great video!! how does the engine speed compare to road speed. By this video, it looks the engine is revving pretty high. can u pls tell what would be engine rev at 100 kmph in top gear
You say using 4L is really only for snow, dirt and mud, and never dry tarmac... What about wet tarmac? I really want the jimny for heavy rainfall, can i use the awd without damaging it in the wet?
Shad Appanah no, wet tarmac is not slippery enough to justify the 4wd use. You would not ruin anything as long as you drive on a straight line but the tighter you turn the harder it is for your transmission
what is practical and comfortable speed for jimny on highway. Does it feel stable on speeds above 100km/h. what about the wind noise due to squarish shape. Thanks.
Nawaz Zaygham although it wouldn’t be my first choice as a highway companion it is pretty stable and driveable all the way to top speed on smooth roads. I generally set the cruise at 120km/h where fuel consumption and engine/wind noise are acceptable. If you came from an older jimny it is a good step ahead. I would say that the engine noise at higher speeds is what really keeps me from going faster.
I checked the gear ratios. 4th gear auto and 5th manual are very similar ratios. This means that 100km/h corresponds to roughly 3050 rpm on the highest gear.
mnls78 compared to the older Jimny is like driving a rolls royce! It is very comfortable on the suspension side. This only downside is the engine revving pretty high at those speed and the noise coming from it. With a 6 speeds gearbox this Jimny would be perfect!
@@alfo40 i am almost single guy not children olly my girlfriend and our bike,so now i want a small car.i m not extreme off roader but there s lot places you can see with that type of car.the reason iasked for the speed is if its posiible to save time because its very limited thank alot.
alfo40 6 speed would be no use with the NA 1.5 engine, revs would be too low for any useable torque if facing gradients on motorways in the same way the 6th gear was useless on the 1.33 petrol Toyota Yaris.
Zivojin Tomic only on snow, dirt, mud or offroad. When you drive 4H and 4L the front and rear axles are forced to spin at the same speed. If you are on a slippery environment the tire slippage will compensate for required speed difference between front and rear axle while turning. If you try the same on concrete the stress applied to the transmission will ruin the car and make it hard to drive anyway.
@@alfo40 In my opinion it should be 4h not locked and 4l locked to be more functional. Pajero for example has 4h that's suitable for concrete and 4h locked that is not. When I have to use the locked one, I usually do it in low gear (4l). So that's the logic I see that they should have used in the Jimmy. I haven't checked if it is but knowing that you can switch from 2h to 4h at speed in the Jimmy makes me think it is not locked. For the 4l you have to stop and it leads me that it goes locked. That's just some logic, I will check if I am correct.
B. Ivanov mitsubishi is the only one using the super select trasmission (2wd, 4wd high open diff, 4wd high lock and 4wd low lock) but I think it’s way too expensive and complex for the Jimny’s segment (it does require a third differential).Keep in mind that with the small Jimny you really don’t have all that power to put down on the floor and 90% of the time 2wd+ standard tracion control is more than enough to drive around safely. In a perfect world I would agree with you but in the real world the price/complexity would not be justified for the use destination of the little Jimny!
in downhills its kicker but overflows much torque, but in uphills fuck that is a missile you can run in 120km in 4th gear with no problems and switch to 5th smothly
Quicker than expected ! Still not sure why they didnt put the 1 litre boosterjet in this, and made fifth gear longer for motorways (obviously shorter fifth on NA engine so it maintains torque), because youre not going to use fifth off road !!! Most people can only afford one car, so I think Suzuki got it wrong with the engine and gearbox. I wouldnt thrash it on such a new engine either !
Simon George I really don’t understand either. In Italy the Jimny is not on sale anymore because of the Co2 limits. Beside that I kind of like the actual engine on this particular car. It’s pretty good on torque at low rpms, relatively quick and happy over 5-6000. It does really miss a 6th gear for the highway but in a mixed use it has a nice mpg average (same I had with a NA smart 1000)
Matthew they will come up with a similar solution due to emissions target in Europe. The longitudinal engine may reduce the unit choice but they must do something.
Wow, top speed run at 1000 km is a pretty reckless thing to do. You need to run it gently in for at least 5000 km. My Jimny got to 175 km/h on the dash, which is around 165 gps km/h.
So not very different than my 1993 Feroza.. 3750rpm at 110km/h. It would have been awsome if they put a more powerful engine with longer gears so it can feel like a more modern vehicle, another missed opportunity. Tnx for the info.
@@elvisosorio5007 If they put longer gears on this engine it would be even more sluggish. Imagine if you have to overtake someone or even a truck on a 2 lane road. Not going to happen. Longer gears would requiere a more powerfull engine.
2h. You're not supposed to drive in 4wd on dry pavement cause there is no 3rd differential in the Jimny and it would ruin the transmission (and be dangerous when turning)
😀scary ah? The video has been made to show what kind of performance should people expect out of the just released MY19 Jimny. If you want to see some guts just surf the channel! Cheers!
@@alfo40 come si comporta su strada mi è sembrata abbastanza scattante come motore, e poi le sospensioni a ponte rigido fanno traballare sullo sconnesso?
Arjit Agarwal although not made for speed with the new Jimny you can drive at 120/130 km/h without any issue and in a decent comfort. We have driven 500 km + trips at that pace with reasonable fuel consumption as well!
Maybe you are right, but with the pollution restrictions we have here I'm kind of glad it's petrol. I think it makes his job, even fun at higher rpm's. I really haven't really felt a lack of torque or power in real use, not uphill either. It's far to be a fast or a quick car but the chassis wouldn't allow much more the way it's set up.

Shad Appanah no, wet tarmac is not slippery enough to justify the 4wd use. You would not ruin anything as long as you drive on a straight line but the tighter you turn the harder it is for your transmission
Also, 4x4 without a central differential should not be used for asphalt driving since you can break some components on the transmission
What MPG were you averaging in the city?
P.s we need this in Canada 😢
I'm driving with an average of 11,5/12 km per liter

What is the cruising rpm at 100km/h on 4th gear?
I should check. Keep in mind my car is manual 5th gear. I can confirm it runs over 4000 in 5th @ 130kmh
I checked the gear ratios. 4th gear auto and 5th manual are very similar ratios. This means that 100km/h corresponds to roughly 3050 rpm on the highest gear.
Checked yesterday: manual gearbox, 5th gear, 100km/h barely over 3000rpm (3050/3100)
alfo40 thats acceptable as sitting at 60mph would probably suit this car well.
is it plesant to drive it at 120 -125 km/h? compare it with the previous Jimny.

When do you recomend to drive in 4H since you should only use 2H on the dry street

If it's on level motorway, this is totally adequate for American roads without pushing it all the time.
Nope... Flat gradient on the highway

How many miles per gallon?
I have an average between 27 and 28 mpg, 80% city traffic.
I think this would be great with a turbo 3 cyl. Maybe a 1.2 with 128 hp and 133 lb ft? Bring that time down to about 8 secs flat possibly into the 7s!
Matthew they will come up with a similar solution due to emissions target in Europe. The longitudinal engine may reduce the unit choice but they must do something.
I think this would be even better with a 1.4 boosterjet, a lot of torque at low rpms
