Suzuki's latest pint-sized off-roader looks to be channelling some Mercedes G-Wagen vibes in these leaked images
The New Suzuki Jimny Has Been Leaked, And It Looks Like A Mini G-Wagen

We’re not supposed to be seeing the next-generation Suzuki Jimny until the Tokyo Motor Show, but thanks to a highly unusual thing happening, we’re getting an early look. Yep, images of the new version have been leaked on the Internet, and we like what we see - apart from the chair that protrudes into the frame in each shot.

The New Suzuki Jimny Has Been Leaked, And It Looks Like A Mini G-Wagen

Rather than tone down its utilitarian nature, Suzuki looks to have toughened up its pint-sized off-roader considerably. There are unapologetically large swathes of tough grey plastic, boxy dimensions and good old-fashioned steel wheels. In fact, it sort of looks like a mini Mercedes G-Wagen.

The inside exudes a similarly tough, function-led feel, with a touch screen appearing to be the only modern accoutrement on display.

The current Jimny has been kicking around since 1998, sitting on a simple ladder frame chassis and powered by a range of small engines. Technical details for the new car are thin on the ground, but we can expect it to follow a similarly uncomplicated ethos.

G-Wagon. A car that looks the same for the past 40 years, and someone decides to copy it…

Or it could just be that they are making it look like the old samurai. Ive never felt a “G wagen vibe” from the leaked pictures, all ive seen in it is the samurai and the newer jimny in the front end.

Looks like a g wagon? not at all. Apart from the grill its almost exactly the same as the old suzuki samurai/jimny. The title should be: “the new suzuki jimny has been leaked, and it looks like a restomodded samurai”

I’d say it looks like a cross between the two, but obviously this is all subjective…

But the G wagon design hasn’t been changed in 25 years?

There are two 4x4s I like. The Defender and the Jimny. Can’t explain it.
