With its small and attractive body shape and powerful all-wheel drive, Suzuki Jimny has a very high status in SUV industry, but it's a pity that car also left Chinese market a few years ago. together with Suzuki, and now it can only be purchased in parallel, and its price even exceeds 300,000 yuan, which also led to fact that number of new generation Jimny in China is very small.

There have been rumors of a five-door version of Jimny before, and there is a strong possibility that Jimny is intended for Indian market.

In terms of overall design, new car also adopts familiar square box shape, and difference between five-door version and regular version is that new car has received a corresponding extension behind C-pillar, and according to actual data, wheelbase and body length of new car have been increased by 300mm, and wheelbase has reached 2550mm. It is believed that after lengthening, the trunk volume will also improve to some extent.

As for weak point in terms of power, five-door version of Jimny will continue to be equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with a maximum output of 75 kW and a maximum torque of 130 Nm. with a 4AT / 5 speed manual transmission, to be honest, such a power unit today can be called very backward!

However, a hybrid system is expected to be introduced in new car in future. With support of engine, it can provide an additional maximum power of 25 kW and a maximum torque of 60 Nm. A pleasant experience.

Overview

For Jimny, it is certainly a complete but distinctive car. Although new car is not economically viable from any point of view, it can even be described as backward, and price in domestic market exceeds 300,000 yuan, but there will be many more" powerful" bosses who will pay for it.

As for five-door version, after lengthening it can be said that it can accommodate daily needs of car, because Jimny three-door version can be said to be very worrying in terms of storage space, which is why it is very popular. One of reasons why but it is unfortunate that it does not meet needs of current domestic market. Even if it is sold domestically through parallel imports in future, its price is likely to reach a new high, so audience is not large.

The new car is expected to make its official debut at Indian International Auto Show starting on January 13th. Are you looking forward to it?
