It is no secret that Suzuki is working on a long
wheelbase 5-door version of the new Jimny mini off-roader.
The new model will also make its way to our
market in 2022. The company has started testing the production-ready version of the Suzuki
Jimny 5-door, which has been spotted recently.
The spy images confirm that the Suzuki Jimny 5-
door rides on the longer wheelbase and will get
an extended body. The longer wheelbase will
allow the company to create more space inside the cabin; making it more practical.
The Jimny 5-door will be based on the Sierra,
and will have 300mm longer wheelbase.
Thelength will also be increase by 300mm.
Leaked documents reveal that the new model
will measure 3,850mm in length, 1,645mm in width and 1,730mm in height.
Measuring under 4 meters, the 5-door Jimny for
India is expected to get the 1.5-litre naturally-
aspirated engine. However, it won’t be qualify
for the tax discounts offered on the small car in India.
This engine is capable of producing 103bhp of power and 138Nm of torque.
The International-spec model is reportedly to be
powered by a 1.4L turbocharged petrol engine
that powers the Suzuki Swift Sport. The engine
could also receive a mild-hybrid system. In the
current form, the 1.4L engine produces 127bhp
and 235Nm of torque. Transmission options will
include a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed torque
convertor automatic. 4×4 system will be offered
as standard; however, India-spec model could also get RWD version.
