Daihatsu ingin melawan Suzuki Jimny, model baru bakal debut di Jepun pada pertengahan 2023

Rendering by Best Car Web

Tidak lama lagi Suzuki Jimny bukan satu-satunya kei 4x4 berpetak yang ditawarkan di pasaran kerana Daihatsu merancang untuk memperkenalkan pesaingnya sendiri sekitar pertengahan 2023.

Menurut media automotif Jepun Best Car Web, ia mungkin dikenali sebagai Daihatsu Rugger. Saingan Jimny daripada Daihatsu ini tidak akan dibina pada casis ladder-frame tetapi sebaliknya pada platform DNGA yang serupa dengan kereta Daihatsu Taft kei.

Sumber yang dekat dengan Best Car Web berkata bahawa Rugger akan menampilkan sistem pacuan empat roda (4WD) on-demand yang turut ada pada Taft. 

Oleh itu, tidak salah jika kami katakan bahawa Rugger akan lebih selesa di jalan biasa berbanding Jimny kerana ia dibina di atas platform DNGA berbanding dengan ladder-frame pada Suzuki.

Nama Rugger telah digunakan sebelum ini pada kenderaan off-road Daihatsu pada tahun 1980-an dan 1990-an. Ia ditawarkan di Malaysia sebagai Daihatsu Rocky dan di Indonesia sebagai Daihatsu Taft. Rugger juga telah dilencanakan semula di Jepun sebagai Toyota Blizzard.

Rugger yang dihidupkan semula sebelum ini telah dispekulasi oleh media Jepun untuk diperkenalkan pada 2022 tetapi nampaknya proses perkembangan yang lebih lama telah menolak tarikh pelancaran ke pertengahan 2023. Best Car Web menjangkakan Daihatsu Rugger serba baharu berharga antara JPY 1.5 juta hingga 2 juta (~RM 49k-65k), hampir dengan harga Jimny di Jepun.

Jimny boleh didapati di Jepun dengan pilihan enjin 660 cc yang mematuhi peraturan kereta kei atau enjin 1.3 liter. Yang terakhir adalah satu-satunya unit yang ditawarkan untuk pasaran global termasuk Malaysia tetapi Daihatsu nampaknya tidak mempunyai rancangan untuk menawarkan Rugger di luar negara. Oleh itu, Daihatsu Rugger berkemungkinan besar tidak akan menerima lencana semula Perodua.

The all-new 2023 Honda Accord has finally gotten its confirmed price list in Thailand following its preview earlier, entering a two-fold battle which only has it facing off against the Toyota Camry range.

The upcoming mini Toyota Land Cruiser will be a Corolla Cross-sized "Land Hopper?"

The Toyota Land Cruiser made its name being a tough-as-nails, go-anywhere premium 4x4 with the looks to back it up. Hot on the heels of the new global Land Cruiser 300 and the North American Land Cruiser 250 (Prado) could be a new third, more compact variant that’s being adorably dubbed the Land Hopper. Japanese site Best Car Web has dropped its own rendering of what the Land Hopper could be styled like and unsurprisingly, it appears to be very much like a mini Land Cruiser 250. That’s not a bad
