The Exterior of the Japanese SUV

The design is understated, but at the same time memorable. "Suzuki Jimny", photos of which have already been appreciated by lovers of passable technique remains virtually unchanged since 1998, since the first time I saw the light. During all this time was held only a minor facelift, which resulted in the SUV acquired finite forms.

Externally "Suzuki Jimny" in stark contrast to modern models of SUVs. He remained frame design that has virtually disappeared from most of his classmates. Spar frame "Jimny" is based on rifled bridges. The suspension, however, it is not spring, but the springs do a good job with all the "surprises" off-road life.

And on cross she is hardly a competitor: recessie abyss overcomes in one breath. Compared to the stiff suspension off-road abilities of the jeep seems to be no more than annoying misunderstanding.
