Suzuki never took orders. Dealers took orders despite Suzuki saying not to.
There is a reduced volume of Jimnys next year, reduced below the current low amount. Therefore any guarantees from Suzuki to dealers such as "1 per month" or whatever are out the window. Some cars will turn up as and when.
As all options are dealer fit apart from paint, there is no such thing as a Suzuki pack. They either mean it has a paint option or is auto. Everything else is fitted by them so they are trying it on.
Having said that, due to the shortage, if you want one and know where there is one you may regret passing over the opportunity.

it would be nice if Suzuki GB would do a press release and say exactly what is happening next year so people could make a decision to stay on a list or move on.
I don't think it would be in the dealers interest for Suzuki GB to press release details of shortages. We already know that as there are so few about. As long as customers are walking into showrooms cars will be sold ( not necessarily Suzukis).
My dealer tried to sell me a 4WD Ignis, good car and perhaps if circumstances had been different...

i've been on a list at a dealer since September for an SZ4. i rang up recently to catch up and check if there was any news only to be told my order was being cancelled.
Suzuki apparently are cancelling all orders to the EU. That is what this particular dealer said. They also offered me their White SZ5 68 plate demo at an inflated price
i rang Suzuki UK and spoke to the help line whom knew nothing.
so i rang a different dealer close by to check the 'cancelled story' . The second dealer told me it is partially true but Suzuki might restart orders in 2021+ and then said they had two brand new SZ5's in their group stock (unregistered) however with a 'Suzuki pack' costing £1,800 extra.
so i'm totally confused. is this true? is this a underhand technique to pressure sales from people?
Any hints on which dealer has 2 unregistered one...please?
Yes but they are dealer fit, sound strange they are forcing them on buyers. Are they actually demonstrators or press cars?
