New 2019 Suzuki Jimny Prices Leaked Ahead of Debut, Starts at JPY 1.4 Million (Rs 9 Lakh)

The new 2019 Suzuki Jimny compact SUV has already created a lot of buzz in the market ahead of its Japan debut on 5th July, 2018. While the design, cabin, features and other important details of the SUV has already been leaked multiple times, this time around, the prices of the Jimny are out, as seen written in the leaked brochure from Japan.

Shared on a Facebook page, the leaked brochure hands-out the complete price list of the Jimny SUV that starts JPY 1,458,000 (Rs 9.02 lakh) for the base model called the Jimny XG and going up to JPY 2,019,600 (Rs 12.49 lakh) for the top-end Jimny Sierra JC variant.

As per the brochure, the new-gen Suzuki Jimny will get 4WD as standard in all the variants and there will be a total of 10 trims to choose from, categorized in 5 variants. While the regular Jimny will be available in XG, XL, and XC variants, the Jimny Sierra is available in two variants - JL and JC.

The Jimny for Japan comes with a 660cc, three-cylinder petrol engine, while the Jimny Sierra has a larger engine. Both the engines get either a 5 speed manual or a 4 speed automatic gearbox as an option. It's clear that the new Jimny will stay true to more than two decades of tradition of being a rugged, compact, capable and affordable SUV.

On the inside there's plenty of similarity with the current model, but there will be at least one or two very important changes. Amid the refreshed switchgear and new instruments housed in retro, boxy binnacles, there will now be a touchscreen infotainment system sitting on top of a new center console.

On the outside, the Suzuki Jimny will be a three-door offering and will come with a classic design language. The front-end of the car will have a 5-slat, blacked-out grille which along with the circular headlights, circular fog lights and circular indicators give the car a retro and muscular feel. The front bumper gets a large air intake and it is, along with the outside rearview mirrors, blacked-out.

Back in 2015, Suzuki announced it will be introducing five new vehicles in five years. The new Jimny will be the first of the proposed five cars, and the rest of the four cars will be launched in two years, time.
