Suzuki Jimny lovers have finally
possibility of obtaining a turbodiesel
65 hp. A long-awaited option if from the

Especially, if it does from pleasing and economy of use, making it a product very to consider as basic option to start the practice of all terrain.

Jimny met with a turbodiesel engine

Renault engine bank.

Specifically, this engine is the
called K9K used by Renault
Clio and Kangoo, which is characterized by
soft and pleasant operation. East
four cylinder provides 65 hp at 4,000 rpm
and a torque of 160 Nm at 2000 rpm
thanks to the use of an injection

However, what we have left
