Despite its size and not at all brutal appearance, usually characteristic of all-terrain models, compact Japanese crossover Suzuki Jimny is in great demand in many countries of the world, including Russia (meaning the period before the economic crisis, now demand has significantly subsided). Talks about the imminent release of this car in the new generation have been going on for a long time, and today the details that the car Internet portal Auto Express has shared are known.

The new generation of the compact crossover will have the same frame structure as the previous generation.
