Suzuki Jimny Five-Door Rendering Featuring A Small SUV With A Pair Of Extra Doors

[ad_1]

The debut of the long-awaited five-door Suzuki Jimny is drawing near as an extended version of the tiny off-roader is set to launch later this year. After seeing the vehicle in the spy shots, we got an idea of what the new model looks like and try to reconstruct its appearance in this exclusive rendering.

Slightly Bigger

In addition to the additional pair of doors, the five-door Jimny should also have a longer wheelbase than the existing model. The increase is likely to be around 11.81 inches (300 millimeters). The width and height of the vehicle must not change.

A rumor from Japan says Suzuki plans to call the Jimny Long five-door model. Aesthetically, the front end should equal three doors. You have to look at it from the side to see the difference. The additional wheelbase length should also mean more cargo space at the rear.

New powertrains

The five-door Jimny is also rumored to be getting a new engine. A turbocharged mild hybrid engine is expected to replace the existing 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine with 100 horsepower (75 kilowatts). The current power plant’s poor emissions mean Suzuki can only sell it in Europe with a two-seat commercial version of the Jimny.

At the moment, it’s unclear whether the naturally aspirated engine will disappear completely or if the plant sticks to a commercial model. We don’t know yet if the new hybrid will be available in three doors, but from a mechanical perspective, nothing stands in the way of installation.

With a longer body and new engine, Europeans can expect to pay around €2,000 ($2,039 at current exchange rates). The current price of the Jimny in Germany starts at €23,915 ($24,380).

There are also rumors of Suzuki building a more robust version of the Jimny Long with a focus on off-roading. Apart from some speculation, we haven’t seen any spy shots or heard any other news about this more powerful model.
