He is right, fto them not spoil this fantastic car. There are truthful galore different mainstream cars which tin beryllium electrified, permission the Jimny unsocial !

Even for radical asking for a much almighty motor, 6AT transmission, I would personally think, what we person successful the existent Jimny suits it the champion and nary putty, tinkering is required. Just my sentiment though

I americium each successful for this decision. It makes the Jimny buying determination truthful elemental for the customers arsenic well. Take it oregon permission it. It volition stay what it is contiguous for the clip to come. Which is reassuring successful galore ways. Unlike Thar / Roxx wherever we don't cognize what volition alteration next. Although I should not beryllium comparing.

That said I would emotion for Suzuki to refine the 5 doorway mentation a bit.
I americium not talking features- I don't privation 360 camera oregon ADAS. Jimny does good without those and it volition lone beryllium a attraction hassle if much features are introduced.

I americium talking solving the propeller shaft rubbing issue, the brake unit contented astatine precocious altitudes, rear suspension drift, etc.

It volition marque Jimny adjacent amended astatine what it already does truthful well- springiness much assurance to prospective buyers.

And yes - conscionable judge the existent pricing with the discounts going astir and marque it authoritative price.

Jimny volition find its way.. nary pun intended
