New Jimny 2017 Tokyo Show

Yeah?, They will be a great help, When it's up to the door handles in mud and water.

The most detailed video I've seen so far......and does appear to really be a lever operated transfer.



Edit: I haven't been following this closely enough. Credit to gilburton. This appears to be the pro video he posted with content added by a dealer

One thing I've noticed on the global Suzuki site is that the standard tyre size is listed as being 195/80R15 for the Euro-spec model. That means that a move to 215/75R15 is only a +1.5% change over stock, rather than the +5.3% change at present from stock. Should lessen the impact of moving to BFG AT.

First impressions from a UK media outlet are good

Very positive - 4 stars. I'm sure Auto Express only gave the previous model 1 star out of 5.

Black Jimny Sierra

I can sense the force growing, pulling me back to the darkside

You know you want it Halford

Can't blame you Halford for getting a Skoda yeti hopefully the new jimny will have better road manners.

The Yeti was pretty much the only SUV on the market that I found interesting, a real shame they replaced it with the Karoqzzzzzzz. I'm sure the new one is a better all-round vehicle, but by gum it's boring looking, has none of the quirky interest of the Yeti, just another identikit SUV which could have a VW/Audi/Seat badge on and you'd never notice.

That's what makes the new Jimny so appealing, it hasn't (yet) fallen into the trap of trying to appeal to the mass market, still an interesting niche product, long may it remain so!

I was also surprised tof hear they are doing away with the Yeti, a practical and popular car I thought.
