At the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show, Suzuki presented the all-new Jimny with a much more modern design.[42] A ladder type chassis and a dual-ratio transfer case were retained, unlike many competing compact 4WDs which lack a low range, and are strictly in the crossover category. Two versions are available in export markets: a standard hard top and the Canvas Top, introduced at the Barcelona Motor Show in May 1999 and was built only by Santana in Spain between 1999 and 2009.[18] The Jimny replaced the popular Sierra/Samurai model in most markets (European introduction was in Paris, 1998[43]), though its predecessor remains in limited production in some places. For the domestic market, a 660 cc K6A-engined version suited for the Kei Jidosha class is responsible for most Jimny sales.
