Edit: The predecessor was offered with an automatic option. We incorrectly say in the video this new model is the first auto. Also, we now realise there is no centre diff. We didn't know what the LSD-type function was called during the time of filming, so we incorrectly kept referring to it as a 'centre diff'. Suzuki officially calls it a "brake LSD traction control" system. Our apologies for these errors.

I've watched a dozen of these comparisons videos. And I am honestly impressed by how the Jimny keeps up with all these "serious" 4x4s; whilst still using road tyres!

as 5 door Jimny is launched in India, I was looking for a comprehensive review and your video is just perfect to say a big "YES" to this little beast.

This review is sooooooooo incredibly done! The car's off-road capability is just amazing~

Landrover, take note of how Suzuki modernise off roaders...

Jaguar Land Rover take note. Your new Defender could have been like this.

Just back from travelling 10 countries in one journey, sleeping at mountaintops in my rooftent, Jimny equiped with fridge/freezer, complete kitchen, hot shower etc etc... climbed the craziest rocks and drove through deep lakes, fully loaded, not even one single problem! A little bit slower than my 300bhp Golf, but still best buy ever! 😎🤙🏻💕 Fyi: About turning off auto-brake on difficult tracks: On difficult tracks, we use Low gear, which also switches off all safety systems! 🙄 This color is not only two-tone, it excists in single color. The 2 fake buttons in the center console, are seat heating in mine, but we don't have a rear viewing camera (Belgium). To end: It shows in everything you say... running the clutch, not a lot of torque, etc... that you haven't discovered low-gear 1st! 😂 A whole new world will open, I assure you 😋

Past year I have been watching reviews of this great little car and I reckon yours is the best most comprehensive I have seen. Nice work guys. Would love one of these. But have a 76 series...so.

Best Gen 4 Jimny review I have seen on KZfaq. Thanks for posting this!

great job man! Glad you are doing full reviews and not just performance data. Getting better and better each upload. Congrats.

It's good that you did a thorough test on both the manual and automatic. Most of the journos just assume the autos suck and just ignore it. Here in Japan 80% of all the Jimny are autos. It's got to be good.

I’m glad you enjoyed the Jimny, ai love your reviews and tests, I enjoy seeing cars I’ve never considered buying but seeing my own car be reviewed so well is fantastic, most reviewers don’t appreciate it for what it is and focus on it’s highway performance, I’m glad you were able to experience it off-road, If only you could own it for a month or so! I’ve had mine for 2 months and 8000+km and I keep finding little quirks and features that weren’t in the previous models or any other car for that matter. Also, for the short period you had the Jimny did you notice people on the roads / car parks checking the Jimny out or taking photos? The kintetic yellow isn’t the most flattering but it’s still a Jimny, everywhere I go in my Jungle green Jimny I get looks, it turns heads on freeways, it makes people toot horns, every time I enter a store I come out to someone waiting by the Jimny to ask questions. It’s a stunning car and a pleasure to drive even with a few short coming on road but I wouldn’t have it any other way, Just glad you enjoyed it.

A very comprehensive and honest review thank you. As a Jimny owner I fully agree - it loves being off-road way more than on it. 😁🤙🏻

great video, love how in depth you went and very professional keep up the great work

I checked several videos and This is one of the best reviews of the jimny 👌🏻great job

A very good, well balanced review dealing with testing a car for what it is. Thanks guys.

This is great. I was worried that the A/T version would be less capable off road but it seems it can handle its own pretty well.

one of the best review on KZfaq of this great 4x4. thanks you guys. Great job

the best review of the 2019 Jimny I have seen ! Well done

Gonna get my Jimmy for sure. I hope they continue the legacy of the old Samurai or 1st Gen Vitara (Geo Tracker).

The very BEST Jimny natural test, I've ever seen and I could demand :) Unusual vehicle, unusual crew! Very best regards!

Thanks for the test, and thanks for a video without a lot off music in the background. 🇳🇴

It's so much like the older jimny and I love it!

What an excellent review. No BS, no loud an obnoxious voice, just a calm presentation. Carwow and other companies should take notes.

Come to America please Suzuki 🙏

We took the Jimny off road last week. Very very capable, we did very well considering we were on-road tyres.

this is the first review of the many reviews of this suzuki that gets it right and talks about what the car is made for , great job and thank you .

What a wonderful review.. it's almost like I test drove the car.. well done

Great, informative video. I’m considering buying one and this has been very helpful. I’m intending to use it (with a trailer) as a delivery vehicle for machinery, and the utility level of specification, the cost and the fact it has a low four pulling capability, all make it look very attractive. I was waiting for the new defender but it’s turned out not to be a working vehicle in its new reincarnation. Many thanks again.

Best Jimny detailed review ever. Really nice.

I love it, mate! So nice to see a bit of the other side of this channel. Would be nice to see the odd video like this between the 0-100KPH’s!

Great Review! Looking forward to get one. Thanks and greetings from the Chilean Patagonia.

Best honest review. For highway, better cornering and steering feel, the 215 BFG tyre upgrade I did really improved the over all road handling, stable and quite

It's a good presentation that gives me an idea for the Jimny 4X 4. All my concerns met satisfaction those unexplained by the car seller. The size and performance amazed me. I have FJ Cruiser but still, I need a compact size. Thanks for your presentation and demonstration to ease my negative impression. Good job and thanks. Carry on .....

Owned what we called a Suzuki Samurai 4X4 here in Canada & was the best car I've ever owned, just bullet proof... hope the new product are still built as tough ;-)

thanks for such a complete and systematic review.

Okay this is definitely going to be my first 4x4!!! Can’t wait to get one and explore Australia with it!!

Wow what a review. Good job lads

EXCELLENT TEST!! WELL DONE!!! I will keep an eye on your videos! Realy enjoyed this one the Thanks

The BEST Jimny review. Especially the off road segment rather than those annoying reviewers who think driving on a dirt road and through a puddle is going off road.

This was awesome. Don't worry about the camera angles and such...it adds some authenticity and charm and all your apologies make you seem like a good, considerate human being. I'm a little tired of being screamed at by youtubers because they have 'high energy'. Good job and keep it up.

I miss Suzuki. I miss light weight mud skippers. Come back to America.

Suzuki no longer sell cars Stateside, cause The American Consumer Report made a "Fake New" review of the Jimny. Suzuki sue the publishing company and won the case and American Consumer Report paid millions to Suzuki for the damages they incured with their fake review, but Suzuki decided to stop selling their products except the motorcycles in the US but the Jimny is sold anywhere in the world and have become very very successfull

Great review, thank you! Awesome car, even the previous gen was super!

Thanks for sharing, nice review and test drive to the Jimny's "natural environment". This is where the Jimny shines.

IF this was in North America I would totally buy one of these.

This is an on point review and demo of the jimny.cheers guys

SUPERB REVIEW @PDriveTV ! FYI the blank buttons near the hand brake are for the seats heater (first equipment here in Italy). Ordered mine in march and still awaiting... 4 months waiting list here in ITA. cheers

Very well done review, indeed one of the best here on KZfaq. I've been waiting for mine (The version I got is the Suzuki Jimny GL MT 2020 Silver) Suzuki Costa Rica finally called a few days back and is here now. I have to go and pick it up this coming Thursday Dec 19. Cheers Mate! PURA VIDA!

this has got to be one of the best car review channels...

I just keep seeing a modern series 1 Land Rover...... Basic, capable, cheap, reliable, functional. I just wish it were 10% bigger. Best test ever ! Unfortunately I now live in deepest France and can't find a dealer...I'd get one.

Thanks for the great review! Subscribed to your channel.

Very comprehensive detailed comparison. Loved it 👍

Great review man, keep it up!👍

If they sold this in Canada i would buy one instantly.

Well done sir ... you made my day , my Sunday 👌👊👍🍀☀️

This is the reason why the Jimmy will never come to the US. It will outsell the Jeep Wrangler. I would buy one in a heartbeat. I love it and great video. 👍👍

Great, get my new Jimny in December, in Sweden with A/T

best review ever! ty for taking the time to do a proper review.. with so much b.s out there, finally you can see what this car is all about (the good and the bad)

Excellent review lads!

Great review! No bs I appreciate that my friend

to fix the stability, wider lower profile tires, like 215/55 or 60 tires 16" wheels all terrain, you can still go pretty much anywhere.

The best reviewed ive ever watched so far ... thanks bro more uploads... mitsubishi strada next please!!! Haha..

Awesome. Super helpful. Keep up the good work. Kudos

Great review thanks !

Great video! Thank you 👍

The push start button model is called "Sierra" and that one has more electronics to it suited more for urban drive. The Jimny is kept basic becoz it is meant more for off-road where basic stuff ensure there is less risk of breaking down. I ❤️ Jimny as it is a great fun off-roader. 👍🏻

Great review mate - plenty of detailed info so well done. One thing though, while you’re doing the flick test on the steering wheel, not nit picking but couldn’t help but notice you were sitting in the middle lane going up the F3 freeway.......110 Koh zone mate, stay in left lane unless overtaking and you won’t have pis*ed off people behind ya. Cheers 👍

Wow, this is a fantastic review, best I have seen! Am I allowed to put in a request? I'd love you to do a review on the Suzuki Ignis!

bloody hell mate! ... doesn't suit me at all ... but why can't I stop thinking about it? I don't off-road ... I need 5 doors ...I do 50/50 highway/city driving .... damn ! :-) your video review is awesome real-world !

Perfect info. Thank's a lot for your video.

Great review of my next car!!

finally a car manufacturer that listens to its feedback and makes a car which the actual consumers want

I really enjoyed watching your video 🤩🤩

This is the almost perfect car for me, it just needs to be that tiniest bit bigger. I drive a 2005 grand vitara and that’s as small as I’d want. But this car should be on every mans xmas list, great little toy. And i can see it being a collectors item in a couple decades.

best Jimny review, thank yoy, now we just have to wait for Suzuki to bring it to the States

Great review a lot out there have mods on them which feels like it’s out of my league for the start to see this beast do some off road stuff standard that’s what I want to see I’m looking at buying one I’m really impressed by this car

Good video mate, been looking for a good old aussie review!

Please Suzuki bring that beauty here in the states 🙏 😫👉❤ I want one bad!

I bought the new Suzuki Swift and this came in the exact day I went to pick my new car... If I knew about it arriving, I would of bought this. We are a Suzuki family, 2018 Vitara, Samurai, Swift etc, they are such fun cars. I am really pleased with the new generation of Suzukis

Very good review. One thing, dealers and tyre shops always overinflate Jimny tyres. I always get mine back with mid 30's psi, should be mid 20's according to specifications on B pillar.

Excellent,detailed review,very satisfying thank sir

Awesome and thorough review!

Not available in the colonies, and I'm a Tacoma guy anyways. I LOVED this review though! It felt honest, and the off road parts were exciting. Watching this little car mob around in the mud almost made me wish the review was longer.

G'Day mate, nice video ! I think the new one seems to have a bit more power than my 1.3 on the highway. In the 2015 1.3l, the secret to that first big hill going north towards Gosford from Hornsby is to hit the right hand lane in 5th full blast @ 120, Push 5th until you hit 115, down shift to 4th which will hold 110 but look to get left because at the top you will be barely 110 in 4th. On the upside, dont be afraid to use 2wd when off road with the traction control off to feel the best and most dangerous sideways feeling driving experience ever. The 210mm over the 190mm of the my15 would suggest you dont need the 60mm coil lift to cut even with a full size. This will save you 2 grand of emu, rancho or your prefered. Less plastic outside to round off the edges gives a retro look of 70s which I like. The 2015 looked like an early 1990s vitara body kit on an 80s looking car. More flares than an slr5000 torana. Great 4x4 in Australia for AU$24,000. I would question very deeply why these cost AU$30,000 (£15,990) in the UK ? Since the demise of the much loved daihatsu company the Jimny Sierra is the vehicle class downunder.

Its like a brand new suzuki samurai! So cool!

Absolutely fantastic display offloading that machine. I know that most people would not want to go through the hassle of a custom frame to make the Jimny a full body on frame vehicle but I did a mid 80s Samurai on a modified and boxed chassis with a 4" body and 6" suspension lift a GM 2.8 v-6 and 5 speed manual transmission swap and put it on offset 15" rims with 33" A/T tires. We called it the Big Toe because it looked like a 1/4 scale Monster Truck. It was a serious offroad machine that also had pretty decent highway capability post build. The GM powerplant and gearbox made for a much needed boost in power and let's just say that merging onto the interstate was no longer a cringing event. It would be like slapping a stock v-8 into an S-10 that had been powered by a 2.8 v-6 it suddenly became a rocket. Take a vehicle that weighs roughly 1100 kilos and give it a 115 horsepower under the hood which was nearly doubling the power it scoots along nicely. I wish that Suzuki was still marketed in the USA because I would love to get my hands on one of these new Jimny SUVs and build another Hot Wheels offroader. With some of the 1.5 Turbo configurations today making nearly 200 HP or more it would be a fun little Ute that would take me back to my teenage years. I miss the Micro 4x4s that were imported in the late 70s and 80s; they were basic as it got, didn't cost a whole bunch and made for awesome adventure machines when Frankensteined together with some mad science. Please Suzuki come back to the USA I need a Jimny in my life.

Well done very comprehensive review - open road performance of this little ripper is not that good, however I'm still interested for it's off-road ability.

I love how this car looks. All my friends think it's hideous

I wish the Jimny was sold in Canada. Great little off road machine, would be great for Canadian winters.

Beautifully reviewd

I am waiting for Jimny to arrive in India. I enjoyed the review. No frills and beautifully made...

Great review. Thanks

great review and great value for money

What this little vehicle can do with stock tires and no modifications whatsoever no other full sized off road vehicle can do!!! Way to go Suzuki!!!

Great review !

This is an interesting feature on Jimny showcasing the abilities and extent to which this vehicle can go. Hell o Yeah from India for JIMNY

Blank buttons are for seat heaters, Aus doesn’t have seated heats, Nz and other markets have them as an extra option.

Brilliant test, brilliant car and no bullshit talk.

Have the manual and in low range it will crawl over almost anything, amazingly capable in stock trim.
