Suzuki iM-4 concept unveiled

Suzuki has a long history of producing small four-wheel drive vehicles. That tradition is continued with the iM-4 concept, which has made its début at the Geneva Motor Show.

Measuring 3,693 mm (12’ 1”) long, 1,709 mm (5’ 7”) wide and 1,566 mm (5’ 2”) tall, it sits on an all-new compact modular platform. The iM-4's elegant styling incorporates a clamshell bonnet, a high belt line, dramatic C-pillars and a rounded roof panel.

Power comes from a 1.2 litre Dualjet petrol engine with SHVS. Those initials stand for Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki, a new 'mild' hybrid system that's designed to be both compact and lightweight. The set-up comprises regenerative braking, an integrated starter-generator and lithium-ion batteries.

The iM-4 could become a long-overdue replacement for the aged Jimny, but Suzuki hasn't confirmed any production plans.
