Jimny Hybrid coming???

A viable rumour has surfaced which shows the K15 engine already has a mild hybrid version available so should be a shoe-in for the Jimny and will be in-line with the Suzuki policy of all electric based fleet.

This will be in the same shell though, it's not going to be a move to a crossover with the same name eg the defender?

A hybrid Jimny would fantastic Martin, I hope they do it and bring it to the UK. I might even be tempted to put my name down for one.

Don't understand this move myself, what's the benefit?
 Its sale still potentially gets banned in 2030 (unless this changes), and doing nothing achieves the same. Please don't try to tell me a mild hybrid is saving the planet 
Is the commercial tab an issue with emerging ULEZ? They tend to charge commercial but private are exempt????
I don't know, but I do believe they should be going full electric instead of messing around.

When I bought mine a few months ago I originally wanted a new one and was told by the dealer the story about the emissions, they told me if I wanted a four seater then I would have to wait till 2024 when the hybrid would be launched?
I couldn’t wait that long for my new toy and as they say the rest is history.

If I have to wait till 2024 I would pick the Toyota. This just sounded the death of the Jimny commercial as any investment in a new vehicle. With tighter ULEZ zones that will only get tougher.
