The Suzuki Jimny by WALD, known as the Black Bison Edition, turns the cute, boxy little Suzuki Jimny into an aggressive blacked-out 4x4 with a baby G-Wagon attitude. Japanese tuner WALD International achieves the look with a custom front bumper, twin-scoop hood, bespoke grille and wide fender flares. Here is how WALD gives the Jimny its mean new character.
Why is the Suzuki Jimny such a great base?
The cute little Suzuki Jimny is probably one of the most charismatic SUVs out there. It comes in a fun-sized package and it is incredibly powerful for a car that makes you want to throw flowers at it. Despite its rather soft, friendly looks, the Jimny is a capable off-roader that often takes you where you'd never expect it to. With the arrival of the new Jimny, the design was updated to a more retro-inspired look with softened yet square-ish proportions, which made it the perfect platform for a tuner.
What does the WALD Black Bison kit add?
Thanks to the boxy design of the new Jimny, WALD of Japan was able to create an aggressive 4x4 called Black Bison. To make it happen, they created a custom bumper, a twin-scoop hood and a new front grille. Further enhancing the look are the fender flares, which add width to the silhouette. The finishing touches include mean-looking off-road tires paired with red accents. As Hypebeast notes, the over-fender kit widens each side of the Jimny for a far more purposeful stance, and you can see the full component list on the official WALD Black Bison aero body kit page.
How much does the Jimny by WALD cost?
The already classic SUV is a great platform for customizers to start with. The Black Bison kit is sold piece by piece, so the price depends on how far you take the build, but it remains an accessible way to give the Jimny a dramatic, aggressive transformation. It is a body-kit conversion rather than a complete car, which is part of why the Jimny by WALD is so popular with off-road enthusiasts.
