Suzuki has revealed a industrial version of the Jimny. It’s quite much similar to the basic off-roader – and, many importantly, it will enable Suzuki to continue selling the vehicle in Europe, even in the wake of the EU’s much more stringent emissions regulations. Sales are expected to begin early next 2021.

From the outside, the Suzuki Jimny industrial looks the exact same as the traveler bring model. However, to satisfy its new-found short as a light van, Suzuki has swapped the basic Jimny’s small rear bench seat for a partitioned 863-litre tons bay – which is 33 litres much more than the traveler design provided with the back row folded.
Suzuki Jimny vs Dacia Duster
This new industrial variant enables Suzuki to exploit a loophole in the present European emissions regulations. The basic Jimny was just recently eliminated from sale, as its engine bumped Suzuki’s typical fleet-wide CO2 emissions figure over the European Parliament’s just recently introduced 95g/km threshold.
However, that 95g/km figure only applies to traveler vehicles. industrial cars have a far much more lenient target figure of 147g/km of CO2 which, rather conveniently, the Jimny’s 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine comes better to matching – enabling Suzuki to eke a few much more sales out of its ever-popular off-roader.

The Jimny industrial features a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which creates 101bhp as well as 130Nm of torque – and, like the basic car, the system is mated to a four-wheel-drive system, which features a five-speed handbook gearbox as well as a low-range transfer case.
Suzuki likewise states that Jimny industrial purchasers will get the exact same level of basic devices as the traveler model. basic kit, therefore, will include air conditioning, cruise control, a full-size spare wheel as well as a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto.
