Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition Unveiled; Here's What's Special
The Suzuki Jimny is slowly moving towards the end of its production in Europe. This is because of the strict emission standards, because of which the lifestyle SUV has already been discontinued in Germany and the EU in mid-2024. With this latest version, the SUV is returning for a short while, but only in France. This is in the form of a limited production unit called the Jimny 55th Anniversary. The production of this version will be limited to 55 units in France.
The special edition celebrates 55 years of Jimny with aesthetic upgrades. Additionally, it gets multiple exclusive feature upgrades over the standard version. It is to be noted that the model is based on the iteration of the vehicle sold in the French market. To top it off, the consumers in France will also get 4x4 training to improve their off-road skills and fully utilise the Jimny.
