As one of our main correspondent in the general vicinity will you be attending Tokyo on our behalf to get us some first hand intelligence on the new Jimny?

Now you have me thinking.....

Darn you! I can't get it out of my mind now. Admission tickets are a little under $15 USD, Airline tickets from Manila to Tokyo are reasonable. I might just do it if it weren't for the fact that everyone there would be speaking in some kind of secret code.

all I know is that since these pictures have come out it is a good time to sell a jimny,things don't usually go up in price in 5 months by 2 grande

Huh they have gone up in price? I thought I was struggling a bit much to find a VVT for <£2.5k. I was hoping for a value crash when the new model got released.

The Italian press are showing 3 new models and one is a 5 door.

I agree the more old SJ shape would be my choice.

got a new one in September 16,it is going on the first of December in part ex deal done yesterday,got second new one December 16 it went in part ex on first of june at £2000 less than yesterday,both are exacly the same spec,after taking all the years to get one,they have both been prone to faults,they come out of dealers worse than they go in last one went for service just to get book stamped and keep value,they de valued it more with scratches,they are cheep to buy for a reason,if any one wants any 30mm spacerers have 2 sets.

Quite like the look of this.. at least they have kept it utilitarian and not turned it into a bubble!

Just seen a video taken at a motor show. The info board in front of the jimny is titled "Suzuki jimny allgrip" New 4x4 system maybe?

Not long to go 'til the 45th Tokyo Auto Show on 27th October 2017

I'd drive and buy this


This would be a fun vehicle, the ground clearance would be enormous and the thought of an electric motor in each wheel, obviating the need for tailshafts, axles, gearboxes and transfer cases with electrics full-torque from start etc is very interesting indeed.


Looking forward to whatever comes

Yeah think you might be right, I have seen a article on Suzuki global about the AllGrip and they show a jimny with AllGrip Pro, probably be another option

The vid for the Ignis is cheese on cheese with double cheese on top

Saying that the Mrs absolutely loves her one

the current jimny is all grip select,the new one is going to be all grip pro the same as old grande vitara 2.4 we had,going into low it cracks and banged going in and out ,if it would come out,is linked to abs and traction control,main module went a comen fault on it and swifts,between £1400 and £1750 if you fit it yourselfe,when it plays up cuts power as well,after seing the shape and build quality of last 3 suzukies changing brands,last jimny was got because dealer did a good deal on vitara without seeing dashboard like a Christmas tree
