Suzuki to launch 4th gen Jimny in Pakistan


 Pak Suzuki Motor Company is all set to introduce the 4th generation of Jimny in Pakistan which was first launched in Japan last year.

Suzuki Jimny is currently available in its 3rdgeneration model in the local market of Pakistan. It was launched globally back in 1998, which makes it a two-decade-old model. This 3rd gen model was discontinued internationally in 2018 as the production for the next-gen model begun in Japan. Note here that the first-ever model of Jimny was produced a long time back in 1970.

Suzuki Jimny 3rd gen

As per our credible sources, Suzuki has now decided to launch 4th gen Jimny in the Pakistani market. It will hit the roads in the coming few months. The 3rd generation Jimny currently available is an old-school shaped small jeep powered by a 4-cylinder 1328 ccpetrol engine coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission. It produces a maximum torque of 110 Nm at 4500 rpm and is termed as part-time 4WD. The 3-door vehicle doesn’t possess any advanced safety and luxury features, i.e., central locking system, steering adjustment, power door locks, power windows, ABS brakes, airbags, etc. It only comes with standard features like the air-conditioning system and power steering. It has a seating capacity of 4 persons. It comes with front disc brakes whereas drum brakes are installed at the rear side. In the local market, it’s priced at Rs.26.18 lac (ex-factory) which is not competitive as compared to other vehicles in this segment.

On the other hand, the all-new 4th gen Jimnyis a completely redesigned unit and offers much more than its older version. Pak Suzuki is expected to only introduce Jimny in the newly developed K15B 1.5-liter 4-cylinder 1462 cc petrol engine which can produce a maximum torque of 138 Nm at 440 rpm. It’s more of a retro-styled vehicle with a boxy design that indicates a solid look. It also features a clam-shell bonnet with round-shaped headlamps integrated with the turn signals. The front bumper is quite prominent, which gives it a muscular look to travel on the off-road adventures. The interior also looks quite modernized as compared to the previous model.

The fourth-generation Jimny was unveiled at PIMS 2018 for its launch in the Philippine market. It was also displayed at several auto shows held in 2018 as it made its debut in various markets around the world. The auto manufacturer is now planning to bring it to the local market, which is certainly good news for the consumers. However, it will be interesting to see the introductory price of 4thgeneration Jimny in Pakistan as it has always been an overpriced vehicle in the country. According to the sources, it will be a completely built unit (CBU) of Jimny, which will hit the roads in the coming months.

Stay with Carware for any update in this particular story. Let us know your expectations regarding the fourth generation of Suzuki Jimny in Pakistan.

The  Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP)  has issued over  58,622  tickets on several traffic rules violations that sum up to a total fine amount of  Rs.10.29 million  during the current calendar year 2019. According to a senior official of ITP, the department had started a special campaign in May 2019 to impose fines on the traffic rules violators, which resulted in a collection of a huge amount of revenue. The most common traffic rules violations observed were led by not wearing a helmet while riding a motorbike and non-fastening of seat belts while driving. It was followed by the use of mobile phone while driving, over-speeding of vehicles, and frequent change of lanes while driving.

A total of 27,609 tickets were issued on not wearing a helmet, thus resulting in the c...
