This YouTube video has got some nice close up shots of the jungle green Jimny, the back seats fold down flat..

Thanks for that video, gives the best impression of the car I've seen yet. Load bay seriously practical now that the seats fold flush. Official global launch tomorrow! :)

One thing I've noted is that while both the approach (36 deg vs 34 deg) and departure (50 deg vs 46 deg) are better on the new model, the breakover angle is slightly worse, 28 degrees on the new car, 31 on the old.

The Sierra model has more ground clearance than the old Jimny @ 210mm verses 190mm

I really hope this new Jimny has more leg room for the driver. I physically do not fit in the old Jimny and so cannot drive it!

That looks awesome. I wonder if all the tech they feature in the video (automated braking, lane departure warning etc) will make it into the UK spec cars? Is the LSD a completely new feature (Jimny noob here).

I'm ordering one (Ivory with auto box) as soon as they're available in the UK, can't wait!

I don't think it has an LSD. I think it simulates it with the brakes.

I still don't understand why they don't have the switch to lock all four wheels like the ignis?

It does, its a large switch, the middle of three towards the floor, you operate the switch with your foot :)
