This teaser image shows us a (little part of) the concept SUV that Suzuki will be showing off at the upcoming Delhi Motor Show in India.

Given that it's a small SUV and considering how its grille design seems inspired by that Jeep-like garnish on the front of the Jimny, is it possible that what we're seeing here is the all-new Jimny?

The Jimny is well overdue for replacement, considering that the current model can trace its roots all the way back to the late 1990s.

The big question is - would Suzuki turn it into a softroader? That certainly is the trend these days - look at how Kia turned its Sportage all soft in from the previous generation.

We truly hope that Suzuki retains the Jimny's off-road credentials - it is, after all, the only semi-modern true off-roader at the affordable end of the market. All will be revealed soon.
