It seems that in the subjective impression of many people, the ability to strong off-road is "standard" with the power level of large displacement.
But the appearance of Jimney just overturned this statement, as Suzuki's small SUV Jimney, with its small SUV body and excellent off-road mechanical qualities, has become a very classic existence in the off-road circle.
Therefore, in the past, when Suzuki had not yet launched the domestic market, Jimney was one of the off-road models that many domestic off-road players were happy to pursue. In the near future, according to online media reports, Jimney will once again introduce domestic sales and sell in parallel imports.
It is reported that the first batch of new cars delivered is limited to 21 units, which is a "bad news" for friends who like Jimney, and this first-come, first-served opportunity is still a first-come.
At the same time, Jimney also announced a price of 328,800, and now Jimney has ushered in the overseas market, starting at 16,796 pounds in the Uk market, equivalent to about 150,000 yuan.
Jimney still follows the classic retro design in the shape, the square "box shape", the slightly rough vertical grille, the round head and large ears of the headlamp group.
Everything about Jimney is like a "miniature version of the Big G." Compared with the old models, the new models are more straight and regular in the outline of the lines.
The two-door layout of the Jimney looks very small, positioning the small SUV Jimney length and width 3395 * 1475 * 1725mm, wheelbase performance of 2250mm. Thanks to its compact body structure, Jimney is able to guarantee strong passability in complex off-road environments.
Nowadays, more and more off-road models are gradually biased towards intelligent comfort, and Jimney still gives a full "mechanical sense" in the atmosphere and configuration level of the interior cockpit. For such a model with a pre-price of more than 300,000 yuan, Jimney's large number of plastic interior materials are indeed quite cheap.
But for a car like the Jimney, and for car owners who really like the Jimney, "Who care"? It's about this taste that's both plastic and vintage.
The Gimney has a four-seat layout, and the rear seating space is more similar to the third row of seats for the 7-seater model. The rear seats can be reclined completely flat, which maximizes the storage space.
In terms of power, Jimney is equipped with a 1.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 75kW and a peak torque of 130 Nm. The drivetrain is matched by a 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmission, and is equipped with a low-speed four-wheel drive time-sharing four-wheel drive system.
Compared with the previous generation of 2013 Jimney's set of 1.3L engines, it has improved in power parameters.
It is worth mentioning that the introduction of Jimney into the country will solve the problem of National VI emissions, so for friends with strict emission standards in some areas, there is also an opportunity to snap up Jimni.
The debut of this generation of Jimney was in 2018, and it took nearly four years to have the opportunity to introduce domestic sales, and for those jimney's deep fans, they had to sigh "late but arrived".
For the Suzuki car brand that has completely withdrawn from the Chinese market, perhaps the first batch of 21 vehicles is just a process of "testing the waters" in the Chinese market for the brand. If Jimney can get a good response in China, perhaps Suzuki Motors will also consider introducing a larger number of Jimneys into China.
