The Suzuki e-Survivor Concept Is A Ridiculously Cool Guess At How A Future Jimny Might Look
Would you buy a Suzuki Jimny? The answer you’re looking for is: “yes, but only an old one that’s cheap enough to have some off-road giggles with.” But what about if it looked like this? We like!
This is Suzuki’s e-Survivor concept, which is set for some column inches at the Tokyo Motor Show next month. It’s electric, of course, and imagines a tiny off-roader from as far as 100 years into the future. It’s an open-top T-bar design like the one used on the much-mocked but now sort of ‘Barbie & Ken cool’ X-90 from the 1990s.
It’s a two-seater and looks cool as hell, frankly. It’s got some kind of ‘Wall-E meets child’s roller skate’ thing going on, but we love it. The massive ground clearance and almost non-existent overhangs suggest it could be seriously handy off-road, but driving range would theoretically be a bit of a problem.
Suzuki describes it as being made from ultra-lightweight materials, but it’s pretty conventional otherwise. It overlooks automation altogether (fist pump) and still uses the good old steering wheel and pedals. If only the new Jimny was basically this!

Does it come with machine guns like in halo
Not too survivor in case of zombie attack.
Will the production model have glass doors? No. Will it have blue LED rims? No. Will it have 1m of ground clearance? No. So in the end, the new Jimny will look exactly like the old one, but with that gloss black grille.
Am I the only one who thought this was a power wheel at first?
My friend has a sj and when I showed this too him he almost punched my phone
This is exactly what the X90 should’ve been
It looks like a tiny warthog
“Ridiculously Cool” more like Ridiculously Ugly..
It looks like a kids remote control car.
Looks like a future copy of the jeep trailcat
