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.
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.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Or, you know, just the new Jimmy…
When you can afford a brick from the 1980’s but not the one you actually want
Wow. I love it.
All I see is a mix of various jimny generations and I like it!
The chassis will probably be more or less the same as on the current one but with a newer engine engine and gearbox.
Its still small. Well done. Good to see where other brands increase their car sizes all the time.
Haha it looks like a Chinese copy of a Suzuki Jimney not a mini G Wagon😂😂
Exposed!
I’ll just leave this here
The difference is the jimny has decent ground clearence
Reminds me more of a Hummer than anything. I see some similarities with the G wagon
I wish they would remake the MightyBoy like this.
