Suzuki is working on a new variant of the Jimny, which has now been christened as the Jimny Lite. Scheduled to be launched in August 2021 in Australia, the model will retain a majority of the specifications, but will lose out on a few features.
Under the hood, the Suzuki Jimny Lite will continue to be powered by a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 102bhp and 130Nm of torque. Transmission options will be limited to a five-speed manual gearbox. The regular Jimny is also offered with a four-speed automatic unit.
Changes to the exterior design of the Suzuki Jimny Lite will include 15-inch steel wheels, plastic ORVM covers, and halogen projector headlamps. The model will not receive fog lights as a feature. Inside, the new Suzuki Jimny Lite will come equipped with a 2-DIN music system that replaces the seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system on the standard model.
