    The long-awaited “Jimny 5-door” is available in a wide variety of colors! What colors other than the vivid red? See in pictures

    People want a “Red Jimny”!

     The Jimny was introduced in 1970 and is a compact, full-fledged four-wheel drive vehicle characterized by its ladder frame and part-time 4WD system with an auxiliary transmission in the compact body of a mini-car.

     The second generation model, sold from 1981 to 1998, added the regular Jimny Sierra model with an enlarged body and engine in addition to the mini-car model, which was also sold overseas.

     In 2018, the current, fourth-generation model was introduced, with a square design that seems to be returning to its roots, as well as safety features appropriate for the modern age, such as the Suzuki Safety Support advanced driving assist system.

     The series has been sold in 199 countries to date, with a cumulative total of more than 300,000 units sold.

     The current Jimny has a 5-door model, which has been highly requested by users in Japan for its convenience and other features, and was introduced at Auto Expo 2023 in India.

     The main feature of the new Jimny 5-door model is that it is a 5-door version with an additional rear door at the rear, and features a special rear seat and interior.

     Many Jimny fans and four-wheel drive vehicle fans expressed their delight on social networking sites, and the “Jimny 5-door” became a trending topic on Twitter at one point.

     Maruti Suzuki’s official website has already posted a catalog of the new Jimny 5-door.

     Looking at the body colors, it appears that there will be five monotone (single-color) colors and two dual-tone colors with a black roof, for a total of seven colors, and red, which is not available on the Japanese Jimny Jimny Sierra, will be available.

     The “Sizzling Red” color in the lineup is a slightly darker red that emphasizes the tough image of the Jimny series. It also appears to be the only one available in both monotone and dual-tone options.

     This was commented on social networking sites as “I like the red color! It matches the Jimny Long.” “Jimny red is so cool!” “I want to see the Jimny 5-door red! I wonder what it looks like in real life. I want to see the red Jimny 5-door. I wonder what it will look like in real life.

     Some also commented, “Jimny 5-door, red also looks different from the previous Jimny, which is attractive.

     Some also commented, “The Jimny 5-door is available in red, you know I want one! I’ll buy it as soon as it comes out. I’ll buy it. I’ll buy it!” Some users seemed to be more motivated to buy the car after seeing the red color, and some even declared that they would buy it as soon as it goes on sale in Japan.

     On the other hand, there were also some users who said, “It’s not fair to offer red in India! There’s a 5-door Jimny in red too? It’s too bad they don’t plan to sell it in Japan.” Some users lamented the fact that it has not been announced whether or not it will be sold in Japan, while others envied the fact that red is not available for the Jimny and Jimny Sierra models currently on sale.

     Maruti Suzuki has stated that the new Jimny 5-door is scheduled to go on sale gradually from fiscal year 2023 and will be exported to Africa, Central and South America, and other countries.

     No public announcement has been made regarding the development in Japan, but given the immediate buzz and the eagerness of many users for the 5-door, more and more attention is being paid to whether or not it will be sold in the country.

    Toyota Hiace Revolution 12-Year Journey Unleashes Spectacular ‘Lamborghini’ Van Transformation

    Tokyo, January 31, 2024 – The upcoming Tokyo Auto Salon 2024 is generating tremendous buzz as enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the unveiling of jaw-dropping custom vehicles. Among the eye-catching displays, a Lamborghini-inspired Toyota Hiace, dubbed the “”SAD Specification,”” is poised to steal the show.

    At the Osaka Auto Messe 2023 held in February of the previous year, attendees were treated to a spectacle resembling the iconic Italian supercar Lamborghini Aventador. Surprisingly, at the center of attention was not a sleek sports car but a Toyota Hiace, reimagined into a supercar marvel.

    The Toyota Hiace, a venerable one-box van cherished by both corporate and individual users, has maintained its popularity for nearly two decades, particularly with the introduction of the fifth-generation “”200 Series Hiace”” in August 2004. In a fascinating blend of utility and luxury, the Hiace displayed at the Auto Messe exhibited an unprecedented transformation.

    This unique Hiace boasts an exceptionally low stance, projecting a fierce presence accentuated by flashy aero parts. Almost every external component, from front to rear bumpers, bonnet, and headlights, has been replaced, and wide over fenders contribute to its captivating wide and low profile. The rear features a tailgate spoiler, and the addition of a quadruple muffler setup leaves no trace of the original Hiace.

    The proud owner, who has been driving this Hiace for over 12 years with a staggering mileage of over 230,000 km, shared the journey of transforming it into the Lamborghini-inspired spectacle it is today. The modifications were implemented about two and a half years ago, with a full-body repaint further enhancing its distinct appearance.

    In a heartfelt testament to his attachment to the vehicle, the owner revealed, “”This Hiace was my first car after obtaining my license, and despite having the opportunity to drive various other cars, the Hiace has remained my favorite. The extensive customization reflects my passion, and I’ve received praise from fellow supercar enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship.”

    With Tokyo Auto Salon 2024 on the horizon, anticipation is building for the unveiling of more captivating custom cars. The “”Lamborghini”” Hiace serves as a testament to the creativity and dedication of car enthusiasts, leaving everyone eager to witness the next wave of automotive marvels at the upcoming event.

    Exciting Release Toyota’s New Yaris Hatchback Delivers 106 Horsepower and Unveils Impressive Price Range in Mexico

    Toyota’s Mexican subsidiary has announced the upcoming release of the new Yaris Hatchback, an entry-level compact car set to hit the market on July 27, 2023. This model is distinct from the Yaris compact car available in Japan, offering unique features and specifications catered to the Mexican market.

    Since its introduction in 1999, the Yaris has served as Toyota’s entry-level compact car and has gained popularity worldwide. It is not only sold in Japan but also in over 70 countries, including Europe and Asia. Positioned as a key model within the Toyota brand, the Yaris is regarded as a global strategic vehicle.

    In Japan, the car was initially known as the “Vitz” from the first generation to the third generation, which debuted in 2010. However, it has consistently been marketed as the Yaris overseas. With the introduction of the fourth-generation model in February 2020, Toyota adopted a unified naming strategy, selling the car as the Yaris both domestically and internationally.

    However, it’s important to note that the Yaris model available in Mexico, South America, and certain Asian markets differs from the models offered in Japan and Europe. The 2023 Yaris model sold in Mexico boasts larger dimensions, measuring 4115-4145mm in length, 1700-1730mm in width, and 1475-1495mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm. In comparison, the domestic and European variants have a smaller body, measuring 3940mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1500mm in height.

    The exterior design of the 2023 Yaris Hatchback aligns with the improved model revealed by Toyota Thailand in March 2023, featuring the distinctive “hammerhead design” seen in the brand’s latest models. The sharp wedge-shaped headlights, accompanied by a prominent lower grille, create a visually striking front end. Notably, character lines starting from the front fender and extending to the rear quarters add to the car’s appealing aesthetics.

    Inside the Yaris Hatchback, a curved instrument panel creates a pleasing ambiance, while the upper-grade models offer leatherette seats with elegant stitching. The central 7-inch infotainment system supports Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto connectivity options.

    Under the hood, the Yaris Hatchback is equipped with a 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that delivers a maximum output of 106 horsepower and a peak torque of 103 lb-ft. Drivers can choose between a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) or a 5-speed manual transmission, with all variants featuring front-wheel drive.

    Toyota prioritizes safety in the 2023 Yaris Hatchback, equipping it with the advanced driver assistance system known as “Toyota Safety Sense.” This system includes collision damage mitigation braking and lane departure warning to enhance overall safety on the road.

    In terms of pricing, the 2023 Yaris Hatchback will be available in Mexico at a range of 306,700 pesos (approximately 2.51 million yen) to 363,100 pesos (around 2.97 million yen). With its affordable price point and updated features, the new Yaris Hatchback is expected to attract customers seeking a reliable and stylish compact car option in the Mexican market.
