Maruti Suzuki Jimny | Ownership Review | 3000+ Kilometers | All Explained 

Brilliant! Looks like you are having a ball with the little Jimny! Enjoy :)

Great

Thanks for the views and FE figures. I guess 14-17 kpl for an off roader is very good. Helps in inching towards getting the Jimny, now that costs are reduced with the Thunder edition.

Well… a Gypsy is a Jimny 😂just stretched out

Thank you so much! Glad you liked the video!

Thank you so much for the support and encouragement. So glad you enjoyed the content! ❤

Congratulations on your dream car! Now go hit those trails! Cheers!

Sir i seem to be in the same position as you were, had been following the three door version and was waiting for the same to come to india and as a add on it came as 5 door, yesterday I did the test drive for the first time and it blew me off both in city highway in shimla and small off road patch and btoh roads it managed amazingly. I have a gypsy king 2014. I wanted to ask one thing what's your local mountain mileage?? If driving on standard tyres and not offroad ones?????

@silverbeast865 . I have done just 600kms and the gauge is showing a max mileage of 10.8 km/ltr .. let's hope it improves slightly.. will tune the car soon also there are lags at times when I need the power..

Thanks for supporting our channel and content! We believe everyone has a different style and approach to their off-road and on-road driving. I am just more into the geeky side of things and chase understanding and knowledge rather than putting on a show for social media. Probably why this video has 50K views and other more brash videos have 500K views. There's a market for everything 😂

@@gsrox2007 Please keep up the good work. Good stuff is not easy to find. Subscribed to your channel too.

True✅️

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement 🎉❤

Thank you so much for your support ❤

Thanks

Thank you for your support ❤

Thanks 🙏

❤ Gracias!!

Oh wow that's really amazing! Nothing quite like buying a Gypsy new because nobody cares at the dealership 😂 They just want you gone with that eyesore so the pretty Altos and Wagon Rs can be delivered in peace. Thanks for reviving that memory ❤

Thank you so much. My speaker upgrade is pending for a long time now. Hopefully this summer! 🍻

Thank you so much! ❤

Thank you David! Appreciate the kind words. Let us know when you get the 5 Door LWB.

Thank you so much! ❤🎉

Gypsy is still my first ❤ Glad you liked the review. The throttle response issue is present in both the MT and AT.

Great vid Gru ! 👍👍7:14 is pure joy 🤩

Thank you so much! ❤

Thank you so much 🎉

@@gsrox2007 So, I just picked up a Zeta MT in the same colour. I will be getting the same grill that you have on your Jimny.

That EVC/EVCx is truly mindblowing right? Males you feel that the Jimny is not so bad after all! Enjoy your ride sir! 🎉

Thank you so much for your encouragement and support ❤

Appreciate your support ❤

Thank you for your support ❤

Nothing quite like a good old manual transmission. The auto is definitely easier to live with off-road and you'll have fewer scenarios with a burnt clutch. The Auto also doesn't stall as much so less frustrating on the rocky bits. That said, the best solution is to have one of each eh? :) Cheers!

Thanks

Vielen Dank! ❤

Thank you for your support! Glad we could help 🍻

Cheers

Gracias! Appreciate your support sir!

Thank you so much for your support Abdul!

Haha nicely put 😂

Thank you for your support! ❤

Thanks for writing in! Hope your Jimny ownership experience is fun, thrilling and trouble free!

Thank you ❤

The Ultimate-9 evcx also has the same features. All these throttle tuners are more or less the same.

Gracias! Thank you for your support!

Glad it was helpful!

A cool butt and lower back is a blessing in Chennai humidity. 18L and no ventilated seats!! I cannot accept any vehicle without ventilated seats anymore. I hope the market forces this as a standard/optional feature in every car.

Yes those back seats could have been better. All they needed to do was add a bit more recline, thigh support and a central armrest. The could have added 60:40 split OR two single seats considering this is a 4 seater. You know what? It'll be awesome with two single seats instead of this bench. Hmmm...

Thanks for your support. You might see me again soon 😅

Thank you kindly! ❤

Thank you Aditya 🎉

Thank you so much! 💪🏾

Thanks

Thank you ❤

Thank you so much Sameer ❤

Glad you liked it!

Thank you for your support ❤

I didn't need: 1. Valet mode 2. Lock mode 3. Launch mode 4. Phone app Valet mode is useful and throttle lock is also quite useful particularly when you park outdoors but that's not a concern for me. Hope this helps!

It is 2L overpriced but an Alto AMT is 7.5L today 😮 Car prices are just silly at the moment...

@@gsrox2007 Car prices in the Indian market are in a big bubble post Corona. Alto has no business being at 7.5 lakhs. No wonder the sales are dwindling for that. Why would anyone not pick up a brand new MG Comet for a little more and save a ton on fuel & service while having a much superior car?? Anyways, I think the bubble got a few big holes and it's going to burst in January, a lot of unsold 2023 inventory is going to bring the market back to customers.

Thank you sir!

Thank you for your support ❤

Thank you for your support!

Thank you ❤

Thanks mate! Yes it is not for everyone and the Fronx is a looker. Both have weird names so 😂

Thank you so much ❤

I got my evc from STR Works India

Haha so glad so many people are anti-chrome! 😂

Thank you so much!

Thank you ❤

Spare wheel cover from Harman Impex.

Great tip

Yes that's my standard setting when I go off road. I keep it active on tarmac.

Plenty of dealers selling the grill in various designs. I got mine from Harman Impex who was the only guy with accessories at the time.

A lot of people have driven my car and appreciated the difference the throttle tuner has made.

Thank you for you support. I got my EVC from Tapaswi Racing in Bamgalore.

See you soon!

I don't remember saying the Jimny is a hopeless car 🤔 I own one. The white Jimny in this video is mine and I love it. It is certainly not for everyone but it is just right for me.

He never said that the Indian Jimny is hopeless. Instead he said that the Indian Jimny build quality is same as and at par with international standard.

Plenty of dealers now. Back when I got it there was only Harman Impex.

Yes it goes well even in the manual variant. All the best and thanks for your support 🎉

Thank you for your support ❤

Thank you so much ❤

I keep coming back to this review just listen to you talk (and because I love Jimny) .. classic stuff man . Well done !!

Thank you! 🎉

Yes. 2" should clear the 235-75-15 mud terrain tires. That's as far as I want to go.

These were imported from Japan but you can find all manner of accessories through various dealers and online. I bought it from a local dealer here in India.

Virtue signalling is in fashion these days. Developing nations need to stop all development activities, construction, roadworks, airports and everyone should sit at home and even then, the internet and datacenters have massive carbon footprints. Did you think all those servers, switches and network hubs that form the internet run without cooling? Let's try to stay rational and real.

I'll share once I get a few upgrades done. I'm very cautious with mechanical upgrades as I tend to believe that the engineers know a little bit more than the average joe. Plenty of heavily modded Jimny videos out there already but I'll take my time with this. Thanks for the kind words!! ❤

Performance air filters allow a lot of muck into the engine, in our heavily polluted conditions. Preferable to stay with the stock air cleaner/ air filters.

@@shankarbalan3813 what would you have to say about replacement filters from let’s say BMC

@@Looktheotherway I’ve used K&N and all. I stand by what I said. The filter element is wider and more porous which enables the engine to breathe more freely. At the same time, it allows in bigger particles of impurities and grime and dust and all, as compared with the OEM filters. This has been my experience on a couple of cars and I am just staying with stock.

@@shankarbalan3813 thank you for your valuable inputs Shankar. Am on the way to reverting to OEM. Your logic is impeccable as always. Did some lookup and found your inputs spot on.

Completely diy installation. Takes about 10-15 minutes to get the positioning right and secure the cables with the provided cable ties. Mileage is not a huge issue for me but given that it encourages you to drive faster, you might see a drop in Ultimate modes. In passthrough, eco and adaptive, it is about the same as stock.

If you had said 80-20 on and off road, I would have said yes go ahead. Ideally 60-40/70-30. If you aren't going to go off-road then why saddle yourself with a Jimny? For the looks? For 18L there are so many options that will serve your family better. The Jimny is for taking off-road. In the absence of that usage scenario, the compromises outweigh the benefits. The rest of the discussion about the FE / Turning Radius are moot. Fundamentally you WANT the Jimny because of how it looks or the prospect of going off-road. I choose to live with the poor FE, apalling turning circle and space/feature compromises BECAUSE I go off-road every weekend. If my requirement was long-drives and Ladakh, I would have bought a more spacious and comfortable vehicle like an Innova/Carens/Ertiga.

Sir, why would u prefer a Front wheel for Ladakh?

@@gsrox2007 Thanks for the help in deciding and with Maruti throwing in a 1L discount, got my Alpha Auto on 07 Jan. Looking forward to some great drives soon.

I got it from Harman Impex. There are plenty of guys selling similar products now. Also check on Simply Jimny Forums.

Yes it can be a primary car for a family of three. A friend of mine picked one up during the December discount and he is enjoying it with his wife and kid. Unfortunately the sound insulation is not great. It is not terrible but I come from the Pajero SFX and Fortuner before that so this feels a bit less insulated. Best way to find out? Negotiate an extended test drive with your dealer. If they aren't being supportive, let me know 💪🏾

Certainly! It's my primary car. Got it last month after extensive research. Loving it...

Thank you for your support ❤ The Manual is fun to drive. It should deliver better mileage in the city but the automatic delivers better mileage on the highway due to the final gear ratio in 4th (AT) vs 5th (MT). You need an additional 400 rpm approximately in the MT to maintain 100 kph. The AT is also easier to drive off road because it doesn't stall. I would pick the AT if the budget allows.

STR Works India is where I purchased it.
