Not exactly in the same league as a VW Up, but looks practical
No, it is in a way better league.

Lots of info out there, but I can't find a dimension comparison between the current Jimny & the new Jimny...

I want to know if it's any bigger - particularly inside...

It's the same external dimensions, so internal can't really get any bigger.
The gained a bit of folded seat boot space by eliminating the rear seat arm rests.
The seat up boot space is smaller, because they added a cubby hole to facilitate the flat floor with seats folded.

I read that it’s got a push button start, which is great for off-roading.

Looking at the LCD display, it’s perfectly placed & looks like a quality system.

Jeep were looking at doing a miniature Wrangler but I think Suzuki already has them beat.

I really do like this little car.

What I do not get though is the fitment of HT tires on a 4x4.

They’ve done a damn good job for sure.

There’s still no direct competition to the Jimny.

You probably professional help for that long ago, now, it’s a case of hold on and see where the ride ends [emoji56]

On that other Forum the New Jimny Thread (started by yours truly) they were theorizing about pricing.
The general feeling (hoping) is it will come in around R280k.
I can't see that - VAT @ 15%, the increased CO2 levy & the atrocious economic management by our incompetent government tells me it will slot in at R320k.
Which is still a damn good price.
