After Being Suspended Due To Flood Orders, The Suzuki Jimny Nomade Delivery Queue Can Reach 4 Years

JAKARTA - In early February, Suzuki announced stopping bookings at Jimny Nomade or five doors to the Japanese market or after four days the model was launched.

The manufacturer with the 'S' logo claims to have received more than 50,000 orders, prompting them to suspend their orders. After that, it was also reported that Suzuki was increasing production but the delivery time was not yet certain.

A recent report from Japanese media Best Car, Friday, March 7, said one of the dealers in Sakura's country could not confirm its delivery time to customers and said it would take about four years until the last shipment.

"Currently, we are not sure about the delivery time for customers who signed the contract before the order is discontinued. It is said that it will take about four years until the final delivery," said one of the dealers.

The sales volume target for Jimny Nomad has been announced at 1,200 units per month. If 1,200 units can be delivered per month, it will take three years and five months to reach 50,000 units.

After three and a half years since launch, changes to regulations regarding safety equipment will be implemented and improvements to vehicles will be something that needs to be done.

With the presence of several changes, it is assumed that the price will change between the ordering time and delivery time in the next three and a half years which exceeds the deadline for sending new models.

Thus, the booking for Suzuki Jimny Nomade in Japan will resume at the end of 2027.

However, Suzuki will seek to increase the number of productions on this model to shorten the delivery time of Jimny Nomade so that bookings can restart earlier than expected.

"Currently we are preparing to increase the production of Japanese models to shorten the delivery time of Jimny Nomade and accelerate the resumption of orders. In addition to our production system in India, we are also regulating ship deliveries to transport vehicles and expand PDI facilities at the Kosai plant for pre-delivery inspections," the manufacturer said.

It was stated that production would increase from 1,200 units to 2,500 units, but this has not been officially confirmed by Suzuki.

If the volume is increased to 2,500 units, to reach 50,000 units it will take under two years or no later than finishing in the summer of 2026.
