Last year, Suzuki Philippines gave car lovers a chance to admire and even drive the all-new Suzuki Jimny 2019. Now it is time for the carmaker to completely show off the much-awaited Jimny, officially.
According to the latest car news, Suzuki PH has made an announcement that the new Jimny will make its debut on March 8, 2019 and its official prices in the Philippines will be also revealed that day.
Although details of the car haven’t been unveiled yet, it is highly likely that the Suzuki Jimny 2019 will be almost the same as the unit shown at the Philippine International Motor Show 2018. It is armed with a 1,5L K15B inline-four powertrain which works in a conjunction with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. It is driven by the standard All-Grip Pro four-wheel drive.
