The Suzuki Jimny Nomade with four doors turned out to be incredibly popular with Japanese buyers, forcing the automaker to temporarily suspend orders. The demand was so overwhelming that the automaker had no choice but to temporarily stop orders, because the flow of requests far exceeds their ability to follow production.

Only four days after announcing the launch of the Jimny Nomade in Japan, Suzuki was already looking at the barrel of 50,000 amazing orders. Given that production production for Japan is currently capped at a modest 1,200 units per month, buyers can expect to wait approximately three and a half years before the arrival of their new all-terrain.

In an article on its official website, Suzuki presented the following apologies to the potential buyers taken in this backwards:

“We apologize to customers who plan to buy the Jimny Nomad due to the suspension of orders. Thank you very much for your interest in our products. The Jimny Nomad has been very well received and we have received orders which far exceed our production capacity. Consequently, we will temporarily suspend orders. We will provide updates at the moment when orders will reopen, considering the future production situation. We sincerely apologize for the disadvantage and appreciate your understanding. »»

What is behind the sharp increase in demand? The longer wheelbase and a set of additional doors make Suzuki’s little all-terrain more practical and more habitable without sacrificing its robust position and character. Despite 340 mm (13.4 inch) more than the three -door version, the nomad jimny remains compact to 3,890 mm (153.1 inches) of length.

Jimny Nomad is built at the Gurugram factory in Suzuki in India and is exported to markets beyond Japan, notably Southeast Asia, South Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.

Although Suzuki aims to fulfill current orders as quickly as possible, there is not yet a calendar when the new reserves are accepted. The first deliveries to Japan are scheduled for April 3. In response to the overwhelming request, Suzuki has also canceled all the exhibition events provided for Jimny Nomade in Japan.
