I don't think the Jimny will be back any time soon tbh. They can't make enough of them for the far East and Australia and the car is about to launch in India as well.

I think the Gen4 saloon will disappear in early 2021 and never re-appear in that form. The Van version will give Suzuki a small commercial rival to the Bippa etc. The 1.5 petrol saloon will be a rare beast.
Next year, Suzuki will sell a badged Corolla and Rav4 specifically for Hybrid/Electric, this is because the current Suzuki sourced range which is "hybrid" is actually very low hybrid capability.
The Jimny name will not disappear, we will eventually see a Gen5 or "Grand Jimny" which will not be an evolution from the current range (LJ-SJ-Jimny3-Jimny4 is a clear chassis/solid axle DNA) but will be something totally different underneath (electric/hybrid) but will be years away and may even be another badged Toyota. It could be that the Rav4 is the "Grand Jimny".

A new jimny cost around 26-29000 pounds in UK?Andy2640 wrote: I reckon we will be nailed on road tax or some kind of emission tax in the very near future!! I was speaking to a french dude yesterday who said they get taxed around 4 grand on the jimny, NO KIDDING #!*^##!!!!!
Well here in Norway it would cost above 40000 from its emissions wich is why there is no Jimny.
A large new petrol car costs about twice or close to 100% fee if you will, from import tax on emissions.
Electrical vehicles has almost no import tax. We get the E-golf here for about the same price as in UK.
A Tesla X cost 85000 and a Range Rover Velar 95000 in Norway
edit: ahh forgot. EV has no toll road fees, no ferry cost, no road tax. electrical power cost 0.1 pound a kWh and petrol cost 1.7 pounds pr liter.

Noooooooo!
What a bleak future.....the whole concept of a 'Grand Jimny' misses the point. We love the Jimny because it is what it is. The design of the Gen 4 is spot on - just a pity the engine belongs to times past. Hopefully, if Suzuki can find a new efficient hybrid engine and get it into the existing JImny, they'll be back on with a winner. I fear it'll all be too late for me though.....so the search for a Gen 4 continues!

They aren't EU rules, vehicle emissions and safety laws are UN regulations that are flowed down through the EU - we aren't leaving the UN so they will still apply.
Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.
