Jimny to be cut from uk/eu market?

The UK will still be signatories to the Paris climate change agreement, so we might find that the UK is surprisingly aligned with EU legislation in years to come.

Agreed. The UK is going to mirror the EU's laws when it comes to emmisions and climate change so nothing is really going to change in that regard.

I don't think the Jimny will be back any time soon tbh. They can't make enough of them for the far East and Australia and the car is about to launch in India as well.

My dealer thinks the new engine 'is still a long way off'. By that, I think he means a few years away. Looks like the switch to a commercial vehicle in the EU/UK is likely in about 6 months, (ie. June), with dealers having the option to fit a rear seat kit. The effect on supply and the relative costs of the commercial Jimny + rear seat kit are unknown.

So the road tax will jump from £145 to £260?

I reckon we will be nailed on road tax or some kind of emission tax in the very near future!! I was speaking to a french dude yesterday who said they get taxed around 4 grand on the jimny, NO KIDDING #!*^##!!!!!

My own personal opinion from picking up bits of info.

I think the Gen4 saloon will disappear in early 2021 and never re-appear in that form. The Van version will give Suzuki a small commercial rival to the Bippa etc. The 1.5 petrol saloon will be a rare beast.

Next year, Suzuki will sell a badged Corolla and Rav4 specifically for Hybrid/Electric, this is because the current Suzuki sourced range which is "hybrid" is actually very low hybrid capability.

The Jimny name will not disappear, we will eventually see a Gen5 or "Grand Jimny" which will not be an evolution from the current range (LJ-SJ-Jimny3-Jimny4 is a clear chassis/solid axle DNA) but will be something totally different underneath (electric/hybrid) but will be years away and may even be another badged Toyota. It could be that the Rav4 is the "Grand Jimny".
