In production since 1998, the third generation of the iconic Jimny is about to be phased off in roughly three years’ time. It was about time, Suzuki! The Jimny is as old as Celine Dion’s biggest hit single, that lousy theme song from James Cameron's Titanic.
All things considered, no one can deny a change was due to keep the Jimny fresh. Please don’t get me wrong here - I like the little bugger’s simplicity and the Kei SUV packaging. Even the elderly chassis and off-road technologies still make sense for one reason - they work, so why bother with changes?
Well, that simple question comes with an even more simple answer - Europe’s and the United States’ increasingly dramatic war on emissions, fuel economy, you know the story.
Are you curious about what the Euro-spec 2015 Suzuki Jimny update added?
An electronic stability control system, a tire pressure monitoring system, as well as a gear shift indicator for more economical driving because the European Union eco-friendly bigwigs want so.
At this moment I’m pretty sure you comprehend how gray-haired the third-gen Suzuki Jimny is. Just like that Bob Dylan classic - the times they are a-changin’, so let’s prepare ourselves for an evolution rather than a revolution.
