First UK official pictures, I know you have seen them around the net but the excitement is that these are official UK released so the anticipation is real.

Great pics Martin. I am going to act like an ignoramus now but is this front wheel drive with selectable four wheel drive.
Do we have any dimensions available?

I have not seen any dimensions but looking at the chassis it looks almost identical to the current model. I would guess that there are some dimension changes as it has to meet new safety standards.

The transmission is classic jimny. Rear wheel drive with part time 4WD selection. A leaked picture shows a manual transfer lever so the electric change appears to have gone. Whilst the purists will love it, I think the high street market would expect permanent 4WD such as an Alldrive transmission. I hope for jimny sales that they do offer that in some markets.

PS I can see what you mean about FWD but perhaps the prop is not fitted as there are definitely other bits missing from the picture anyway
