It's finally here! The new look Suzuki Jimny and it's everything we could have expected ...

THE FIRST LOOK OF THE NEW SUZUKI JIMNY WAS AVAILABLE TO MELBOURNE ONLOOKERS AS IT WAS DEBUTED AROUND THE CITY’S STREETS IN MID-NOVEMBER!

Suzuki Australia created the marketing campaign on the company’s Facebook page, in the hopes that it would trend with the assistance of their 182,000 followers.

To encourage their follower’s engagement, Suzuki urged the online community to snap a photo of the vehicle and to hashtag their selfies with #SuzukiSelfie in order to go in a draw to win a $500 voucher.

Many enthusiasts thus took to the streets, snapping photos and sharing their excitement with everyone on the Facebook page.

One Suzuki contestant, Andrew Turland said, “I spotted it, almost skid to a stop and parked illegally to get a look. Suddenly the lights flashed, we were being watched (whilst) checking it out. The Suzuki Australia boss man was happy to chat and let me sit in the driver’s seat. One happy, soon to be Jimmy 2019 owner.”

The Suzuki Jimny is set to be released in 2019, featuring a boxier design which will suit the rugged driving terrain that is the Aussie landscape.

The hype on this newly released model is often referred to as the worst kept secret because of the number media leaks it’s had leading up to the official reveal.

Despite this, Suzuki Australia’s General Manager Michael Pachota has suggested that due to the online hype, it is expected to be a virtual success.

Mrs Pachota said, “We would expect [to sell] at least 7 times what we saw with the previous model.”
