an off-road spoiler, and now can only be introduced through parallel imports.
Recently, the first batch of models of the new version of Suzuki Jimney has arrived in Tianjin Port, this change is relatively large, compared to the original emission standards, the new version of Jimney has met the National 6 emission standards, that is to say, it can be listed normally in China, and is declaring Beijing emission standards, ready to show its ambitions in the domestic market. According to the first quotations of port dealers, the pre-sale offer of Jimney that meets the national 6 emission standards has reached 328,800, and it will be sold in limited quantities.
If this offer remains unchanged, then Suzuki Jimney has completely become an IQ tax, because the pricing of more than 300,000 is close to the entry price of tank 500, to know that the size of the domestic tank 500 has reached the medium and large level, and the whole series provides 3.0T independent research and development of high-performance V6 engines without difference, and various scientific and technological configurations and comfortable configurations are available, which is completely the hardware of the Suzuki Jimney.
In turn, looking at Suzuki Jimney, even if it is a new version, it is still equipped with an old model 1.5 liter displacement naturally aspirated engine, and the power parameters are also far behind the Great Wall 3.0T, even if it is compared to the tank 300, there is a big gap, let alone the comparison tank 500. Although the gearbox is an automatic wavebox, but it has only 4 gears, that is, the old classic 4at gearbox, this configuration sells more than 300,000 can only be doomed to take a niche route, if not hardcore fans and not bad money, then I am afraid that there will be no working-class consumers to choose such an off-road vehicle.
The exterior design is indeed very distinctive, Suzuki Jimney still maintains the square box style, from a distance even a bit like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, but a closer look will find that the size is obviously much smaller, but the round retro headlights and side style are more hardcore. The double-door design has two rows of seats inside, the space is not practical, if you play off-road for a long time, you can't carry too many supplies, if you form a team with other models, then Suzuki Jimney is completely incapable of rescuing others.
Overall, Suzuki Jimney has changed from the original off-road spoiler to the current IQ tax product, and if the parallel import price remains high, it will be more and more difficult to see this car on the road in the future.
