A few days ago, some netizens posted that a group of Suzuki Jimneys who meet the national 6 emission standards will arrive in Hong Kong in the form of parallel imports, with a pre-sale price of 328,800 yuan, I don't know if there are netizens who are interested in this small hardcore SUV.
From a practical point of view, the previous domestic Suzuki Jimney has indeed been recognized by many off-road enthusiasts for its leather durability and off-road potential, and it is still relatively valuable in the second-hand market.
As for Suzuki Motors' withdrawal from the Chinese market, the new generation of Jimney can only be sold through parallel imports. The price of Jimney's local car in Japan is actually not expensive, starting at 1.48 million yen, which is less than 90,000 yuan, but the parallel import car dealers have taken a fancy to the feelings of off-road enthusiasts for this small off-road vehicle, and they have spent a wave of money.
The new generation of Jimney follows the classic square box shape of the old model, but compared to the rounded lines of the old model, the new car obviously uses more square and masculine lines to portray the mature tough guy style, making it look more like the MINI Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
The new generation of Jimney insists on a non-load-bearing body, the ground clearance reaches 205mm, and the four-wheel four-corner layout gives it an innate advantage, with a proximity angle of 41°, a departure angle of 51°, and a passing angle of 28°. Coupled with the time-sharing four-wheel drive system, it provides 2H, 4H, 4L mode switching. These are all off-road configurations that follow the old Jimney, and the new car will only be stronger.
The interior is still a practical layout, more electronic than the old model. In terms of power, the new generation of Jimney parallel imported models will be equipped with a 1.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine codenamed K15B, with a maximum power of 102 horsepower and a peak torque of 130 Nm, matching a 5MT or 4AT gearbox.
In the face of the price of 328,800 yuan, the price is closer to the tank 500, the same hardcore off-road vehicle, Jimney should have off-road configuration it is equipped with, and more comfortable and luxurious, equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine and a 9-speed manual transmission, but through some complex off-road road conditions are not as flexible as Jimny.
To be flexible, there are also BJ40 short-axle three-door versions of these potential models, and the price of 200,000 is smashed 70,000 or 80,000 to upgrade the off-road configuration, is not it better than Jimnixiang?
