    New Suzuki Jimny 5-door is officially unveiled!

    Finally, the new Suzuki Jimny 5-door is officially unveiled! What has changed with exclusive equipment? Thorough explanation of the details!

    We’ve been waiting for it! What are the features of the Jimny 5-door?
     Finally, the new Suzuki Jimny 5-door has made its debut.The world premiere was held by Maruti Suzuki (Suzuki’s local subsidiary in India) at the AUTO EXPO 2023 in India.This is the interior and exterior of the Jimny 5 Door! See the official Suzuki images that everyone has been waiting for .

    Here it comes! The new Jimny 5-door has finally made its world premiere in India!Production of the Jimny will begin in India in November 2020, with exports to Africa and Latin America.After that, it was decided to deliver a long body (3-door?) version of the Jimny for the Indian Army, and the civilian version of the Jimny, the Jimny 5-door, was expected to follow.The author also caught wind of its existence around 2019 and has informed this site several times, but it was difficult to grasp it as a reality.

     In the Japanese market, many people were holding off on buying a Jimny Sierra or Jimny waiting for the 5-door to appear, and many users may have been numb to the fact that it did not appear easily.From the latter half of 2021, a lot of information about the Jimny 5-door began to appear, mainly in the foreign media, and it was certain that it would be announced at AUTO EXPO 2023, the first large-scale auto show in 2023.

     There was a lot of speculation about the specifications of the Jimny 5-door, and I was also expecting some variation in the power unit, but after opening the door, I found that it is a very legitimate model.

     First of all, the body size has been extended by 340 mm in both length and wheelbase. The wheelbase is the same width as that of the Sierra, and the height is 10 mm lower than the Sierra at 1,720 mm.

     The three angles have been reduced to 24 degrees only for the ramp breakover due to the lengthening.However, the ground angle has only been reduced by 4 degrees, so it does not seem that the rough road drivability has worsened that much.
    The power unit that has been the focus of attention is the K15B 1.5-liter straight-4 engine, a slide from the Sierra. The output is 104.8ps/134.2N/m, a slight improvement over the Sierra. The gear ratios may also have been revised.

     The powertrain is also diverted, and a part-time 4WD with a sub-transfer is used.

     Like the Jimny Sierra, the transfer is switched by a manual lever, and a brake LSD traction control system is included to support diagonal stacks.Finally, the new Suzuki Jimny 5-door is officially unveiled! What has changed with exclusive equipment? Thorough explanation of the details! What’s the difference between 5-door and 3-door? What are the small but surprising parts & points of concern?
     Of course, the chassis is the same, with a ladder frame structure and front and rear 3-link rigid-axle suspension.

     However, the photo of the ladder frame presented at the show shows that a new cross member has been added behind the conventional X-member, indicating that the ladder frame has been sufficiently reinforced to cope with the increased weight. The propeller shaft is also thicker than that of the short-body model.One exterior difference from the Jimny Sierra can be seen in the front grille, which is now decorated.It has a glossy paint finish and chrome around the vertical slit openings.Incidentally, a new red body color has been added to the Indian version.

     The color variation will probably change when the model is launched in Japan, but it seems likely that red will remain as a new image color.The interior is almost the same as the Sierra. One major difference is in one place: the audio space located in the center of the instrument panel has been enlarged and a 22.86 cm touch display has been installed.In conjunction with this, there are new control switches in the steering wheel.

    Ease of use has also increased! The new Suzuki Jimny 5-door with increased overall length.The overall impression is that there were no surprising topics.The design is not out of the realm of the world view of the Jimny, just that the body has been extended.However, looking at the rear door openings again, I am concerned that it may be difficult to get in and out of the car when they are so wide over the wheel arches.However, considering that the body has been newly extended by 340 mm, not only can four people ride in the car securely, but also the load capacity, which has been unpopular among leisure travelers, has been dramatically improved.

     Expectations are also high for the ease of sleeping in the car when it is fully flat.It is clearly better suited for leisure use than the Jimny and Jimny Sierra, and is sure to be a big hit once again, replacing the short-body models that have been difficult to obtain in the past.Although no release date or price has been announced for Japan, it is expected to go on sale in India in 2023, and is expected to be introduced in Japan in 2024 at the earliest.

    Honda’s compact car the Fit is one of the company’s main models

    Honda’s compact car, the Fit, is one of the company’s main models. Despite its small body, it has a spacious interior and a refined design, making it popular and even surpassing Toyota’s Corolla in annual sales in Japan in 2002. However, its popularity declined after the fourth generation was released in February 2020, and it disappeared from the top 5 sales ranking in September of that year. In contrast to Honda’s popular light passenger car, the N-BOX, the Fit received a minor change in October 2022, improving its safety features and exterior design. The Fit first appeared in 2001 as a next-generation basic car, achieving remarkable sales of 200,000 units in less than a year due to its new design, spacious interior, and fuel economy. The second generation was introduced in 2007 with a hybrid version.

    Is this the “Juke GT-R”? Will “R” be realized even with the new model ?

    “Is this the “”Juke GT-R””? Will the “”R”” still be a reality in the new model April 2, 2022, 5:00 p.m.

    Nissan has created a spartan hardcore model, the Juke R, for the first-generation Juke, and we have made a big design prediction with high hopes that it will be introduced in the second generation.

    The first-generation Juke was introduced in 2010. The second generation was launched in Europe in 2019, but was replaced in the U.S. and Japanese markets by the Kicks, which was not introduced as the Juke.

    The Juke R, introduced in the first generation, is a crazy SUV model tuned based on the VR38DETT engine used in Nissan’s world-class GT-R supercar and boosted to a maximum output of 545 hp.

    The “”R”” predicted for the new Juke model features aggressive styling with thick fenders, an angular rear end, and a bold front end. The major changes compared to the base model are concentrated at the front and rear, with the new R featuring a new, taller and sportier front bumper, air intakes in a gap adjacent to the black foglight housings under the headlights and LED daytime running lights, and a central air intake The grille has been enlarged to the grille, greatly increasing its intimidation factor.

    On the sides, thicker side skirts are fitted, and at the rear, the roof spoiler has been replaced by a circular roof-mounted wing. At the bottom, a large circular quad exhaust pipe was installed on the newly designed bumper, and a diffuser was placed. It is quite exciting.

    On February 28, Nissan launched the Juke Hybrid with a newly developed hybrid system, which is powered by a 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors. The company is also rumored to be working on an electric version of the GT-R, and if the Juke R is set for the new model, there may be a surprise in the form of its electric powertrain being diverted.”
