Suzuki Jimny leaves Europe after failing to comply with the standards

The new emission limitations imposed upon EU countries since 2021 make it impossible for Suzuki to sell its compact SUV Jimny there anymore, the company reports.

Meanwhile, the car enjoys a steady market demand throughout Europe, with 16,605 units sold there in 2019 – a 50% bump from 2017.

The Suzuki Jimny ships with a 1.5-liter petrol engine as the only option. Its average CO2 emissions amount to 154 g/km with manual transmission and rise to 170 g/km with automatic. Starting in 2021, this indicator will have to stay below 95 g/km measured among all cars sold by the brand.

Great Britain was the first to act, the dealerships there no longer taking orders for the Jimny.
