According to Autohome ... SUV will be imported to other countries and also sold at home.

I read the beginning of the second paragraph as roughly meaning "previously, Changhe Suzuki had the right to import and market the Suzuki Jimny, which served as the foundation for the next step, i.e. its domestic launch (referring actually to its domestic assembly)". I think the translation is a bit messed up there.

Anyway, back to the car. So, Changhe will begin to produce the car 18 years after its debut! Interestingly, in Brazil, production of the Jimny began in late 2012 by the Souza Ramos Group.

Of note, there are two versions of the 1998 Jimny - the 660 cc kei-class Jimny and the wider/longer Jimny Sierra, with bigger engines, the latter sold internationally.
