New Suzuki Jimny Gets Liberty Walk Treatment, Looks Like G-Class

To be more specific with our little title, the Suzuki Jimny body kit is a rendering right now. However, it should be ready in a few months and will look like the G500 4x4 Squared, with its massively flared wheel arches.

Considering the immensely positive response the new Jimny received, both in Japan and Europe, we wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a real hero of the aftermarket industry. After all, there hasn't been such a cool-looking and small SUV in a long time.

Japan's tuners are not strangers to making one car look like another. There was the Subaru BRZ that was made to resemble an Aston Martin and, more recently, a Daihatsu Kopen that looked like a convertible Nissan GT-R. Liberty Walk did that one too!

In any case, the rendering they are proposing is borderline plagiarism, especially since the front bumper is a carbon copy of an AMG-style G-Class. But we don't mind that, nor do we dislike the hood scoop. They work well with the deliberately round headlights of the Jimny.

A silver tow hook can also be seen at the bottom of the bumper. So this little truck means business... off-road business.

Liberty Walk is best known for its bolt-on fender flares which create a deliberate aftermarket statement. It's not like the standard Jimny is weak in that department, but it more resembles a Jeep Wrangler.

Kato Wataru and his hang also included a small deck for the top of the car and a rear spoiler. An aftermarket exhaust is also suggested in the company's social media posts, as are custom wheels. But let's not forget that Jimny is still available as a kei ar and subsequently fitted with a 0.66-liter engine.

No pricing details have been announced, but the "OEP222" body kit shouldn’t cost more than a couple of grand.
