Suzuki Jimny makes a comeback in two-seater commercial 4X4 avatar in UK
SuzukiJimny has made a comeback in the United Kingdom more than a year after it was discontinued in the country due to stricter emission norms. In its new avatar, the Suzuki Jimny has become a Light Commercial Vehicle, which has just two seats at the front instead of four in its passenger vehicle version. The backseats have been removed to transform the iconic 4X4 into a cargo vehicle.
From the outside, the Jimny commercial looks identical to the regular off-roading passenger vehicle.
The Suzuki Jimny SUV was reintroduced last year as a Class N1 commercial vehicle in Europe. The Jimny was pulled down earlier due to non-compliance to the stricter CO2 emission standards.
