Meet the new Suzuki Jimny LCV!
Good news if you thought the chirpy, endearing little Suzuki Jimny small SUV was dead. It lives on in this commercial form as the Jimny LCV. But all the things we loved about the fourth-generation Jimny stay intact. It’s the van you never knew you wanted.
Like us, you can probably think of quite a few cars that left production far too soon. In the modern era, that’s usually because they fail to meet ever-more stringent emissions regulations and such a casualty was the fourth-generation Suzuki Jimny small SUV, which launched here at the end of 2018 but stayed on sale in the UK for only 18 months.
Turned out its modest 1.5-litre petrol engine was dragging down Suzuki’s model range 95g/km CO2 fleet average, so it had to go – and that was that.
Or so we thought. But then someone at Suzuki discovered the ‘N1 Light Commercial’ vehicle category that covers LCVs under 3.5 tonnes. Models of that sort sold here classified as vans don’t contribute to their manufacturers’ CO2 fleet average.
Other parts of the globe already wanted an LCV-orientated Jimny; why not sell that here? Hence in 2021, the launch of this model, the Jimny LCV.
