Same and it's made in Japan not India. That there is reason enough to go for the 3 door. Plus the 5 door rear seats dont fold down flat. So you cant really do anything with that space .

Not true they do fold + they all made in India now 🙃 Check

​@@G0tz They do fold but not completely flat like the three door and while India also produced the 3 door which is only for export, most 3 doors are made in Japan. I actually feel bad for people who bought Jimny and got an Indian made

5 door best

Removing the rear seats is literally 2 mins job. There’s just one bolt which will come off and you can remove the seats and make it a flat bed literally. Used it a couple of times.

​@@ajayvishvanathan1991aah!!

Its also an i side joke between all of us on this channel, it all started when I couldn’t fit on a bus so I sat sideways for 300km’s 🤣, even if I could fit on the bus with my legs facing forward, my shoulders took up 1&1/2 seats 🤣

The 3 door is awesome and Im enjoying mine also, its worth noting the 5 door is much easier to get into the back with the doors, and you can easily store 4 small to mid sized travel bags in that boot, it will work amazing for young families, and would work well for picking up and dropping off kids at school. It is more practical for a daily in city driver who regularly carries passengers and can be used on the weekend also to hit the trails

The GLX comes fitted with front and rear speakers, the GL only the front speakers.

We liked the 5 door but personally the 3 door works perfectly for the application, to be honest, we only used the back seat twice since getting the car and now they are permanently folded down. Im making an aluminium trunk to replace the back seat, will keep all recovery gear in here.

Hi, yes it is, one of the techs who works on Jimny’s confirmed this yesterday

I assume in stock form yes but on our Jimny Optimus, its much more

@@febuilds can you post the video link pls

@@indiaoverland2846 a snorkel itself is not enough, you need a diff breather kit, a snorkel and a certain mod on the air filter box. In some vehicles you also need a transmission breather kit, thats if you want to do it properly. Optimus can go through very deep water but its been modified for that. The vids of those mods are still coming?

@@febuilds do you guys put on sale those kits ? Do those kits ship to India? Thanx for replying to my queries

235/75 r15

They are not wide

1.645 m

@@BloodySweetBadass NO way they are less than 1750mm LOL

@@BloodySweetBadass those wheel flanges are probably 5cm on each side, so thats extra 10cm (non cabin admittedly)

@@chasx7062 yeah totally ignored it

Needs a turbo

Thanks for this info. Will update the community on this side.

@@febuilds what we could guess is the problem with the longer wheel base. Rest I am also eagerly awaiting if people start coming up with this problem in due course of time and the solution to it. Regards

Love your channel, I follow it

@@febuilds Thanks, good video. What do you think of the build quality of the 5 door (do your 3 doors come from Japan?). In the videos I have seen on the 5 doors I feel I have seen some build quality issues? In one there was a distinct lack of paint in the engine compartment. I know the paint is thin in this area but a red one they showed appeared to be almost completely white on the inner wings? Also some of the interior fitting looked poor although that could have been because they were Press Mules and had already had a hard life. I wonder when someone is going to manage to import one from South Africa to the UK - send us a red one in a shipping container please :)

@@bigjimny I was given an in depth look and time with the vehicle alone, couldn’t upload everything I recorded because it was just too much footage but I think build quality is very similar to the 3 door in terms of buttons, cluster. Literally the same car, just longer. Our FE Builds Jimny was from the Japan production line. I think time will tell with regard to build quality and market demand.

@@febuilds that's good to hear, thanks for replying

From what I noticed, there not much of a difference, same exact parts, just assembled in a different factory.

We measured again after the video, between 1.85m-1.9m tall. We have an inside joke that i have a 50mm lift kit, but the truth is I battle to fit in many cars comfortably. The back of the 5 door is spacious for many people

10k sales is not a good figure. My opinion a ,3door version is better and have more fun For off roading

Only time will tell, the market determines the price

To be honest with you, i think that engine has enough power hidden in it. Our 3 door Jimny build weighs more than other 3 doors and its got bigger heavier tyres but I leave the the others behind. Just the exhaust mod with the proper tuning will suffice, to that if you change the gearing ratios, it may have a lower top speed but it will not struggle. I think suzuki may have to meet allot of regulations and safety standards while making the cars more reliable, while still keeping it affordable and I personally think thats the problem. As I hinted in the video, It would have been nice if it had more power. Other than that its a very nice car.

@@febuilds Thank you for the thoughtful reply. However you are telling me that the engine is not adequate, without tuning/mods. Why not get it right straight from the factory. It is a great little truck in 3/5 door guise. I wouldn't be making excuses for Suzuki, they could solve the engine problem quite easily.

@@robotstobor3388 just my thoughts, im sure suzuki have their reasons

@@febuilds of course, I'm sure I don't know more than you or Suzuki

In my personal opinion, I think the 5 door Jimny gives young families with two kids access to the jimny world. Yes the 3 door could do that but in terms of the practicality of picking up the kids and dropping them off at school everyday, because of the back doors, it makes it easier than the driver having to get out fold the seat down, help the child to come out and then doing the same again after school. I think both are nice and the 5 door will bring in a group of people who always wanted a jimny but didn’t get one because of the practicality of every day use. Im my opinion this is a really cool/capable station wagon.. branded as a 5 door small off roader. I think they don’t intend to stop the 3 door, they are more just giving access to people who need 5 doors and really want a jimny

Stupid comment from the fella in BOLD. Jimny already has sold 10k in India and there are many jimny enthusiast clubs. The 3 door is welcome but it's not coming anytime soon to India

Why will any taxi service use an over priced offroader with a bad fuel efficiency??
