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.

You probably professional help for that long ago, now, it’s a case of hold on and see where the ride ends [emoji56]Saxj wrote:I hope. But I'm already feeling 4x4 withdrawal symptoms, by November I'm going to need professional help

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.
