There are few cars that have earned as much love as the Suzuki Jimny. Although its sales are not too outstanding, the small suv is a really appreciated vehicle Due to its philosophy, it has remained true to its origins. A copy in which his behavior outside the asphalt prevails over the rest and that has had a few ups and downs due to the issue of emissions. Now what was an open secret is confirmed, the launch of the Suzuki Jimny 5-dooralthough there are still doubts around him.
The main one is if that model It will be sold in Europe, something difficult considering the last events. You have to remember that after we tested the 3-door Jimny, it was withdrawn from our market due to emissions regulations. It recently returned, although in a commercial N1 version without rear seats, called the Suzuki Jimny Pro. It was said that the conventional variant would return in hybrid formatafter an electrification of which details have not yet been given.
The fact is that the 5-door Suzuki Jimny has been presented in India with the current engine of 1.5-liter four-cylinder atmospheric gasoline, so it would have to adapt to reach our country. It maintains that power of 102 CV and 130 Nm of torque and also the off-road capabilities. All-wheel drive is standard and has 2WD, 4WD, and 4WD low (low gear) modes. Off-road angles are 36º attack, 24º ventral and 50º exit; very similar to those of the 3-door version. The free distance to the ground is 210 mm.
Basically what differs is in the practicality that two additional doors and larger dimensions give it. Grows up to 3,985 mm long, with a width of 1,645 mm and a height of 1,720 mm. The wheelbase extends to 2,590 mm to achieve a five-seater cabin more spacious and comfortable. The trunk also grows slightly to 208 liters (332 liters to the roof).
At a technological level, the only difference that can be seen is an infotainment system with 9 inch touch screen, larger than the current seven. It has connectivity with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as a rear camera. In the aesthetic section there are no changes either, those square and more classic shapes that dazzle a large part of the public are maintained. They will be able to access it from the month of may in markets such as India (where it is manufactured), Australia, Africa and Latin America. We’ll see if a European version is announced later.
