Suzuki unveils new specifications and images Jimny | Drive

TOKO, July 7 – Before the Kia Soul and Jeep Renegade are so popular with buyers, if Suzuki had revealed a new Jimny as square and square as its new model 2019, its retro style criticism raised by some. The first official images of the new Jimny appeared last month, and now the Japanese manufacturer has released a large detailed gallery of new images and details on the powertrain and safety technology.

The 2019 Suzuki Jimny will be the fourth-generation popular, compact, yet rugged and sensible all-terrain, and the latest version of a model that has been accompanying us now for about twenty years. Suzuki certainly has not tried to reinvent the wheel here by making the Jimny all sleek and modern with one of those sloping cut-style roof lines more and more popular. Instead it has a distinctly retro, boxy look with a flip top, and the new model will remain one of the few vehicles of this type to still have the spare wheel mounted on the rear door.

For the moment just one engine has been confirmed for the 2019 Jimny, which may not be surprisingly not Suzuki's popular three-cylinder Booster Jet. Instead, it will be powered by a brand new 1.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder unit.

This new engine will be more powerful than the 1.3 liter engine of the current model because it will develop 101 horses and 130 horses. Nm of couple. In addition to being more powerful, the new unit is also smaller and lighter than the one it replaces, which bodes well for the performance of this next-generation model.

With the five-speed manual transmission being 90 mph with a claimed fuel economy rating of 41.5 mpg. If the four-speed automatic option is preferred, the maximum speed drops a little to 87 mph, and fuel economy takes a similar hit at 37.6 mpg.

Unlike most rivals in its class, the Jimny is a true off-road built on a scale-scale platform with Allgrip Pro part-time four-wheel drive with a low range in the part of its standard equipment. But in addition to being able to ride off-road, the new Jimny will also improve its driving ways with better ride quality thanks to the rigidity of the scale frame and a new steering component that minimizes shaking and vibration. . – AFP-Relaxnews
