Big gap in the market now for a small affordable capable 4x4s Toyota's original RAV 4 was pretty close to a "small affordable capable 4x4", but they chose to grow it and hybridise/electrify it and move away from that market. The Jimny is a good vehicle in it's own 'niche', but it's quite a restricted niche. They appear to be continuing to develop EV/Hybrids for the Australian market, so maybe they will come here in time. Suggestion at present is that they are doing well there https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/suzuki-jimny-ute-hybrid-and-ev-coming-146538/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's certainly a gap for a small 4x4, unfortunately emissions and safety regulations have forced up the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
