Rankle 5 years and G class 2 years! Jimny, which has been three years since its release, is still one year old! Circumstances in which the ``tremendous delivery delay'' that hits popular cars is not resolved | Automotive Information/News WEB CARTOP
There is no prospect of recovering from delayed delivery due to shortages of semiconductors and parts
Now Due to the supply shortage of various parts such as semiconductors and wire harnesses due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the delivery of new vehicles is generally delayed. Especially serious is the car model whose original supply system is insufficient for the number of orders.
The Land Cruiser was the first to be mentioned, and the dealer stated the following. "On the manufacturer's website, the delivery time is more than two years, but it's actually longer. We can take orders, but we can't answer the delivery date, and it's highly likely that it will take three to five years."

The remaining 10% is shared by other countries and regions, including Japan, so the supply scale is small. Moreover, orders are increasing even in the Middle East region, so delivery times in Japan are getting extremely long.”
Jimny also has a long delivery time. Since its launch in 2018, it has consistently taken about a year to deliver. By the way, the number of Jimny notifications was about 1900 on average per month immediately after its release in 2018, but the average from January to October 2021 exceeds 3000, despite the impact of the corona disaster. In other words, although production has increased compared to when it first went on sale, delivery times have not been shortened.

The store said, "Jimny's popularity is deep-rooted, and although we have increased the number of units reported per month compared to before, the delivery time has not been shortened at all. We are receiving orders one after another."
Bezel also has a long delivery time. According to the dealer, "e: HEV Z takes 5 to 6 months. The delivery date for the highest grade PLaY has reached 1 year, so we are currently suspending orders from the manufacturer."

I also asked why the delivery was delayed. “The manufacturer could not have predicted that sales would increase so much, partly due to the impact of the corona wreck.PLaY is especially popular.In addition, the transfer of Vezel production to Suzuka Factory is also the reason for the delay in delivery. I think that".
The previous bezel was produced at the Sayama factory, but this factory will be closed at the end of 2021. Therefore, the Step WGN will be moved to the Yorii Plant, but the Vezel is already being produced at the Suzuka Factory.
However, Suzuka has been overcrowded for some time, as the N series of light cars, including the N-BOX, and the Fit were also produced. Since the bezel was added there, the dealers see that the delivery date is delayed.
