New New Jimny

yes it's definitely a sensible alternative to a side by side except for the additional gizmos that it allegedly needs to be a car. More simple equals more better.

I would assume it's the same as the previous Gen4, 350kg unbraked, 1300kg braked and a 75kg towball nose weight. They have only removed the rear seats and classed it as a commercial vehicle to get around the EU emissions.

I was am hoping that because it's a commercial variant that Suzuki have enabled payload offsetting. This is where the manufacturer only stipulate the gross train weight and gross vehicle weight on the registration documents which allows for the payload of the vehicle to be used by the trailer so an empty car will be able to tow a heavier trailer so long as the combination weight is not exceeded. So for example you can tow 1300kg with 4 passengers in the road version and that's it whereas with the van you can tow 1300kg with the van full or say 1500kg if the van is just a driver. If you see what I mean.

We took a look at year old one on Saturday at £26,000 on a dealer forecourt (no, we were not purchasing at that price, we had to look at it to see the "small print" on the screen with the price on it). Salesman was adamant it would sell and seemed reluctant to move on it despite me being interested in buying one ( but not at that price)
