Suzuki, an electric Jimny is coming to Europe

Suzuki presented its new industrial plan in which it announces investments for 4.5 trillion yeni.e. about 32 billion euros until fiscal year 2030. As we had seen, the Japanese automaker had also announced that it would launch 17 new electric models always for that date. Precisely, 6 in Japan, 6 in India and 5 and in Europe.

The interesting news is that shortly afterwards the slides of the presentation of the business plan emerged. In some of these, the Japanese brand has included the “silhouettes” of future electric models that will be launched on the market in the coming years.

With regard to the slide dedicated to the European market, there is a detail that immediately stood out. Indeed, among the battery-powered models that will be brought to the debut there is also the Jimny. There is no technical information and we don’t even know when it will be launched on the market but it seems that the future of the small off-road vehicle is electric. We will certainly know more over the next few months, but after the launch of the 5-door version, the Jimny will still evolve.

As for the other battery-powered models included in the slide, one appears to be an A-segment car with similar dimensions to Japanese Kei-cars. The other 3, on the other hand, look like crossovers/SUVs. One of these could be the production version of the concept recently shown by Suzuki. There will still be a way to find out over time. Suzuki, we recall, wants electric vehicles to represent 80% of its European range by 2030.

Of the 4.5 trillion yen that will be invested, 2 (14 billion euros) will be used for projects related to electrification (including batteries). Plan that will help Suzuki to take new steps forward for become carbon neutral in Japan and Europe by 2050 and in India by 2070.
