Jimny LCV availability (UK)

Something is happening. The other week was the end of the Suzuki financial year and a number of dealers got a "random" Jimny delivered. Some were delivered on the last day itself and the accompanying phone call from above told them to sell it immediately that day. So somehow they had some Jimnys that were under the radar.  Now there is a forecast appeared that show that close on 2000 jimnys will arrive over the next two quarters, with previous years limited to around 400-500 per year this means the forecast for the next six months is close to the total already arrived since the jimny has launched!!!!.

If this volume is arriving then my random, uninformed forecast is:

1. Prices will drop to near list at dealers (already seen a few more at list recently)
2. New model for next year???

 

I would have thought a little bit early for a complete new model ie Gen.3 to Gen.4 so maybe a freshen up?

Long term product plan includes Electric Jimny possibly from 2024. Is this related to EV.

yes, EV is what it might hint at. The shear volumes of vitaras, S-cross and Jimnys planned look like a clearance sale

This sounds like typical Suzuki! When hype over the new Jimny was at its maximum and they could have really cashed in on it the cars trickled in. Now that things have calmed down they flood the market and dealers will probably be struggling to shift all the cars.

What is the list price supposed to be out of interest, does anyone know?
