Suzuki Jimny Special Edition revealed for France limited to just 55 units
The Suzuki Jimny is a global icon for the automaker that has been sold for 55 years. Celebrating this legacy, Suzuki has introduced a limited edition version of the Jimny 3-door in France. The Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Limited Edition is restricted to just 55 units in the French market. But more importantly, it marks the departure of the Jimny not only from France but also from Europe.
The Suzuki Jimny has been off the shelves in Europe for a while now due to stricter emission regulations. The model made a comeback briefly, positioned as a commercial vehicle (without rear seats), but was discontinued in Germany as well as other parts of Europe by mid-2024. This makes the new limited edition Jimny all the more special, and a true collector's item for enthusiasts of the little off-roader.
