Sweden haven't imported any Jimnys the last ten years at least. And only a few wrong hand drive postal jimnys before that I think.
Edit: No swedish Jimnys after 2008 and only a very few before that.

Is it confirmes that it will come with the 1.5?

Makes sense for all the emission restrictions around the world. Not the ideal engine for off-roading but that is probably low on most owners priorities. Everyone is going small, even range rover is going down to 2 litre and smaller in the future.

Would be also interesting to know what is the bare minimum version. Do they make a model like my JX 2006 without power steering, AC, power locks or windows, painted bumpers etc

Now that's my problem too. I like driving a bit of a beater.

They've been selling small engine turbo Jimnys for years in the home market.
Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

It seems it may be discontinued.
Caterham also used the 660cc Turbo Kei engine in their evolved Lotus 7 160s car 2014 - 2017.
The engine is now longer available from Suzuki, forcing end to production of the 160s.
The last available engines were sold in a small run of retro theme limited edition super-sprint cars.
A shame, knowing the common link between such very different vehicles, it would have been a blast to have both a Jimny and a Caterham 7 .
Maybe in a years time the Caterham 160 will be resurrected with a new Suzuki engine and transmission.
