Urban Car winner at the London Motor and Tech Show

To qualify for the initial World Urban Car judging process, vehicles had to be less than four metres long, suitable in design for everyday use in an urban environment and also on sale across two Continents by the deadline of Spring 2019. At just 3.64 metres in length, the Jimny easily qualifed and was shortlisted as a top three finalist in both Urban and Design categories in March of this year.

Mike Rutherford Juror & Co-Chairman, World Car Awards Programme comments:

'Once again, Suzuki is punching well above its weight in the World Car Awards. As the just announced winner of the World Urban Car of the Year prize, the Jimny beat off stiff competition from its German and South Korean rivals and Suzuki is the only Japanese manufacturer to win a coveted World Car trophy in 2019. This should worry the larger, wealthier car companies of Japan.'

As our 80-plus jurors have decided and I have long suspected, Suzuki builds some of the finest small cars on the planet. Its worth noting that since 2017, Ignis, Swift and Jimny have all made it to final top three for World Urban Car and Suzuki is the only brand to achieve this status'.

Jimny is powered by a 101PS 1.5-litre petrol engine and is fitted with ALLGRIP PRO selectable four wheel drive with low transfer gear as standard equipment.

Local Suzuki dealer group, Glyn Hopkin, with branches in Buckhurst Hill, Watford and also Cambridge are exhibiting five examples from the range at the show including the recently launched Swift Attitude and best selling Vitara model. Glyn Hopkin is a long established dealer group having first opened for business in 1993.

The London Motor and Tech show is being held at ExCeL and opens to the press at 2.00pm today with public days commencing from tomorrow 17th May running through to Sunday 19th May.
