Suzuki Jimny Special Edition revealed for France limited to just 55 units
The Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition is exclusively available in France and brings cosmetic enhancements to the off-roader Check Offers The Suzuki Jimny is a global icon for the automaker that has been sold for 55 years. Celebrating this legacy, Suzuki has introduced a limited edition version of the Jimny 3-door in France. The Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Limited Edition is restricted to just 55 units in the French market. But more importantly, it marks the departure of the Jimny not only from France but also from Europe. The Suzuki Jimny has been off the shelves in Europe for a while now due to stricter emission regulations. The model made a comeback briefly, positioned as a commercial vehicle (without rear seats), but was discontinued in Germany as well as other parts of Europe by mid-2024. This makes the new limited edition Jimny all the more special, and a true collector's item for enthusiasts of the little off-roader.

The Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Limited Edition pays tribute to over three million units sold of the off-roader globally in the last 55 years. The special offering gets a different grille inspired by the old-school Jimny, and is identical to the Jimny Horizon announced for Germany last year, to mark its farewell. Other upgrades include retro side decals, the soft Rhino spare wheel cover, and mudflaps with the Jimny logo in red behind the wheels. The cabin gets rubber floor mats in the passenger compartment and the boot space. There's a logbook with an embossed leather cover to record your memories, and a matching key chain. Customers of the limited edition Jimny also get 4x4 training to improve their off-road skills. The Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition will draw power from the familiar 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine tuned for 101 bhp Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition: Colours Each of the 55 Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Editions will be numbered and feature a commemorative plaque at the base of the centre console. The model will be available in four body colours - White, Jungle Green, Bluish Black, and Medium Gray. The limited edition Suzuki Jimny is based on the Privilège variant in France, and is equipped with air conditioning, heated seats, a Bluetooth audio system, lane departure and lane change warning, auto high beam control, traffic sign recognition, and more. 55 lucky customers who get their hands on the Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition will also receive off-road training Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition: Specifications Powering the off-roader is the familiar 1.5-litre petrol engine that churns out 101 bhp, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Power goes to all four wheels via the AllGrip Pro all-wheel drive system with a transfer case and short shift throws. The off-roader offers an approach angle of 37 degrees, a departure angle of 49 degrees, and a landing angle of 28 degrees. Suzuki France opened bookings for the Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition earlier this month, and deliveries are set to commence towards the end of June. The company has not confirmed if all the limited edition units have been spoken for. Check out Upcoming Cars in India 2024, Best SUVs in India. First Published Date: 20 Jun 2025, 15:31 PM IST

‘It Works:' Woman Shares How to Find Out if Furniture Fits in Your Car—Before You Buy From Facebook Marketplace
A woman says ChatGPT is your best friend for finding out whether an online furniture find will fit in your ride. Earlier this week, Gabriella Caruso (@gabxcaruso) revealed how she incorporates artificial intelligence in her online shopping ventures. Her advice could save you the trouble of having to phone a friend with a pickup truck or rent something to haul your purchase in. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . As of this writing, Caruso's TikTok has accrued over 70,000 views. ChatGPT + Facebook Marketplace Online retail hubs like Facebook Marketplace can offer great secondhand deals. A pro tip is to set your location to areas where a lot of remodeling is going on, such as neighborhoods in the process of gentrification. But once you find that perfect office chair, you typically have to go pick it up. Even with measurements, it can be difficult to be absolutely certain it'll fit in your vehicle. Caruso says artificial intelligence (AI), specifically ChatGPT, offers a perfect solution. She claims that the popular AI software will tell you if that Herman Miller chair will fit in your brand new Suzuki Jimny . 'My most genius ChatGPT hack that I've never heard anyone talk about is when you're buying furniture on Facebook Marketplace,' Caruso says. 'Put the dimensions of the furniture, along with your car's make and model into ChatGPT.' She says that after a quick scan of available data pertaining to both the furniture and the specific vehicle, the AI 'will tell you whether it'll fit or not.' According to her, this method has saved her a lot of legwork trying to figure out if she needs a specialized vehicle to haul secondhand items she buys online. 'It works every single time,' she says. Best Vehicles for Hauling Furniture ChatGPT may offer a helpful solution to 'will it fit' woes, but there are some basic guidelines that can give you an idea of whether something will fit without resorting to AI. Certain vehicle types and styles simply fit things better. Obviously, pickup trucks are first on the list. Large SUVs come second, followed by smaller SUVs and crossovers. Taller vehicles also typically can fit larger items than their shorter counterparts. Similarly, hatchbacks and fastbacks are likely to fit more than many sedans. And a sedan that has a backseat you can lie down to make the passenger compartment and trunk a single space will logically fit more than one without this capability. If you're still not sure, you may want to ask ChatGPT . ChatGPT and Cars Car enthusiasts and average drivers alike are increasingly turning to ChatGPT for assistance. Yahoo reports that prospective buyers can use it to find the best automotive deals in their area with the program. The outlet recommends inputting a budget, car models, and necessary features in your query. You can also ask it to scan for any timely and pertinent incentives and rebates. And you can have it scan for dealerships within the vicinity of a specific area. Trending Now 'I Bet You Didn't Know This:' Woman Discovers This Little-Known Perk to Driving A Subaru.

It also suggests using the software to consider finance rates. In a similar vein, USA Today reports that online car sellers like Edmunds and CarGurus have ChatGPT plugins. It assists potential customers with selecting vehicles that suit their needs. A Better Way Than Showing Up and Hoping for the Best Caruso's advice to use ChatGPT to see if something will fit in your car was met with widespread praise. 'I AUDIBLY GASPED AT HOW SMART THIS IS,' one wrote. Another laughingly compared her method to the way they pick up furniture, writing, 'This is so smart!! Personally, I just show up and hope for the best.' 'This is actually life changing advice thank you,' a third said. One person offered their own advice on getting furniture delivered in a pinch. 'If it doesn't fit, order an Uber XL to deliver it to you :) I've done this a few times!' Yet another said they tried it and it works. 'Dude I love doing this and I'm not even kidding it is so accurate,' they wrote. 'My desk fit in my man's car with ONE CENTIMETER TO SPARE. IT WAS SO CLOSE TO NOT FITTING.'

Suzuki Jimny joins NSW Police Force, obviously not for high-speed pursuits
Even after around six years on the Australian market, the current-generation Suzuki Jimny still gets looks – and that's part of the reason it has joined the NSW Police Force. Affectionately referred to as Sergeant Jim, this liveried version of the more practical five-door Jimny XL – which was launched here late in 2023 – has joined the Lake Macquarie Police Crime Prevention Unit (LMCPU). Sergeant Jim has joined the force 'to enhance and promote community engagement with the NSW Police Force at various school and community events across the police district'. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. It's part of a sponsorship agreement with Suzuki Australia, which makes clear the vehicle comes at no cost to the community. 'Sergeant Jim is more than just a vehicle, it's a conversation starter,' said Suzuki Australia general manager Michael Pachota. 'In times when national crime rates are a topic of discussion, we saw an opportunity to contribute positively at a local level.' The Crime Prevention Unit works to prevent, disrupt and respond to crime across the Lake Macquarie Police District, which covers approximately 648 square kilometres and has a growing population of over 221,000 residents. 'Sergeant Jim's livery will hopefully be a great conversation starter while on display and get more people, especially younger people, comfortable with approaching their local police,' said Lake Macquarie Police District Commander, Superintendent Tracy Chapman. 'The purchase of this vehicle comes at no cost to the community thanks to the generosity of Suzuki Australia in providing this vehicle for our community engagement activities.' This isn't the same Tracy Chapman who sang about having a Fast Car, as the Jimny XL is anything but. In CarExpert instrumented testing, we recorded a 0-100km/h time of 14.27 seconds in an automatic Jimny XL. Of course, this police version of the iconic compact off-roader isn't intended as a pursuit vehicle, but rather a rolling billboard of sorts for officers looking to connect with the community and prevent crime. Given its cute looks, this liveried Jimny XL appears well suited to that role.
