Yesterday I was at the nearby Suzuki dealer here in Brazil to get new tyres on my Jimny and I took some pictures of the last editions of 3rd gens being sold (perhaps the last brand new, 2022 model year 3rd gens in the world?).
New Brazilian legislation on emissions will come into effect by mid-2022 and due to that HPE, the Brazilian manufacturer who domestically assembles 3rd gen Jimnys, will put an end to their production line and stick only to importing JB74, Vitara and S-Cross models. Most people from abroad seem to be unaware you could still buy a brand new 3rd gen!

- "New" Jimny for sale, "4sport" trim that includes some aesthetic mods plus a snorkel.
- Pre-owned Jimny for sale in a limited edition that was sold a while ago, called "Desert". All the accessories shown came as factory standard: snorkel, rocksliders, roof luggage basket and rear towing point. For this edition the frame coil and shock mounts were modified (lowered) for a body lift - a poor decision in my opinion, the coils and shocks remained the same (I have also heard of some drivers complaining about body wobble under specific road driving conditions, which perhaps could be related to that).
