Is it a small swift with great sportsmanship?

Is it a super Vitera who is ugly but can challenge the ring tower rally?

Or the Big Dipper that carries the dream of the whole family?

Or ... a two-wheeled land-based plane with a soul-Falcon?

But in fact, I believe that many people who like Suzuki, the first car to jump out is Jimny.

Although it doesn't have enough space for four people to go out together, it can go where the land patrol can't pass.

It is said that Suzuki likes making cars, which is not wrong. Because the car is between square inches, it can better reflect great wisdom.

Take this opportunity to review the four generations? In Jimny's previous life.

In fact, Jimny is not a model developed by Suzuki, but has the shadow of another company.

0 1. The first generation Jimny

1968, Suzuki because of hope automobile company (hope? Motor? Company) bought Hopestar because it was difficult to mass-produce? The production right of 360. This is a small two-door SUV.

Then at 1970, Suzuki was interested in this Hopestar? 360 has made a series of adjustments. Including replacing the original 359cc air-cooled Mitsubishi engine with Suzuki's own 359cc two-stroke twin-cylinder engine and naming it LJ 10. This is the original Suzuki Jimny.

This SUV has 24.66 horsepower and 33.3 Nm of torque, and the power is not very strong now and then. However, powerful configurations such as 4-speed manual, 2-speed transfer case and part-time 4wd provide impressive off-road performance.

Suzuki did not give up the adjustment of LJ 10. 1972 water-cooled engine replaced the original air-cooled unit. After replacing the powertrain, LJ 10 became LJ20. In the same year, LJ20V launched a fully enclosed fuselage, which is more suitable for all-weather use than the original soft top version. 1975 introduced a four-seater model, which was popular in Japan for a time.

Taking this opportunity, Suzuki decided to export LJ 10 and LJ20 to the United States in the 1970s, and seized 3,500 sets of sales in California, Nevada and Arizona.

At the end of the first generation, Suzuki provided three Jimny models: soft top, hard top and pickup truck.

02. The second generation Jimny

198 1 year, the second generation of Jimny made its debut.

Compared with the previous generation, this generation of vehicles can ensure the vehicles to run in rugged terrain and have higher road comfort. In addition, it also emphasizes the overseas market demand outside Japan.

Although the 539cc two-stroke three-cylinder engine has been continuously supplied in the Japanese domestic market for several years, more importantly, Suzuki has provided a brand-new 970cc four-cylinder engine with a peak power of 5 1 horsepower and a peak torque of 80 Nm.

1986, Jimny was exported to the United States again. Out of respect for the power demand of Americans, Suzuki chose to further increase the displacement. The engine displacement of the American version is 30% higher than that of the Japanese version. The peak power of this 1.3-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine can reach 63 horsepower, which is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission and part-time 4wd system. Car owners can freely choose soft-top or hard-top bodies.

After the release of model 1995, the second generation Jimny was officially discontinued.

03. The third generation Jimny

This generation is also the most famous Suzuki Jimny in China. /kloc-0 was officially listed in 1998, officially retired in 20 18, and survived for 20 years.

As for its characteristics, it is a more rounded shape and a powerful body chassis.

Like previous generations, Suzuki customized a car with a K-car engine for the Japanese market, while the rest of the world is another powerful car. In order to attract European customers, Suzuki imported 1.5T turbocharged diesel engine from Renault in 2004. Small fuselage, it can be said that the power is endless.

This generation has a lot of history and stories. I believe everyone has heard of it, so I won't go into details.

04. The fourth generation of Suzuki Jimny

In 20 18, the fourth generation of Suzuki Jimny came out.

Suzuki once again restored the previous hard-core appearance for this small SUV that climbed over the mountains, and the shape was very sharp.

In Japan, it uses a 660cc three-cylinder turbocharged engine, which can produce 63 peak horsepower and 96 Nm peak torque. In other parts of the world, it is a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with peak power 100 horsepower and peak torque 130 Nm.

In terms of chassis, the new car adopts Suzuki's latest Allgrip? Dear? AWD system is still a familiar two-speed transfer case and part-time 4wd system.

The interior seems to keep up with the pace of modernization, and the central control touch screen, radar image and other configurations are equipped.

But unfortunately, in 2020, Suzuki had to withdraw from the European market on the grounds that it did not meet European emission regulations. Fortunately, at present, there are still some supporting countries in China that can carry out licensed products through parallel imports, which can be regarded as finding a good home for Jimny.
