    The long-awaited new Suzuki Jimny 5-door is out!

    The automotive world’s spotlight has turned to Suzuki’s Indian subsidiary, Maruti Suzuki India Pvt. Ltd., as they took the wraps off a trio of groundbreaking SUVs at the prestigious Auto Expo 2023 near Delhi, India. Enthusiasts and industry insiders alike have been eagerly awaiting this moment, marking the global debut of three distinct models that promise to redefine the SUV landscape.

    Forefront among these revelations is the much-anticipated “Jimny 5-door,” a fresh incarnation of Suzuki’s revered Jimny lineage. While the traditional “Jimny” and “Jimny Sierra” are known for their 3-door designs, the Jimny 5-door, as its name implies, boasts five doors, distinguishing itself as the flagship of the fourth-generation Jimny to make its maiden appearance in India.

    An Exclusive Showcase: Introducing the World to the “Jimny 5-door” Marvel!

    The Jimny 5-door, bedecked in a spectrum of bold hues including striking yellow and fiery red, is sure to capture attention on the streets. Its extended form, with dimensions measuring 3985 mm (length) x 1645 mm (width) x 1720 mm (height), stands an impressive 435 mm longer in length and 340 mm extended in wheelbase when compared to its 3-door counterparts. These augmentations translate into augmented legroom and cargo space, granting a heightened level of comfort and practicality.

    Moreover, the 1645 mm width remains unchanged from its 3-door counterparts, preserving the seating capacity for two individuals in the rear. Propelling this marvel is a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, presenting Indian drivers with the option of a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission, catered to their preferences and driving styles.

    A Glimpse Beyond the Jimny: The Fronx and eVX Step into the Spotlight

    The Suzuki Fronx, a compact SUV with a captivating coupe-style silhouette, takes center stage alongside the Jimny 5-door. Measuring at 3995 mm (length) x 1765 mm (width) x 1550 mm (height) and boasting a 2520 mm wheelbase, the Fronx harmonizes robust styling with elegance. Its distinct front grille and side profiles emphasize its muscularity, while the sloping rear contributes to its dynamic look, all packed into an agile sub-4-meter length.

    Delving inside, premium interiors align seamlessly with spatial efficiency. Passengers are treated to innovative features like an all-around monitor, head-up display, wireless charging dock, and dedicated air conditioning vents for rear-seat passengers. Under the hood, two powertrain options emerge: a 1-liter direct injection turbocharged engine hybrid and a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engine with an idling stop system. These powerplants, matched with either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, elevate the Fronx’s performance prowess.

    The future is electric, and Suzuki’s eVX makes an emphatic statement in that direction. This revolutionary EV, intended for commercial release by 2025, showcases Suzuki’s commitment to electric mobility on a global scale. Boasting dimensions of 4300 mm (length) x 1800 mm (width) x 1600 mm (height), the eVX boasts an imposing stance while accommodating a 60 kWh battery that promises a 550 km cruising range in India’s MIDC mode. With an emphasis on four-wheel drive capability and driving dynamics, the eVX showcases Suzuki’s engineering mastery.

    Global Aspirations: Suzuki’s SUV Triumphs Set to Make Waves Beyond India

    Suzuki has affirmed its intentions to release the Jimny 5-door and the Fronx in India within the fiscal year 2023, with plans to export these SUV marvels to markets including Africa and Latin America. As the automotive landscape evolves, Suzuki’s offerings demonstrate the brand’s commitment to innovation and its tireless pursuit of automotive excellence.

    Nissan released a new SUV “Kicks” with “increased power and 4WD”! How did you evolve with your first MC?

    “Nissan’s new Kicks SUV with “”more power and 4WD””! How has it evolved in the first MC?

    New “”Style Edition”” Grade Now Available
     Nissan launched the all-new KIX with minor changes on July 19, 2022. This will be the first minor change for the KIX, but what aspects have evolved?

    Nissan has launched the new “”KIX””! What is the evolution of the SUV with 4WD setting? View in pictures .

    Nissan’s KIX, a Compact SUV with Minor Changes

     The KIX retains its active design, but the center console and shift lever have been redesigned. The center console is now a floating type, emphasizing a more advanced atmosphere.

     The Two Tone Interior Edition has a new beige interior color in addition to the current orange tan.

     The new Style Edition grade also features a rear combination light integrated finisher and a dark chrome grille finisher, while the interior color is a subdued brown.

     As advanced equipment, the “”Intelligent FCW (Forward Collision Warning),”” the first of its kind for a compact SUV, is standard on all grades. Millimeter wave radar mounted in front of the vehicle detects the distance and relative speed of vehicles in front of two vehicles and alerts the driver with a display and alarm if the vehicle is deemed dangerous.

     In addition, the “”Intelligent Around View Monitor”” and “”Intelligent Room Mirror”” are standard equipment on the higher grades.

     The e-POWER electric powertrain installed has evolved to the second-generation version with approximately 5% higher motor output and 7% higher maximum torque.

     The e-POWER is not only more powerful, but also quieter with less frequent engine starts at low speeds and smoother operation of the e-Pedal Step, which allows acceleration and deceleration to be controlled simply by accelerating the gas pedal. The new “”e-Pedal Step”” is equipped with a 2WD transmission.

     In addition to the 2WD model, the e-POWER 4WD model, an electric 4-wheel drive system, is newly available. The system not only improves driving performance by precisely controlling the driving force with electric power, but also enables cornering as desired on winding roads and improves ride comfort in urban areas.

     Prices for the minor-changed Kicks (including consumption tax) start at 2,798,400 yen for the 2WD model and 3,061,300 yen for the 4WD model.

     Now here’s a quiz.

     Which genre of electric vehicle is the aforementioned e-POWER electric powertrain generally classified as?

    1] Series hybrid

    2] Parallel-type hybrid

    3] Electric vehicle (BEV)

    3] BEV (BEV) * * *

     The correct answer is [1], “”series-type hybrid.

     The series hybrid refers to a hybrid system in which the engine generates electricity and the motor drives the tires.

     In addition to e-POWER, Daihatsu’s “”e-SMART HYBRID”” mounted on the “”Rocky”” also falls under the series-type hybrid.

     The new SUNRISE model combines the design concept of the popular “Lakeside” (seating capacity for 3 passengers), one of the most popular models in the SEDONA series, with the ease of use of the “type III” (seating capacity for 6 passengers).

     The base model is the basic Hiace “DX Long Van” with a 4-number standard body and standard roof measuring 4695 mm (L) x 1695 mm (W) x 1980 mm (H), and is available in 2WD gasoline, 2WD gasoline, and 4WD diesel.

     Like the other Sedona series, the stylish interior is unique, using real solid wood (original pine) all the way to the ceiling.

     The Sedona has a seating capacity for six passengers, with three seats in the first row and butterfly seats in the second row with a sliding mechanism that can be extended back and forth.

     The butterfly seats can be arranged in a variety of ways, creating a bed that maximizes interior space, a dinette mode for face-to-face seating, and a transport mode for maximum load capacity.
