Where to Buy a Jimny

[LaIsaac]

Among the three major global automotive markets, currently only the European market offers relatively easy access to purchasing a Jimny. However, due to emissions compliance issues, its sales in Europe are already in jeopardy. The Jimny exited the North American market as early as 2012, while in China, it can only be obtained through parallel imports—priced as high as 300,000 RMB. Moreover, after the full implementation of China's National VI emission standards, the Jimny has been completely barred from entry. This highlights the Jimny's current predicament: it has fans everywhere, but very few places where it can actually be sold. Suzuki gave the Jimny a full redesign in 2018, with the new generation retaining its classic styling while still boasting impressive off-road capabilities. In terms of design, size, and styling elements, it's a vehicle with undeniable character, though it offers almost no practicality. Of course, discussing practicality with the Jimny is a mistake in itself—its true strength lies in off-road performance.
