lt might be an artist's impression from the manufacturer.
After all, the Chinese copied the Evoque fairly effectively and l see no reason why they wouldn't try to copy the Jimny.
The Jimny is extremely popular and they would sell all they could manufacture.
That's a total rip off of the Jimny though, l mean it's pretty much identical. lf it's actually true, l imagine Sukuki's lawyers will be sharpening their pencils.

As Martin has pointed out, "the rear door handle" appears dubious and if they are proposing a 5 door on the w/base of the Jimny, then structural integrity will be suspect. Maybe on a long wheelbase?

The lads in China couldn't give fiddlers. They will have copied the pencils by the time the meeting is over. I had a guy tell me a story of Chinese guys who came to visit a factory and wore shoes with some kind of glue on the souls so they could analyse the steel filings the guys were using in the factory. Could be rubbish.

4 seats, 3 locking diff's, turbo engine, updated head unit, no anti collision BS fitted. That's WIN WIN WIN. Where do I sign.
