Would You Pay P 1.145M For A Two-Seater Suzuki Jimny?

Late last year, Suzuki showed off a two-seater Jimny. Meant to circumvent the stricter emissions standards in Europe for passenger cars, this new Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) will be made available in very small numbers and will be priced at £ 16,796 or around P 1.145 million in the U.K.

Powered exclusively by electrons rather than dinosaur juice, it matches the future direction of every single carmaker on the planet.

What’s in a name? A name may reveal more than just a unique designation. Oftentimes, it also reveals a path for the future.
