Suzuki Jimny To Be Axed In The UK By 2021

The new generation Suzuki Jimny was introduced in the UK in 2018, but it won't be on sale for long. It turns out that the stringent emission regulations for the UK aren't really something the new Jimny can comply with in the future, and that will leave Suzuki with no choice but to discontinue the model by 2021. The decision emerges as Maruti Suzuki, the company's Indian subsidiary is evaluating launching the model here and even showcased the off-roader at the 2020 Auto Expo back in February.

The problem lies with the fact that the current generation Suzuki Jimny emits about 154g/km from its 1.5-litre petrol engine, which is well above the average limit of 95g/km that the Suzuki fleet will have to meet in the future. This figure is for the manual version of the SUV, and goes higher at 170g/km for the automatic transmission version.

Suzuki Jimny axed from Europe over emissions regulations

Suzuki has confirmed that the Jimny off-roader will be removed from the European market later this year.

The Japanese manufacturer has stated that UK dealer supply will cease in the coming months, citing more stringent EU emissions regulations as the SUV’s cause of death.

Earlier this year, Suzuki said the Jimny would remain on sale in “very limited numbers” during 2020 and that the car would be pulled from the market in 2021. However, this date has been pulled forward, following the EU ruling that all car makers must ensure their vehicles emit no more than 95g/km of CO2, as an average across their fleet.

Exemptions exist for low-volume manufacturers and there are concessions such as super credits, which reward brands for selling pure electric cars. Car makers that produce heavier vehicles are also allowed to have higher fleet average emissions than those that produce light cars.

The Jimny’s relatively high CO2 emissions of between 154 and 170g/km, coupled with its low mass of 1,135kg, mean it's the latest car to fall foul of the regulations. This trend is one that also threatens Europe’s small-car market as a whole. The future of city cars looks increasingly shaky as firms struggle to balance high emissions and low kerb weights against the disproportionately expensive development costs and low profit margins of small cars.
