It is known that the famous budget SUV Suzuki Jimny, known almost all over the world, has attracted the attention of Toyota. The compact model was shown under this brand on the Internet.

Details are reported by Motor1. Japanese companies Suzuki and Toyota have been working closely together recently, sharing technologies, developments, and sometimes entire models. That is why the Suzuki Jimny looks very interesting in renders like the new Toyota Jimny.

Yes, some Toyota vehicles in certain markets have received Suzuki logos and changed names. It also works the other way around. Toyota was very interested in the budget SUV Suzuki Jimny to sell it under its own name.

It is not surprising that this successful and beloved model aroused interest. But Suzuki has previously rejected this, noting that the Jimny is part of the manufacturer's DNA and should therefore bear only its own logo.

A company representative compared the model's status to the Toyota Land Cruiser, which is hard to imagine other people's logos on. In addition, the refusal also affected the affordable Suzuki Swift hatchback, which Toyota also wanted to sell under its own brand.
