Frankfurt Motor Show - While the future of the tiny-but-tough Jimny remains uncertain, this concept car shows where Suzuki's small SUV future is headed.
The iV4 concept, which previews a production model that will go on sale in 2015, puts a modern slant on traditional Suzuki design elements like the clamshell bonnet and five-slot grille.
The production model is likely to compete with compact pavement hoppers like the Nissan Juke and Ford EcoSport and it's likely to boast similar dimensions to the concept, which is 4215mm long, 1850mm wide and 1665mm tall.
Suzuki describes the iV4 as an "SUV for the present day" which means it's likely built around a modern unibody structure, unlike the more rugged Jimny.
The company hasn't gone into detail about its mechanical features, but they do mention an 'AllGrip' four-wheel drive system, which will give it "off-road performance that goes beyond a typical city SUV."
It sure has big shoes to fill.
