JAKARTA - Suzuki Jimny is one of the most loved models in the global market with unique designs and off-road driving skills. In fact, this model is present in the five-door variant in several markets, two of which are Indonesia and India.
Because it has high popularity, this manufacturer with the 'S' logo intends to present more options for this model, one of which is presenting a hybrid version.
Launching from Carscoops, Monday, July 1, this model will receive an update including the availability of hybrid powertrains that have higher fuel efficiency capabilities than just pure ICE machines.
It is rumored that the hybrid-powered Jimny will be available in the European market because it has lower emission levels. Suzuki will offer it with a 1.5 liter machine along with mid-hybrid technology as an option for a facelift that could potentially come in 2024 or 2025.

In addition, Suzuki also confirmed that this SUV will be presented again in the form of a pure electric vehicle (EV) that will make its debut on the blue continent in 2030. It is reported that the model is one of the five EVs the brand will launch in Europe.
It is reported that this model will maintain Jimny's design with three pieces of graphics of the front light being changed again. Apart from Europe, the model is also offered in Japanese and Indian markets.
"I want to see other variations of the Jimny variations that might even help NVES (New Vehicle Efficiency Standard)," said General Manager of Suzuki Australia Michael Pachota.
In addition to being changed in the form of electrification, this well-known automotive brand also intends to present it in the form of a two-door style pickup that will become a future rival for Toyota Hilux. This project is currently in the development stage and this model is called one of the most anticipated in the country.
"Imagine a Jimny with two seats up front and no seats in the back," said Pachota.
Previously, Jimny's version of pickup was exhibited at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2019 event under the name Suzuki Jimny Sierra Pickup Style.
