My car of the day, new Suzuki Jimny.
The Suzuki Jimny seems like a forgotten vehicle, I certainly thought Suzuki had stopped making them. Well in actual fact, it remains a popular vehicle and so much so that if you ordered one now, you won't be taking delivery of it until next year. This new version has a certain retro styling to it and an improvement over the chunky outgoing model. And did you know that the Jimny first appeared way back in 1970 and this is the first all new Jimny in 20 years. This new version has a Land Rover defender look about it. Suzuki has fitted a new naturally aspirated 1.5 litre four-cylinder petrol producing 101 BHP and 130 NM of torque. It's matched with a choice of four or five speed automatic gearboxes. The Jimny's new ladder framed chassis is 50 percent more rigid and the three-link rigid axle suspension has been tuned to cater for on road and off road handling. Inside the Jimny is modern with higher quality plastics . Toys include cruise control,auto emergency braking, and lane departure alert.
Key specs: price:£13,500 engine:1.5 4 cyl petrol power/torque:101 BHP/130 NM transmission:five speed auto four-wheel drive 0-60 in 12 seconds top speed is 90 MPH. Like it? SUZUKI JIMNY PIC 1.jpg SUZUKI JIMNY PIC 2.jpg SUZUKI JIMNY PIC 3.jpg SUZUKI JIMNY PIC 4.jpg SUZUKI JIMNY PIC 5.jpg |

Such a massive improvement on the previous - particularly the interior - Suzuki really up'ing their game at the moment with the new Swift as well - definitely like this SB

Absolutely love this and very tempted by one - even more so if it is available in the orange that some of the press photos have had it in
