Since 2025 Suzuki in Europe will no longer sell the small model Ignis, hatchbacks Swace and SUVs Jimny, therefore not in Germany either. The Japanese manufacturer thus decided to take into account the new, stricter limit values CO2, which are prescribed by the European Union from 2025.
Suzuki in practice reduces the European reach of its petrol, mild hybrid and full hybrid models, in order to avoid the inevitable penalties for exceeding the new emission limits. The new average value that will apply from 2025 is 93,6g/100km WLTP CO2 compared to the previous one 95,0 g/km NEDC. That's why the Jimny, which for some time has only been available as a commercial vehicle without rear seats, must die. As a farewell, a richly equipped special model has already been announced in Germany Jimny Horizon.

This one is in recent years created its own niche fans. However, his initially 140 and later mildly hybridized 129 hp negatively affects the average CO2 emissions of the model series. Remember that Suzuki is not alone in calculating the CO2 emissions of its cars in Europe, but is on average with the range Mazda, Subaru in Toyota, which all manufacturers committed to the electrification of their models.
