AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/14 Report--

For an enthusiast who likes off-road vehicles, perhaps feel that Wrangler, Mercedes-Benz G such models are out of reach, in contrast, Suzuki Jimny, known for its small size, also has a hard-core off-road design, and the price is relatively low, the starting price of 140,000 also captures a lot of off-road powder.

However, Suzuki Jimny has been listed overseas since last year, and there has been no official channel at home, so it has not been able to sell. However, it has recently been reported that Jimny has recently passed the national 3C certification, which means that the new Jimny will be able to start selling in China in the form of parallel imports.

From various online channels, it is known that the new Jimny is asking for about 300,000 yuan, which is just a small SUV model sold at the beginning of 140,000 yuan, but now the price after parallel import has doubled, which does not let many netizens marvel. The price of 300,000 yuan in the country has a "wide variety" of medium-sized SUV to choose from, and how many people will buy such a "toy", I do not know whether it is IQ tax or feelings priceless.

The shape design of the new Jimny is a little close to the design of the big G. Although the wheelbase is very short, it adopts the non-load-bearing body design. With the four-wheel drive system, it can be said that it still has a hard off-road strong foundation. The engine carried is increased from the original 1.3L to 1.5L. Inheriting the family car tradition of more than 20 years, the new DE Jimny has a strong off-road escape ability, otherwise it would not be called "Civilian G".

Although the design of this generation of Jimny has become more "tough" and fashionable enough, it is now priced at 280,000 yuan, in exchange for only a price without a market. It is not difficult to choose a stronger off-road product than Jimny at such a price range. Once it jumps out of Jimny's value circle, it will lose its competitiveness. However, it is worth mentioning that the car has a very high residual value rate, 10-year-old vehicles can generally reach more than 50%. Obviously niche models can only be accepted by niche groups.
