Fans of really small 4x4s are over the moon at the moment as Suzuki have finally released the latest generation of the Jimny.
Fans are so delighted in fact that entire first shipment is already sold out. Which is why we were pretty chuffed to get our hands on one.
We were even more excited when Cape Town's Zone7 Motocross facility agreed to let us hammer the new Jimny on their main circuit. The result is a slightly alternative review of the all new Suzuki Jimny, but rest assured, in between Ciro De Siena having the time of his life, there is everything you need to know about the new Jimny contained herein.

Jimny is probably the cheapest yet most capable 4x4 you can buy today...

@@MegaDocjoeThat's a better option but not as unique looking as jimny...

@peglor 5 жыл бұрын

Not if you want a capable 4x4. The Duster has no low range box and runs a car drivetrain and suspension. It might surprise you how much higher you sit in the old model Jimny compared to most SUVs because the Jimny is a genuine body on chassis setup, making it a scaled down truck rather than a jacked up car. And there are plenty of snorkel kits available, including one on the Suzuki official accessories brochure AFAIK - along with a limited slip differential if you're not satisfied with the ABS based torque vectoring it comes with out of the factory.

@awdlover4349 3 жыл бұрын

@@CarlHeinHamel YES! In these days it’s snowing a lot, perfect car in these conditions: narrow streets with a lot of snow on the ground. It behaves very well. It never loses traction and climbs perfectly, without using low range gears. Moreover it has the stock M+S tires, not the proper winter ones. The other car we have is a 2016 mk7 VW Golf TDI 4MOTION (4wd) with winter tires, there’s no match: the way the torque is delivered to the four wheels is not comparable to the Suzuki AllGrip Pro system. Jimny is the third Suzuki with all wheel drive we had, after a SX4 (2006-2016) and a Swift (2011-2019); very well done Suzuki! Cheers from a snowstorm!

I have the 2006 version. As you will see in my channel I take it cross country every week and sometimes quite extreme trails. Off road, it is AWESOME. The new version shown is awesome too BUT the Jimny has always been great.

@peglor 5 жыл бұрын

The new version has ABS driven braking of spinning wheels, so it'll still keep going even with no grip on a wheel on both axles, so the new version will get further off road than the old version, which is a rare thing in the 4x4 market these days. Most of them have got more and more compromised with each iteration to make them better on road where the vast majority of expensive 4x4s go. I think on Land Rovers, they're on average 7 years old before they go off road, so probably on their 3rd owner...
