Come 2021 and the Suzuki Jimny won't be available in Europe as a new car and the remaining months of 2020 will be consumed with completing the pending orders.

The departure of Jimny from the Suzuki's European line-up is a part for a bigger strategy for the company, since Suzuki's entire future line-up minus Jimny will be hybrid-only. Every single Suzuki will be electrified to some extent, be it Ignis, Vitara or the Swift Sport. The new Across SUV will be Suzuki's first foray into plug-in hybrids.
