The one and only small, lightweight four-wheel drive is how Suzuki pitches the first all-new Jimny for 20 years. It gets an updated interior and funky exterior styling, but is it a match for the serious large 4x4 establishment? Matt Prior puts it up against the 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser 3dr Utility in a disused quarry to find out. Subscribe now: smarturl.it/aut...

@ferkeap 5 лет назад

yep, i found that weird, because the option was there for the old jimny, internal switch you flipped. And you can have manual wheel caps that makes them lock. I would like them to rlly make the Electric jimny they made a concept for.

@RoadRunnerLaser 5 лет назад

ferkeap - The manual wheel caps weren't to lock the diffs unless I am very much mistaken. The wheel-caps were to engage the front shafts. With the hubs unlocked, the wheels freewheel rather than driving the shafts when in 2WD mode, thereby reducing wear and improving fuel-economy. Suzuki maintained this approach until the Grand Vitara which ended up having a pneumatic dog-clutch to do that job (meaning that you did not need to get out of the vehicle to engage 4WD). The 2004 (if I recall) was the last one which had part-time 4WD and from then, the Grand Vitara went rapidly downhill and became an AWD piece of crap with that shitty torque-vectoring nonsense.

@justintoeverything 5 лет назад

Put an auto-locking or e-locker diff in the back and that’d be all you need. Any time either of the front two start to spin, the brake vectoring will compensate for it and away you go.

@Ktheodoss 5 лет назад

civertron Don’t get emotional about it boy. And I know exactly what Im talking about. An all terrain vehicle is a ATV, which is for off-road and off-road only. They are illegal on public roads. Example would be a Polaris General. SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle. This type of vehicle is meant for public roads but are also off-road capable. They are traditionally body on frame, and equipped with 4x4 transfer cases. Usually these transfer cases have 4-lo gearing but not always. Example would be Suzuki Jimny or Toyota 4Runner or Prado. A car based AWD vehicle is not equipped with a transfer case but instead uses a varity of different “clutch” systems that engage when front axle tires slip. Theyre called CUVs or crossovers. Example would be Toyota Rav4. 4x4 isn’t a type of car. Its a type of system.

Why? lol Just get a Jeep Wrangler. You can usually sell them used for just as much as you bought them for (used). Like the Kowasaki Ninja brand motorcycles, these hold their value and the parts you can find for them are everywhere (cheap) too. The Jeep Wrangler TJ models practically make it easy to do half the work yourself due to how simple the mechanics are designed. Suzuki parts on the other hand are not only expensive but much harder to find. If you are American, its silly not to go with a Jeep Wrangler for this particular type of vehicle.

@thebubaloomonkey 5 лет назад

The thing I like most about the 'brand new' jimny is that so much of it is the same as the previous Jimny (same chassis with a few new safety features, same axles, slightly larger displacement version of the same engine etc.). Suzuki are marketing this like it's a return to being a 'real 4x4' but in reality the Jimny has been doing the 4x4 thing very well for years and years. I've had lots of them, and for the work I do I wouldn't use anything else.

@-A.n.d.r.e.w- 5 лет назад

Not a bad effort. The key to the traction control is a bit more momentum and fluidity (obviously very easy to judge from an arm chair). When it's cross axle and stopped is the weak point, just back up a smidge and give it a little bump with some right boot and you'll find it'll pull through much better. Decent job testing it little fella though :)

This for me is the car of 2018! whilst it isn't a Wrangler or Land Cruiser it is only a tiny fraction of the price. People will start moding them too, with a little lift and locked diffs this tiny thing will be great. Shame it isn't a diesel or electric though :)

@mickeyp1291 5 лет назад

your review is not correct at all. you started by taking it in the footsteps of your Toyota. but the Jimny doesn't need to go the same route as the Toyota, you should have gone almost perpendicular to your Toyota route, the whole point of the Jimny is its narrowness. you should have easily maneuvered those rocks.

If you will be driving over boulders and rocks on a regular basis whatever car you own you would probably have if jacked up even higher as you are not going to have a "sherpa" babysitting you...so that whole test is possibly invalid and silly. I have owned 4x4's in the past (Jeep Cheokees, Broncos...) and I completely disagree with your final comments on the little Jimny. Like someone else pointed out- you took a more difficult route with the Jimny vs. the Toyota and your driving technique may have also been wrong.

@davel4708 5 лет назад

If you pimp the Jimny up a bit: ie jack it up and put some decent tyres on it it’ll go basically everywhere. As for the wade depth, I’ve had mine through at least 700mm of water. The thing was floating. Had to open a door to flood the cabin so it had enough weight to engage the wheels. Took a while to dry the thing out later but the electrics and motor are still fine six years later. There are plenty of very narrow tracks near where I live where the Jimny kills the bigger cars. An astonishing car for the small amount of cash these things cost to buy. I absolutely love mine.

@mikewang1439 5 лет назад

MrJordanwain I suspect in its main market which is Japan, this car is a kei car, so they have the 660cc turbocharged 3-cyl, which generated 64 horsepower. For the oversea model they probably choose to cheap out and use the less advanced engine, which is not necessarily a bad thing since some off road enthusiasts may dislike the abrupt kick in of the turbo engine and people are not buying this car for speed anyway . But I do agree with you, a bigger engine will do this car far more justice

I live in the US with a Suzuki Grand Vitara 2010 and it’s the base 4 cylinder 2 wheel drive only car so really I have a city commuter with a full size spare

The Toyota Bb 4x4 is the lightest least talked about but they are excellent.

Land Cruiser is the king for offroad for a reason but if you dont want to spent that much the Jimny or the Jeep are two awesome choices

the jimmy was out of stock as soon as it came to my country I then contacted countries near by and they all were out of stock you're lucky if you can buy one.

Does it pass all the safety standards required to sell it in Europe today?

@foxhound1443 5 лет назад

@@johnbrier9746 yes

@johnbrier9746 5 лет назад

@@@foxhound1443. Yes, but with the lowest ever NCAP score. Zero stars is still a score. Just such a bad score NCAP don't even publish it. There are safer quad bikes. Emissions standards are on par with cross channel ferries...or a Volkswagen diesel.

@foxhound1443 5 лет назад

@@johnbrier9746 Emissions standard is euro 5 last time i checked. As far as safety the car hasn't been changed for over 30 years except added airbags and better headlights. Lada Niva is still being produced and sold in europe. I know for a fact that there are dealerships selling nivas in Austria, Germany, Hungary an UK and prices vary from 10000-15000 euros.

Excellent demo! and as 1911indi says the auto variety would show it at it's potential best.

I’d love a Jimny, but no matter how light I try to pack for a weekend camping (excel spreadsheet) it’s impossible to stay under the GVM. 340kg payload including fuel and 2 passengers is not much to work with....

Get a jimny, 2 inch lift to run bigger tyres, lockrite rear diff and you've spent 1200 quid and it WILL go anywhere! And tyres, 190 100 15 or 205 85 15, gives you a more more ground clearance (or in my case an extra 2.5 inches)

@barxracerful 5 лет назад

no Jimny in the US but an absolute ripoff of the Jeep CJ known as the Mahindra Roxor is allowed?

@GhostOfAMachine 4 года назад

Or worse yet, Fiat knockoff of the Jeep

wrong tire for offroad.

@codyh3169 5 лет назад

With Jeep going towards the SUV market, America doesn't have any new small 4x4's left. The Wranglers that have good 4x4 options are over 40K. Yeah you could rebuild a Willys or CJ5 but not everyone has the resources. Mahindra brought the Roxor which is basically a Willys Jeep but they couldn't meet enough regulations to make it a road vehicle and it's like a off-road only side-by-side in almost every state.
