Suzuki Jimny Camper Conversion with Pop-Up Roof
The Suzuki Jimny as a Camper
- The five-door Suzuki Jimny serves as the base for an innovative camper project.
- White House Camper, a Japanese company, has designed a pop-up roof that can accommodate two adults for sleeping.
- A functional prototype will be unveiled at the Tokyo Camper Show on July 20.
Unique Camper Conversion
The Suzuki Jimny may not be the typical choice for a camper conversion, but White House Camper has taken on the challenge by adding a pop-up roof to the longer five-door model. The project was initially showcased through blueprints and will make its debut at the Tokyo Camper Show 2024, promising to be a standout attraction.
Enhanced Interior Space
With the pop-up roof mechanism, the Suzuki Jimny gains extra height, allowing for easier movement within the cabin. The tent can comfortably accommodate two adults, and the electric operation simplifies setup at camping sites. White House Camper highlights the versatility of sleeping inside vehicles during emergencies or natural disasters.
Potential Market Expansion
While the availability of the pop-up roof option in Japan is still under consideration, the working prototype suggests a possibility for markets where the five-door Jimny is sold, such as India or Australia.
Future Plans for Suzuki Jimny
Suzuki introduced the five-door Jimny in January 2023 to offer a more practical alternative to the shorter version. Plans to bring this model to Japan are in the pipeline, along with potential updates like a hybrid powertrain and an electric variant. Suzuki is also exploring the idea of expanding the Jimny lineup with a pickup truck model.
