The popular Suzuki Jimny lives on, with the Japanese firm now offering the diminutive off-roader in a two-seater light commercial version, as we revealed in September 2020.

Designed for a utilitarian audience, the Jimny LCV sees the rear seats of the passenger version replaced with a flat floor and cargo partition, creating an off-road capable van with an 863-litre payload capacity.

Little else changes, with the beloved Jimny retaining the same uncompromising off-roading essentials, including its ladder frame chassis, the impressive approach, departure and breakover angles, three-link rigid axle suspension and Suzuki’s Allgrip Pro four-wheel-drive system.

Safety kit is carried over to the LCV version too, with the model coming equipped with automatic emergency braking, hill hold and descent control to support driving on slopes, and an eCall emergency messaging function that operates automatically following a collision.
