Thank you so much for your support! 👍 You have right said, I still see chances for Jimny if Suzuki does not hesitate, accept, and learn from the mistakes. BTW, Japanese people are very good at that. Let's see. Thanks again 😊👋
Jimny has altogether missed the Bus now and the shean now with Thar Roxx launch and thier initial blunder in early bird launch fleece failed game plan to create fictitious demand bubble. Paying for your sins #marutisuzuki
Me too did the same... I booked the vehicle before price launch, cancelled immediately after price launch but eventually bought after these huge discounts.... Except for the huge turning radius and no seat height adjustment loving the car though..... And last but not least thank you mahindra thar for not letting maruti ripp off customers by over pricing jimny
Thanks for comment and support! Great to you are enjoying this smallest offroader petrol car in the world. A great kid mishandled by Suzuki. Like yours, many stories in there and it is always great to hear about experiences. 👍
HUGE TURNING RADIUS is the ultimate DAMPENER since it makes even city commuting absolutely a horrendous task, despite its lean figure And 90 percent buyers aren't into OFF ROADING here,nor did they buy it for exclusive THAT purpose, ALONE Neither a city car,nor a family car....if someone is still falling for the sunday bazaar sabzi mandi discounts Buy it if u intend doing off road PRIMARILY Else,stay away and do t Fall into DISCOUNT TRAP
Jai Hind! Indeed if someone is only buying this for a discount. One should buy this for its capabilities but not for comparison or discounts. Unfortunately, it is one of the most understood vehicles ever in the Indian automobile industry. Your comment makes a lot of sense.
The car needs about 35 more BHP and about 45 NM more torque. It also needs a seat height adjuster and about 30mm more GC. A driver arm rest with storage would also be useful. Water wading capacity of 300mm is too less; but that is hard to fix. And the Alpha AT needs to be 10 lacs on road max.
Except increading GC, 2 inch bigger tires and change in suspension to accommodate the tire, none of the other things are fixable especially NA engine. Honestly speaking I am enjoying this ins stock. But your POV makes lot of sense to me. 👍
@@MashofreaksAuto It’s quite simple really. The car has no power, no torque, no real fuel economy, no space for a family, no storage spaces, no seat height adjustment, no road presence, and for an off roader, it has no meaningful water wading capacity!! And for all this Maruti wants 17.5 lacs on road!! What rubbish!! The Espresso is half the price and doesn’t have dedicated 4x4 and that car is more useful than this Jimny. Go to any Himalayan town and you will be stunned by the number of Altos and Espressos. Saying that the Jimny is successful in the west and so implying that we Indians are somehow uninformed country brutes is downright racist in my opinion. So what if some westerners have money to throw around for a fancy car to enjoy with on the weekends?! That is not our value system. Here we believe in function and utility. Even road presence is about utility - it is useful on the road to be able to get noticed. So if you bring the car here to this market then make it align with our value system of function and value for money. The Jimny engineers said that they didn’t have time to tune this engine to get good power for India. This when they had 5 full years!! What they were doing for those years God only knows!! I am not a Thar fan. In fact I think that the Thar is a show off car and nothing else. I test drove the Jimny. Twice. I so badly want to like it as I think it looks amazing. During both test drives, I floored the pedal and there was literally no forward movement. There was a ton of body roll in the turns. Without seat height adjustment I couldn’t see past the wiper base actually. Had to sit on pillows. How the Jimny doesn’t provide seat height adjustment is beyond me. Good visibility and ability to see past the bonnet is a basic requirement; especially in off road. All in all, Maruti screwed up big time. The car didn’t fail because of the internet. The car failed because it is bad product for our market and it is overpriced at that. This car isn’t worth more than 9 lacs on road as it stands now. At the very least the car needs a better engine and better transmission. It also needs more storage and weight sensors for rear seats. Did I mention the annoying beeps for no seat belt in the rear when no one is sitting there?
You have many valid points shows you are not at all novice and I respect them. Well I do hands on with these vehicles, day and night being from the hills. Give Alto, I can virtually go anywhere but discussion is not that. Well, price is really rubishh and I am completely agree with you. Trust me I inclined Shinkula from Zansker with loaded capacity of 600kgs in it and it did its job beautifully. Saying no power and no torque is an easier thing. I am not at all biased or anti but sharing my real time experience with you. Throughout copper plugs you will see the difference. Jimny has not failed here but my friend is badly positioned and the worst prices are posted on us. I don't want to say it is a high performance car but it makes all kinds of commutes easier in the hills than many others because skinny, small, light. Think of an upgraded Gypsy but heavily overpriced my friend.
@@MashofreaksAuto me being a novice or expert is irrelevant. I agree with your assessment that the car is working for you. But that’s not the main requirement for sales. To sell well, it has to work well for lots of people. People will counter saying that the Jimny isn’t for everyone and that it is only for a small group of discerning enthusiasts. If so then why cry about low sales? All this hand wringing about Jimny being a failure means that it hasn’t worked for lots of people, some enthusiasts included. Our market is about volumes. To succeed here one has to sell many copies of any given car. Maruti of all people should know that. Maruti isn’t a Bugatti who will sell one car to one rich person every 6 months and call it a day. And Jimny hasn’t sold in any significant numbers to be called a success by any measure. I remember that the Ritz (which is a fabulous car) was selling about 2000 units a months when Maruti pulled the plug on it citing inadequate sales. So now with Jimny not even selling at 4 digits per month I can imagine what the management at Maruti must be thinking. They screwed up. They know it now. While having good 4x4 capability is always great; it can’t be the only USP of a car here. We need our cars to do lots of things. Absolutely no one is going to go climbing up a rocky dirt track everyday. But we will be taking our highways everyday. So the car needs to have power. Even if I want to go to Ladakh I have to drive 1800 kms of highway. At Jimny’s comfortable speed, it will take me 50% more time to get to Ladakh or Spiti where I will enjoy the car. Maruti got carried away with all the social media noise about bringing Jimny to India while forgetting what this market truly values - function, versatility and cost savings.
As I already said in the video as well, it is a totally mishandled and misunderstood product. If someone bought it for the highway to cruise with, take the wrong decision. Just look at it as the newest generation of Gypsy which is more refined, bit more capable and with some modern gears. The entire issue as you said is misunderstanding the product. Anyway I also respect your concerns but this is how it is. One mistake done by Suzuki and another is done by who bought this and is now regretting. I drove 3 door Jimny 2 other countries before so I know what it is exactly. Thanks for your comments and support.
Excellent narration Sir. Actually now Sujuki should relaunch JIMNY with a hybrid or CNG option, a better storage system for water bottles/mobiles, better placement of switches, better profiled AT tyres, better turning radius, smoother gearbox/stearing system, second raw seat needs to be made more comfortable.
Manoj ji, many thanks for watching and supporting! 👍 Your suggestions to Suzuki are really valuable. Hopefully, these will reach them. Relaunch will not be very soon. May be by the end of 2025 or mid of 2026. Right now the priority is recall and fix the issues in the vehicle. Keep supporting and please help me to spread the content. Thanks again 👋
I think Suzuki became greedy and just stretched the 3 door without any proper testing or structural changes. Ideally they should launch the 3 door and price that to 7 lakh on road. The 5 door needs to and it will eventually be discontinued very soon due to design flaws
Good one! I hope the Toyota’s JV with GAC might help Suzuki, sadly today its Jetour T2 & many other competitors are ahead of the game. With access to so much information, consumers have matured & Maruti is still playing old cards…lNot just Jimny, sadly GV, Swift too requires a refresher to stay relevant in both National & International markets…..
Sandeep ji, it is a great value add to the form and thanks for watching/supporting. As far as I know Suzuki refused to share Jimny with the Toyota GV. Suzuki actually thought after the success of New age Baleno then Fronx, they will be able to push Jimny without facelifting it to modern gears with any price. This is the time they should learn from market feedback ASAP. Suzuki will not find a bigger market than India, has lots of potential and must learn what is Indian buyers' need.
Excellent released !! 👌👌 Agree with you. Suzuki or anyone else should understand the buyer trends. Although Tata is far ahead of Suzuki in this stupidity
Great video. Covered all points in detail. This was my first maruti vehicle and with the betrayal that maruti has done, I’m never ever going to buy another Maruti vehicle in my life. Cant even sell the car now. Resale value m gonna get will be significantly low now. Pissed af
Many thanks for watching my friend. How does Suzuki deal with Jimny and the customer is awful. I can understand your situation and there are many stories like this and people here have strong emoticons with vehicles. Keep supporting and please help me to spread the content. Probably these feedbacks will go to Suzuki India to take serious steps in favour of customers. Thanks again 👋
@@swarnaditya well i actually need this car for the kind of roads we have here. Love driving it but disappointed with how MSIL have handled this product.
@@freakout4775 nobody is perfect. This car is as perfect and as multipurpose it can get. And with the discounts it makes a lot of financial sense. Wait for another discount rain. Should happen around November December. Keep in touch with 2-3 dealers. Grab it when you feel the best time is. Enjoy the accessoring of it along with the ownership experience.
@@swarnaditya i already have this car. Bought it for 14.10 lakhs on road in December 2023. Alpha MT kinetic yellow. No issues with this car but the pricing. Feel like i have been cheated. That’s it.
Giving the naturally aspirated engine while competitors offer turbo engines can be another reason. Plus the old gear box both in MT & AT version is one major reason for downfall of Jimny. others r providing 6 speed MT or AT whereas Maruti is still using 5 speed MT and 4 speed AT
Thanks for watching and valuable commenting. All these topics are on the way and in my list to discuss in detail in dedicated video. NA engines are not bad, they have their own merits but yes people look for more power at this price. MT gear box is good and proven especially coupling with this motor, it's only problematic for those who need a much smoother gear shift but this is how most ladders on frame chassis behave in this price range. Suzuki did not put a 6 speed torque converter because it would take another delay of 1 year to test it and the cost. We will discuss all these in dedicated video in the "Jimny Cookbook Series", thanks.
Great video. One short query : does the roof rack, creates any trouble while driving apart from wind noise. And also how effectively we can cater the wind noise from roof rack in the Jimmy?
Amit ji, thanks for watching and support. 👍 You have two questions here: To answer first one, roof rack won't create any issue if and only if it is fitted with perfect workmanship. So, fitment is utmost in addition to quality of rack. To answer second question, suppose you are driving at 100 with no roof rack and you open side mirror then there will be wind gust and lots of noises, right? But as soon as you roll up side glasses, the cabin looks pretty silent, isn't it? So the culprit is not roof rack but the insulation in the car. If you trust me, roof rack increase negligible NVH levels if fitted well. It is something else you need to fix. Hope that helps and answer your query! In my next videos you will see resolutions of many issues of Jimny. Thanks.
Finally someone who echoes my thoughts on the pricing ladder for 3 door and 5 door, and the idea of introducing both versions in India market. Love the review sir!
Many thanks my friend, and I am really glad you like it. This is "Jimny Cookbook Series", you will see many indepth (researched) videos in this series. Soon I will also start other automobile technical and tricks videos. Please stay tuned. Thanks again, if you like please help me to spread my contents.
I own a Jimny, I am an early buyer, I know I paid premium but I am so happy with my vehicle. One good thing noted by sir in the video is the stupid Highway tread tyres as stock. This made Jimny heavily disarmed against That in stock comparison videos. Had Jimny been equipped with M/T or A/T tyres as stock it would have made huge impact in online comparisons.
My Dear friend, I am happy that you are happy with the vehicle. Whatever it is you own your decisions and you like the vehicle too, impressive. Well, one thing, these tyres are not very good I agree but really not stupid too. These tyres have some hidden strengths. I am not advocating these but what I am saying is that all categories of tyres have some good and bad. On 7th Sept, you will see a detailed and lengthiest video I have on Jimny so far in "JIMNY Cookbook Series". It will be a postmortem of around 20 minutes. Please stay tuned if you are too interested. 😊👍
Ganesh ji, thanks for your support! Rightly said, no one can underestimate the power of Indian consumers. Please help me to spread the content. Thanks again 👋
I bought the Jimny when the discounts were not there, and was a bit disappointed when the discounts came in. One thing that i noticed was that the sales person did not know much about the vehicle. For example why the turning radius is so high and the steering so heavy (comparatively), what's the power to weigh ratio etc, which i asked just to test him, having done my homework. But such sales person spread misinformation which can translate to disappointed owners later on. I knew what i was getting, and what were the workarounds for the issues, so I'm happy with my Jimny. Great points though in this video, the Jimny is a great platform which is not handled well.
Being a customer and owner I can understand you are coming from and you are quite genuine on every word you wrote above and I respect that. The best thing is whatever it is you are seeing yourself as a proud owner because the real owner owns the decisions. Great! 👍 For Jimny if anything you have to ask the never shy and speak out please. I will do my level best to answer with my capacity. The " Jimny Cookbook Series" is all about in-depth analysis of this car and I have a number of topics aligned. So stay tuned. 👍😊
Thanks for your support and comment. 👍 Not killed yet and Suzuki kept the healthy guy on life support by mistake. 😆 Before it actually die, they really need to revive it because it is not just Jimny but their image in market.
@@MashofreaksAuto Ohh dear friend thanks, btw even here they should have related it to Maruti Suzuki Gypsy and designed it the same way I had an unfulfilled dream of buying a Brand new Maruti Suzuki Gypsy and now with this state of its successor I am again compelled to rethink
Dear Kunal, if you have official booking in back date the you can fight. Escalate this in Suzuki. Dealership is no one to deny the offer given by Suzuki. That amount was officially offered by Suzuki but not the dealer. Complaint on behalf of your booking. Thanks and all the best. 👍
@@MashofreaksAuto I booked 15 Jan 2023. I was made to wait for nine months trying to palm of high end models at overpriced roll out all the while my booking in Zeta MT grey was parked in dealer holdup since 10 Aug 2023. When I escallated to MSIL, they got out mine from holdup. Refused to share the PDI details till i insisted persistanly which exposed their scam of holding mine without delivery since aug till sep end. Finally in Oct I made the full payment where the dealer refused all types of discount possible in corporate or for scrap certficate of previous car. Within next two days of full payment before delivery the MSIL offered Rs 100000 discount Rs 50000 assured and rest conditional which the dealer refused having collected my full payment. I had to really hold my ground steadfast to get the Rs 50000 discount. Thereafter for all the sins of MSIL, only to realise all their pre - bookings and the fictitious hype has vanished with only dead inventories left in their holdups gatherimg dust. Then came the rain of discounts of upto 2-3 lacs to clear dead stock.
Yeah, your point is right but I intentionally did not cover because this not made for power being an offroad vehicle. E.g. Gypsy, is it known for power, no, right? It is another another generation of Gypsy, and this vehicle is totally misunderstood and credit goes to Suzuki. But surely still your point of valid. It is not about Suzuki but didn't want to be biased or unbiased for Jimny itself. Hope, you understand this Surya ji 🙏
They should launch a parallel model which is more family, lifestyle, practical and urban appealing to larger masses like the scorpio N. Probably the sierra five door would revive the jymny.
Vishal Ji, I support your statement. Well, if you talk about the parallel vehicle then Suzuki is offering Grand Vitara in 4WD drive segment which suits to the needs you explained. Normally, vehicle with Jeep DNA or Ladder on Frame chassis are like that only atleast in this price range otherwise have ladder on to price for Jeep Wrangler or the Rubicon etc. Actually, Suzuki is failed to position their vehicles very well, bad marketing, arrogance, mishandling, and so many internal factors. They also failed to handholding the people in such a huge market like India. It is been years Jimny Sierra is running in USA and it is no different vehicle than this. I see it more a social media hype than realization in future which you can match anything close to vehicle like Bronco and few more. Suzuki may come with some sort of uplift in India but probably they will not test again all fresh vehicle in Indian market very soon with the similar kind of capability. I personally found Jimny very capable atleast for Hilly Terrains applications, balanced in highways, not a powerful machine but it does it job. Few shortcomings of comfort we can fix and probably I will bring few more videos on this topic in future. Your comment is valuable. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I see you have a thunder edition. So that shows your Jimny’s kinda new. Wait till it starts producing drivetrain sounds, and suspension problems. Suzuki’s jimny’s design is good, but they failed in mechanical field.
May you are right, many things come across in due course of time and that's the issue with most of the ladder on frame chassis. Remember Old Safari. If one thinks in this way then probably will not be able to enjoy what is there currently. But let's see you may be right 👍
Looking at the second row seats and comfort, can’t see any result of so much time and effort took solely to make Jimny a 5 door. 5 door Jimny comfortable for 2 adults and 2 kids family, that can be served by 3 door Jimny. Along with lack of storage and space issues, the first impression for families is that it’s a cramped car comes with a very high price. Still off-road lovers buy it, obviously Jimny is a reputed off-road vehicle, but the families must be adjusting with it.
Dear Jobin, a very balanced comment. Great to hear that you have a pretty good understanding of the vehicle. Rear seats are also fine with shorter height people as I explained in my first video of "Jimny Cookbook Series". But for a longer height people it can be improved significantly and I will bring a video on this sometime. You will see almost everything about Jimny here. Thanks for commenting. 👍
Hello Srijit, if you can tell me more about your dilemma and use case of your up coming purchase, e.g. kind of terrain you are living in, what is the purpose, are you buying it for cities, highways, offroad, or Is this going to be your only car then I could answer it better. BTW, in general, if you want to know these below then watch the respective videos for better clarity: Why you should not buy Jimny: th-cam.com/video/-Z_QXhHZ3yA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QR56Y3fjHxTZSYmw Why you should buy Jimny: th-cam.com/video/BYeQP8my8AA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jz7z9qesuf0Q6B9B Hope, this helps. Feel free to ask more. Thanks. 👋
One last question Now will Suzuki Jimny will be worth a future investment, yes investment for even if I want to buy it it'll be my only four wheeler Next very important thing a very big factor Suppose if the issue of overpricing is somehow sorted out and along with it the issues such as shaft propeller, fuel tank increase upto 50 litres, options for tyres, storage space increase, incline climbing issue and increased water wading capacity all of them technically possible through Suzuki Will this be worth buying then?
@@Sthithpragnya imo dont buy jimny as your primary car even if it’s priced at 7-8 lakhs on road unless 4x4 is your sole criteria. This is not a family car and I really doubt MSIL addressing the stated issues anytime soon.
@@freakout4775 I'm from Bengaluru and I'd want to have a 4x4 with 5 door. Hence the question Personally I've been a big fan of Maruti Suzuki Gypsy and reviews on TH-cam did mention Suzuki Jimny as a successor of the former
@@Sthithpragnya if u really want to have a 4x4 with 5 door option then it’s a good choice if price u get is justified. Imo 12 lakh on road for the top model is justified. I paid 14.10 lakh for the same. For bengaluru, i think this a good car considering the congested roads. Only issue would be the high turning radius. Moreover, if u plan on using it as family car, i wud advise going for a test drive with your family. I mostly drive it solo so no issues for me. My wife is not really fond of this car due to the congested space inside the cabin.
@@Sthithpragnya also, this is a successor of gypsy but only better with some modern day features. If they had launched a three door version, it wud have been a perfect replacement for gypsy.
Sorry my friend I was on my way to Delhi and did not get a leisure time to answer your question. First of all, you can ask as many questions as you like to and I will be happy to assist you for your queries and for you decisions. Let me try to answer: I do not know the kind of terrain you live in but if you belong to some hill terrain where offroads are an obvious choice then you can keep it as a only 4 wheeler as long as you get a clearance from family and you won't mind waiting for replacement parts which are not in regular use for any possiblereplacement. If you want to drive this only in cities or highways then I would suggest you to keep it as a secondary vehicle. It is actually a very efficient offroader so more and more bhps are a bit irrelevant and all you need is a good low ratio torque converter, in number you will find lesser torque but 4H and 4L compensate it very efficiently. Lastly, for me it is still worth buying but the improvements you have mentioned are so exciting and very welcome. And definitely then it will be a more appealing choice and investment if and only if you have use cases. A friend from Bengaluru already suggested you on pricing. Just in case you like to understand more please feel to ask. Hope, this answers your query! 👋
India is not an ideal market for 4wd vehicles. Gypsy was discontinued because of poor sales. Mahindra Thar is all about ShoShebazi. People demand creature comforts in Jimny rather than focusing on its strong points.
I just wish that they increase its width by 12 more inches/1 feet, give a more power engine and chunky all terrain tyres. Ha one snorkel will actually do wonders to its overall looks and performance ❤ Sir, I can’t thank you enough for this video, I am one of those potential customers who did not buy Jimny due to so many drawbacks. I wish you many more journeys and pleasant memories 🤗🙏🏽
Wonderful share of your POV and I hope all your wishes will be fulfilled soon. Thanks for your support, no worries not today but maybe tomorrow with an improved version you probably go with. Also, many thanks for your wishes! I will keep on posting researched videos in the "Jimny Cookbook Series". Help me to spread my content if you really like it. Stay hopeful, I will keep all of you informed. 👍
Hello 👋 😊, I’m back after a months time Sir ji in your channel, you are the best Jimmy fan out there so I had to come to you first to ask something , I recently got a wonderful job offer in Pune and I’m may end up staying back in India for a few years or so. My inquiry is about Jimny Alpha AT pricing, it will cost me 12.5 L on road, do you think it is a reasonable price? Or should I haggle more? Kindly provide your valuable feedback 🙏🏽
@prash21 Honestly, I have no way to connect you directly but was missing you here on the channel. There are few more I am missing who were quite active e.g. Man Singh Ji, I know many of you are busy. Alpha AT, 12.5 on-road! Don't think twice and go ahead! A big video is going to be published this Sunday regarding AT vs MT. You may book the car and after Sunday's video you may decide my friend. Reach me out for any query you have. And welcome back 😊👍🙏
Any chance of jimny Sierra..... At better pricing learned from jimny 😜. Even though 75% reason for Jimny's failure is pricing....... Your mountain goat example is really true, turbo charged engines breath better than NA in high altitude
Hmnn... Your turbo engine thing is absolutely correct but at extreme hights turbo also start failing, fundamentally NA are more reliable in those tough situations. But yes, I welcome your thoughts because we are not going live at those altitudes. Whatever engine it should have been, Suzuki must have tested it well, which is totally mishandled here. In my opinion, pricing is just 40-50 and the rest is mishandling Jimny and the customer by Suzuki India, very bad. They are just playing with it. Lastly, with the name of Jimny Sierra almost the same Jimny is running in the USA but for a different purpose. Jimny Sierra launch in India looks more hype to me than a reality if at all a new avatar is really coming in. Also, in my opinion Suzuki will avoid launching a new car in India and testing again very soon. What they probably do is to make a facelift I think to avoid launch expenses which are too heavy. This is what I can speculate and foresee at the moment. Thanks for your support and comment. 👍
Well, have you seen real M+S tires? Look at the treads given in stock. H/L compromise M+S. In reality, there are specialised M+S tires with no H/L should have been part of this being it is specialised Offroad vehicle.
the actual mistakes , this video is not talking about. this is basically a 2 seater, even after longer wheel base. the rear seats are uncomfortable (3 wheeler auto type space) , offer so little thigh support. is se acha 2 seater h launch kar dete. 2nd , everything about this is small, engine, spcae, tyre size, road presence, width. etc etc. no utility spaces inside , no arm rest, cheap plastics for a car 18 lacs exshowroom . for comparison check the 10 yr old renault duster awd , they thought they would ride on the success of thar charge so much money for a car which is ooficially a courier car in the UK
@@MashofreaksAuto disappointed for a car that was made so overhyped , in London u can only buy it as a commercial car for Amazon type delivery s . Gussa aata hai suzuki pe.
Jimny got failed because they cheated early buyers . They should have discontinued it rather than offering vegetable market discounts . They have finished brand Jimny . Should have learned from Toyota , they never compromise price just to sel few extra cars . So clearly discount strategy is a blunder but unfortunately Maruti India is not understanding this .
Hmnn... interesting POV. Their arrogance stopped them to reduce price instead of discounts. Probably, they wanted to make fool of early buyers for their hard earned money. Not at all a good strategy. Thanks for comments and sharing your experiences. 👍
That's why instead of going ahead, one should wait and watch. 😂😂😂 Like we did. Got 3.5 lakhs discount when we booked on 29th July 2024. Getting delivery on Monday
If this is the case then still you made the decision at the wrong time because people got a discount of up to 4.5 lakhs. Well, it is not the buyers fault but the Suzuki played with consumers.
@@MashofreaksAuto Yes, Suzuki cheated buyers . But those who are happy with discounts should know that because of these discounts Jimny is not valuable as it would have been . First 6 months it was exclusive and enjoyed high brand value
99% of those buying SUVs have no idea about off-roading. They need something big and menacing to scare other road users and that is something that the Jimny cannot do. The Jimny is a brilliant off-roader but how many in India care about that? Most don't even take their SUVs off the tarmac on highways. To top it up, Maruti messed up the pricing big time and then did some more damage by giving a massive discount to later buyers. That is a sure shot recipe for disaster. Maruti forgot about the early buyers completely. They should have given them something - free service, free roadside assistance, something. I was very tempted myself but after taking a look, I did not feel the size and the impractical cabin with lack of features commanded that price.
I found this comment very interesting and sensible. Your observations are good. You will see many such video in the "Jimny Cookbook Series" and next one is on the cost cuttings done by them. Thanks for commenting and supporting.
sir i have the same roof rack , any diffculty in wind noise? in higher speed it sounds like a jet engine ,,, is it the roof rack or the engine ,, very much confused.
My friend, let me try to help you. First of all, thanks for watching and commenting. 👍 Short Answer: No - roof rack won't create any issue if and only if it is fitted with perfect workmanship. So, fitment is utmost in addition to quality of rack. Long Answer: Suppose you are driving at 100 with no roof rack and you open side mirror then there will be wind gust and lots of noises, right? But as soon as you roll up side glasses, the cabin looks pretty silent, isn't it? So the culprit is not roof rack but the insulation in the car if you are not driving it at high speed with open windows. If you trust me, roof rack increase negligible NVH levels if fitted well. It is something else you need to fix. I drive it up to 120 Km/h on few patches. No such sounds. I did the hood insulation my own which increase the hood weight by 7-8 Kgs. I plan, design and implement it in three layers. You can have a glimpse of it you will watch this video: th-cam.com/video/mBKwmyeOTgU/w-d-xo.html & th-cam.com/video/T9liB1Vn57E/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps and answer your query! And do not stop yourself and feel free to ask more questions and doubts you have. I will be glad to help you.
Before I really answer it tell me it is with side glasses open or closed. What kind of track do you experience this, Highways? And what is the total mileage of your Jimny so far? All these queries are important to answer your question thoroughly. And do not worry, you can ask as many questions as you want.
@@MashofreaksAuto sir its a normal road ,, and my milage its just 8.5 right now my jimny is just 3 weeks old.. and i upgraded my tyres also to apollo apterra 2 225/70/15. and there is also a sound like a clunk in fist gear while up hill , and i live in hilly area lots of uphill and down hills.
Okay, now I got it. Clunk in first gear in steep up hill is a normal behaviour of Jimny. There is some issue which I highlight in detail in my next videos currently research is going on. That jet like sound could be your tire and yes on high revv Jimny also do some ghoooon like sound which is not to worry but if it is unusual then check any other vehicle. In my car, no issues because in stock tires I enjoyed almost all terrains. Today's 1 pm video could help to understand this. Go chapter by chapter without skipping any for best understanding. AT tires normally do more sound than HT or the stock H/L tires. Please ask the question if you still have. Watch today's video before the next question which possibly answers your tire related questions. I am here to answer all your questions. Thanks.
Was MSIL influenced by success of Toyota Fortuner in India, probably they thought just offer a fantastic car and it will create its own fan base and influence market. Few negative points you raised here on Jimny, Fortuner still carry those negatives but its sales numbers are fantastic. I sense Jimny do suffer from MSIL cheap car producer brand, it just dilutes the brand of lifestyle car like Jimny. Overall very disappointed with Jimny sales number, less than fortuner which is priced 3 to 4x. In hindsight I feel Suzuki discounted presence and success of Thar, particularly RWD price. Recommend MSIL to provide more torque to engine or else settle for 1000 ~ 1500 units a month. Otherwise drop price further and aim at rural, but be ready for cannibalize effect (brezza)
Hmnn... You have a very interesting viewpoint. 👍 In simple and short, Jimny is the most mishandled by Suzuki and misunderstood vehicle in the Indian Automobile Industry.
@@MashofreaksAutoI agree when u say misunderstood product. Has Indian car market really matured for 4x4? I ask this question because we need a comparison between sales of products offering both 4x4 vs 4x2 for same trim level, answer lies here. Second intriguing point is success or better say absence of petrol 4x4. Probably torque plays role here. As per information available, Thar Roxx will not be offered in petrol 4x4. Scorpio & XUV 700 also don’t offer petrol 4x4 and AWD version nor do Jeep Compass
@pawankumarsingh007 for the next part of you comment only I said mishandled vehicle because Suzuki positioned it wrongly. This is really an offraod vehicle which also has some level of capability on the road as well. I said that multiple times in multiple forums that not many in our country do the offroading but that does not mean people do not want to or there are not many who potentially lean towards starting or learning it as a new skill, it is a big country with lots of potential. Suzuki mishandled it completely to make those potential customers or who bought it to some level. For torque, I can agree to some extent but that is not a show stopper specially on hills for many use cases. I am not saying this is the best petrol offroader but it is not that bad as well and widely misunderstood my friend. I drove this already thousands of Kms in the hills and I am really happy but that does not mean I am biased as well. I always want to be neutral on this. Thanks for your comment and support.
The initial overpriced launch with fictitious hype about non existing long waiting list and scheming attempts to palm off top end models to early birds at over priced rollout. While the launch roll out was overpriced to fleece the early birds cumulated with lot of price cutting measures in the build like poor suspension, wrong tyre size, low battery capacity, thin flimsy body, low specs in goodies, underpowered old engine has killed their credibility. Kill the competition was to be the marketing mantra they fell prey to their own greed to kill themselves up against competition. On top of it huge discount options to later buyer only to boost sales having fleeced early bird hammered all the nails required in their coffin for their credibility in jimny. All the sins of having fleeced the early birds has caught up with them to bury them against competition. Early birds who were supposed to be their marketing ambassadors are today after having got the feeling cheated are quite reserved with good words which would have secured market for MSIL
Jimny is one of the most mishandled vehicle in Indian Automobile Industry! You are right, it is not at all a flop! Not just Himachal but Uttrakhand, Ladakh, J&K, Rajasthan, seven sister states, Kerala, Tamilnadu, Karnataka and many other states, it sold decently well. The issue is that many people misunderstood this vehicle after it was totally mishandled by Suzuki.
Yes, fluctuations of price more worrying factor than overpriced itself. I mentioned about the expected pricing in this video as well. Suzuki should stop listening to automobile journalists and should start listening to existing and potential customers'.
Its a flop not because of only marketing and launch failures. Its a flop because its nothing special just a cheap, short lasting, use and throw toy: 1) Design problem of steering vibration that needs king pins + rotors + pads (+ steering damper optional) to be regularly replaced every 10k kms or so. A cost of INR 10000 +. Maruti is showing recalls and defective king pins to make it look like as on odd issue or defect and not any long term problem, but the wobble is regular wear and tear, replacing the parts Maruti is just procastinating the issue till its out of warranty. Note there is no fix for wobble it needs regular change of the above parts every 10k kms or maybe every oil change 2) Over priced. Should be cheaper than Brezza base i.e. should be 8 lakhs on the road. Build quality is same as other maruti cars (average/cheaper side, not upto SUV or rugged standards) , safety rating is 3 stars. Weighs same as brezza (1200 kgs). For comparison scorpio and bolero weigh above 1900/1700 + kgs. If 1900 kgs steel sells for 16Lakh, what should 1200kg steel sell for? Leave apart the diesel, power, ruggedness, road presence, resalve value and looks factor. Compare it with a Nexon and punch in real, not on youtube 3) Fuel economy of 11-12 kmpl 4) Super costly spares, cost as much as fortuner. Radiator costs 24000, grease seal on front axle wheel hub thats just a rubber costs 1800. King pin (505x4), brake rotors(2200x2), brake pads (3400) cost too much and need to be changed every 10000 km if you don't want steering wobble 5) Unavailability of parts or too long to procure even in service center. Generally takes 3 weeks for any part. No local inventory 6) Bad braking, stopping distance. Too big a turning radius of 5.7 m. For comparison Scorpio turning radius is 5.4m, bolero 5.7m, hatchbacks typically have 5.1m. Try a tight u-turn and you can see the problem. It takes too much space to turn 7) Uncomfortable in rear and barely survivable even in front. Driving for 100+ kms is not comfortable for the price one pays 8) Very low engine power. Small and thin tires and wheels because with such a low engine power thats all it can handle 9) Zero innovation than prevous or older models, just a face lift, with all the flaws stll there 10) High altitude brake vaccum problem, prepeller rubbing problem, etc. However I haven't verified these 2 myself 11) Boot door loosens and sags over time very quickly due to poor build and heavy spare wheel mounted 12) Ground clearnace is only 210mm and is just a number and if you look carefully even fronx, ignis, brezza look equally high from the road. Don't compare numbers, kneel down and look under the cars to compare. IMO there is not too much this vehcile can do which a TATA nano cannot 13) Absolutely zero after market support. Its an off roader, where will one get it repaired if it breaks somewhere in himalyas. Add the lack of mechanics and spare availability, chances are one will face a nightmare if such a thing happens 14) Garbage after 5 years (50000km) and no resale value. Chances are it won't be working by that time as most people will not be able to get it repaired due to parts unavailable and/or mechanics not used to it. 15) Discontinued in europe and sooner than later will be discontinued in every country including India. Hence Suzuki tries to find a new 3rd world country to sell it every few years Its a use and throw toy, not a vehicle. Its a global flop in todays world no matter how respected it was in the ancient past or Gypsy time. I will be surprised to see if it sells even if Maruti starts selling it at 8 lakh on the road price
Hmnn, being it is quite subjective what exactly every individual wants but yes I agree with broadly on your point of view. Thanks for your contribution and comment. 👍
Jimny is by a foreign brand!🤢 Every true Indian will prefer dying and breathing its last breath in an Indian Brand Vehicle than any foreign brand. Even passers-by prefer to be crushed under Mahindra Thar than by a Jimny. Ask Lakhimpur Khiri victims.💪 Go "Vocal for Local"!🇮🇳 Respect for Ratan Tata sir and Anand Mahindra sir!🙏🚩
they could have increased sale by atleast 20-30% by giving it good aggressive looking offroad tyres and basic accessories like snorkel and roof rack factory fitted. it would have been taken more seriously as an incredible offroad vehicle. Insead they launched it with zero accessories, malnourished tyres and childish candy colors to attract city buyers😅😅
Great video again..
Bad marketing and negative sentiments killed Jimny in India.
Thank you so much for your support! 👍
You have right said, I still see chances for Jimny if Suzuki does not hesitate, accept, and learn from the mistakes. BTW, Japanese people are very good at that. Let's see. Thanks again 😊👋
Jimny has altogether missed the Bus now and the shean now with Thar Roxx launch and thier initial blunder in early bird launch fleece failed game plan to create fictitious demand bubble.
Paying for your sins
#marutisuzuki
You are almost there 👍
Me too did the same... I booked the vehicle before price launch, cancelled immediately after price launch but eventually bought after these huge discounts.... Except for the huge turning radius and no seat height adjustment loving the car though..... And last but not least thank you mahindra thar for not letting maruti ripp off customers by over pricing jimny
Thanks for comment and support!
Great to you are enjoying this smallest offroader petrol car in the world. A great kid mishandled by Suzuki.
Like yours, many stories in there and it is always great to hear about experiences. 👍
HUGE TURNING RADIUS is the ultimate DAMPENER since it makes even city commuting absolutely a horrendous task, despite its lean figure
And 90 percent buyers aren't into OFF ROADING here,nor did they buy it for exclusive THAT purpose, ALONE
Neither a city car,nor a family car....if someone is still falling for the sunday bazaar sabzi mandi discounts
Buy it if u intend doing off road PRIMARILY
Else,stay away and do t Fall into DISCOUNT TRAP
Jai Hind! Indeed if someone is only buying this for a discount. One should buy this for its capabilities but not for comparison or discounts. Unfortunately, it is one of the most understood vehicles ever in the Indian automobile industry.
Your comment makes a lot of sense.
The car needs about 35 more BHP and about 45 NM more torque. It also needs a seat height adjuster and about 30mm more GC. A driver arm rest with storage would also be useful.
Water wading capacity of 300mm is too less; but that is hard to fix.
And the Alpha AT needs to be 10 lacs on road max.
Except increading GC, 2 inch bigger tires and change in suspension to accommodate the tire, none of the other things are fixable especially NA engine.
Honestly speaking I am enjoying this ins stock. But your POV makes lot of sense to me. 👍
@@MashofreaksAuto
It’s quite simple really.
The car has no power, no torque, no real fuel economy, no space for a family, no storage spaces, no seat height adjustment, no road presence, and for an off roader, it has no meaningful water wading capacity!!
And for all this Maruti wants 17.5 lacs on road!! What rubbish!!
The Espresso is half the price and doesn’t have dedicated 4x4 and that car is more useful than this Jimny. Go to any Himalayan town and you will be stunned by the number of Altos and Espressos.
Saying that the Jimny is successful in the west and so implying that we Indians are somehow uninformed country brutes is downright racist in my opinion. So what if some westerners have money to throw around for a fancy car to enjoy with on the weekends?! That is not our value system. Here we believe in function and utility. Even road presence is about utility - it is useful on the road to be able to get noticed.
So if you bring the car here to this market then make it align with our value system of function and value for money.
The Jimny engineers said that they didn’t have time to tune this engine to get good power for India. This when they had 5 full years!! What they were doing for those years God only knows!!
I am not a Thar fan. In fact I think that the Thar is a show off car and nothing else. I test drove the Jimny. Twice. I so badly want to like it as I think it looks amazing. During both test drives, I floored the pedal and there was literally no forward movement. There was a ton of body roll in the turns. Without seat height adjustment I couldn’t see past the wiper base actually. Had to sit on pillows. How the Jimny doesn’t provide seat height adjustment is beyond me. Good visibility and ability to see past the bonnet is a basic requirement; especially in off road.
All in all, Maruti screwed up big time. The car didn’t fail because of the internet. The car failed because it is bad product for our market and it is overpriced at that. This car isn’t worth more than 9 lacs on road as it stands now.
At the very least the car needs a better engine and better transmission. It also needs more storage and weight sensors for rear seats. Did I mention the annoying beeps for no seat belt in the rear when no one is sitting there?
You have many valid points shows you are not at all novice and I respect them.
Well I do hands on with these vehicles, day and night being from the hills. Give Alto, I can virtually go anywhere but discussion is not that. Well, price is really rubishh and I am completely agree with you. Trust me I inclined Shinkula from Zansker with loaded capacity of 600kgs in it and it did its job beautifully. Saying no power and no torque is an easier thing. I am not at all biased or anti but sharing my real time experience with you. Throughout copper plugs you will see the difference. Jimny has not failed here but my friend is badly positioned and the worst prices are posted on us. I don't want to say it is a high performance car but it makes all kinds of commutes easier in the hills than many others because skinny, small, light. Think of an upgraded Gypsy but heavily overpriced my friend.
@@MashofreaksAuto me being a novice or expert is irrelevant. I agree with your assessment that the car is working for you. But that’s not the main requirement for sales. To sell well, it has to work well for lots of people.
People will counter saying that the Jimny isn’t for everyone and that it is only for a small group of discerning enthusiasts. If so then why cry about low sales? All this hand wringing about Jimny being a failure means that it hasn’t worked for lots of people, some enthusiasts included.
Our market is about volumes. To succeed here one has to sell many copies of any given car. Maruti of all people should know that. Maruti isn’t a Bugatti who will sell one car to one rich person every 6 months and call it a day.
And Jimny hasn’t sold in any significant numbers to be called a success by any measure. I remember that the Ritz (which is a fabulous car) was selling about 2000 units a months when Maruti pulled the plug on it citing inadequate sales. So now with Jimny not even selling at 4 digits per month I can imagine what the management at Maruti must be thinking. They screwed up. They know it now.
While having good 4x4 capability is always great; it can’t be the only USP of a car here. We need our cars to do lots of things. Absolutely no one is going to go climbing up a rocky dirt track everyday. But we will be taking our highways everyday. So the car needs to have power. Even if I want to go to Ladakh I have to drive 1800 kms of highway. At Jimny’s comfortable speed, it will take me 50% more time to get to Ladakh or Spiti where I will enjoy the car.
Maruti got carried away with all the social media noise about bringing Jimny to India while forgetting what this market truly values - function, versatility and cost savings.
As I already said in the video as well, it is a totally mishandled and misunderstood product. If someone bought it for the highway to cruise with, take the wrong decision. Just look at it as the newest generation of Gypsy which is more refined, bit more capable and with some modern gears. The entire issue as you said is misunderstanding the product. Anyway I also respect your concerns but this is how it is. One mistake done by Suzuki and another is done by who bought this and is now regretting. I drove 3 door Jimny 2 other countries before so I know what it is exactly. Thanks for your comments and support.
Excellent narration Sir.
Actually now Sujuki should relaunch JIMNY with a hybrid or CNG option, a better storage system for water bottles/mobiles, better placement of switches, better profiled AT tyres, better turning radius, smoother gearbox/stearing system, second raw seat needs to be made more comfortable.
Manoj ji, many thanks for watching and supporting! 👍
Your suggestions to Suzuki are really valuable. Hopefully, these will reach them. Relaunch will not be very soon. May be by the end of 2025 or mid of 2026. Right now the priority is recall and fix the issues in the vehicle.
Keep supporting and please help me to spread the content. Thanks again 👋
I think Suzuki became greedy and just stretched the 3 door without any proper testing or structural changes. Ideally they should launch the 3 door and price that to 7 lakh on road.
The 5 door needs to and it will eventually be discontinued very soon due to design flaws
Wow Sir Amazing Video ...Maruti Suzuki should take notes from this video 😂😂😂
Thanks for your comment and support! 👍👋
Good one! I hope the Toyota’s JV with GAC might help Suzuki, sadly today its Jetour T2 & many other competitors are ahead of the game.
With access to so much information, consumers have matured & Maruti is still playing old cards…lNot just Jimny, sadly GV, Swift too requires a refresher to stay relevant in both National & International markets…..
Sandeep ji, it is a great value add to the form and thanks for watching/supporting.
As far as I know Suzuki refused to share Jimny with the Toyota GV. Suzuki actually thought after the success of New age Baleno then Fronx, they will be able to push Jimny without facelifting it to modern gears with any price. This is the time they should learn from market feedback ASAP. Suzuki will not find a bigger market than India, has lots of potential and must learn what is Indian buyers' need.
Tell jimny manufacturers to make sizes dimensions bigger with stronger engine power
Hmnn, noted 👍
Excellent released !!
👌👌
Agree with you.
Suzuki or anyone else should understand the buyer trends.
Although Tata is far ahead of Suzuki in this stupidity
Thanks for watching and supporting! 👋
Yes true in a few aspects, especially support. 👍
Great video. Covered all points in detail. This was my first maruti vehicle and with the betrayal that maruti has done, I’m never ever going to buy another Maruti vehicle in my life. Cant even sell the car now. Resale value m gonna get will be significantly low now. Pissed af
Many thanks for watching my friend.
How does Suzuki deal with Jimny and the customer is awful. I can understand your situation and there are many stories like this and people here have strong emoticons with vehicles.
Keep supporting and please help me to spread the content. Probably these feedbacks will go to Suzuki India to take serious steps in favour of customers. Thanks again 👋
You should rather enjoy the car and watch out for better opportunity next time
@@swarnaditya well i actually need this car for the kind of roads we have here. Love driving it but disappointed with how MSIL have handled this product.
@@freakout4775 nobody is perfect. This car is as perfect and as multipurpose it can get. And with the discounts it makes a lot of financial sense. Wait for another discount rain. Should happen around November December. Keep in touch with 2-3 dealers. Grab it when you feel the best time is. Enjoy the accessoring of it along with the ownership experience.
@@swarnaditya i already have this car. Bought it for 14.10 lakhs on road in December 2023. Alpha MT kinetic yellow. No issues with this car but the pricing. Feel like i have been cheated. That’s it.
Great and Awesome video 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉
Rewarding compliments, thanks 🙏
Giving the naturally aspirated engine while competitors offer turbo engines can be another reason. Plus the old gear box both in MT & AT version is one major reason for downfall of Jimny. others r providing 6 speed MT or AT whereas Maruti is still using 5 speed MT and 4 speed AT
Thanks for watching and valuable commenting. All these topics are on the way and in my list to discuss in detail in dedicated video. NA engines are not bad, they have their own merits but yes people look for more power at this price.
MT gear box is good and proven especially coupling with this motor, it's only problematic for those who need a much smoother gear shift but this is how most ladders on frame chassis behave in this price range.
Suzuki did not put a 6 speed torque converter because it would take another delay of 1 year to test it and the cost. We will discuss all these in dedicated video in the "Jimny Cookbook Series", thanks.
@@abhisekghosh899 turbo engines fails in extreme weather conditions
@@WebosNonehow?
Great video. One short query : does the roof rack, creates any trouble while driving apart from wind noise. And also how effectively we can cater the wind noise from roof rack in the Jimmy?
Amit ji, thanks for watching and support. 👍
You have two questions here:
To answer first one, roof rack won't create any issue if and only if it is fitted with perfect workmanship. So, fitment is utmost in addition to quality of rack.
To answer second question, suppose you are driving at 100 with no roof rack and you open side mirror then there will be wind gust and lots of noises, right? But as soon as you roll up side glasses, the cabin looks pretty silent, isn't it? So the culprit is not roof rack but the insulation in the car. If you trust me, roof rack increase negligible NVH levels if fitted well. It is something else you need to fix.
Hope that helps and answer your query! In my next videos you will see resolutions of many issues of Jimny. Thanks.
@@MashofreaksAuto thank-you !
Most welcome and feel free to ask any query you have.

I own a Jimny, I am an early buyer, I know I paid premium but I am so happy with my vehicle. One good thing noted by sir in the video is the stupid Highway tread tyres as stock. This made Jimny heavily disarmed against That in stock comparison videos. Had Jimny been equipped with M/T or A/T tyres as stock it would have made huge impact in online comparisons.
My Dear friend, I am happy that you are happy with the vehicle. Whatever it is you own your decisions and you like the vehicle too, impressive. Well, one thing, these tyres are not very good I agree but really not stupid too. These tyres have some hidden strengths. I am not advocating these but what I am saying is that all categories of tyres have some good and bad. On 7th Sept, you will see a detailed and lengthiest video I have on Jimny so far in "JIMNY Cookbook Series". It will be a postmortem of around 20 minutes. Please stay tuned if you are too interested. 😊👍

Muruti suzuki jimmy launch in 5door as company was greedy by over price and not launching 3door jimmy in india
Thanks for commenting and watching. You have rightly pointed out. 👍
Greed take us nowhere 😄
I bought the Jimny when the discounts were not there, and was a bit disappointed when the discounts came in. One thing that i noticed was that the sales person did not know much about the vehicle. For example why the turning radius is so high and the steering so heavy (comparatively), what's the power to weigh ratio etc, which i asked just to test him, having done my homework. But such sales person spread misinformation which can translate to disappointed owners later on. I knew what i was getting, and what were the workarounds for the issues, so I'm happy with my Jimny. Great points though in this video, the Jimny is a great platform which is not handled well.
Being a customer and owner I can understand you are coming from and you are quite genuine on every word you wrote above and I respect that. The best thing is whatever it is you are seeing yourself as a proud owner because the real owner owns the decisions. Great! 👍
For Jimny if anything you have to ask the never shy and speak out please. I will do my level best to answer with my capacity. The " Jimny Cookbook Series" is all about in-depth analysis of this car and I have a number of topics aligned. So stay tuned. 👍😊
A good 4x4 vehicle killed by overpricing and bad marketing 😢
Thanks for your support and comment. 👍
Not killed yet and Suzuki kept the healthy guy on life support by mistake. 😆
Before it actually die, they really need to revive it because it is not just Jimny but their image in market.
@@MashofreaksAuto Ohh dear friend thanks, btw even here they should have related it to Maruti Suzuki Gypsy and designed it the same way
I had an unfulfilled dream of buying a Brand new Maruti Suzuki Gypsy and now with this state of its successor I am again compelled to rethink
Go ahead my friend 😊👍
The Main Reason was only the Price..... which was at least 2 Lakhs overpriced..... Now they should Compensate the early buyers......
That's true and behind that price was their Brand Arrogance which made them think that it should be the price. 😊👍
I booked one when it got discounted 3.3lacs but they didn't deliver. Now, dey say the discounts have been reduced.
Dear Kunal, if you have official booking in back date the you can fight. Escalate this in Suzuki. Dealership is no one to deny the offer given by Suzuki. That amount was officially offered by Suzuki but not the dealer. Complaint on behalf of your booking.
Thanks and all the best. 👍
Thanks 👍 shall do it immediately.
Good luck and keep posted, ai wish you will get it on your conditions. 👍
@@MashofreaksAuto I booked 15 Jan 2023. I was made to wait for nine months trying to palm of high end models at overpriced roll out all the while my booking in Zeta MT grey was parked in dealer holdup since 10 Aug 2023. When I escallated to MSIL, they got out mine from holdup. Refused to share the PDI details till i insisted persistanly which exposed their scam of holding mine without delivery since aug till sep end. Finally in Oct I made the full payment where the dealer refused all types of discount possible in corporate or for scrap certficate of previous car. Within next two days of full payment before delivery the MSIL offered Rs 100000 discount Rs 50000 assured and rest conditional which the dealer refused having collected my full payment. I had to really hold my ground steadfast to get the Rs 50000 discount. Thereafter for all the sins of MSIL, only to realise all their pre - bookings and the fictitious hype has vanished with only dead inventories left in their holdups gatherimg dust. Then came the rain of discounts of upto 2-3 lacs to clear dead stock.
I'm waiting for this to come in the second hand car market. Would have loved to buy it if this was 10 lakh on road price.
You smartly picked the great take away from this video 👍
U have missed the main reason is power it is not providing 1.4 turbo which is available in other markets
Yeah, your point is right but I intentionally did not cover because this not made for power being an offroad vehicle. E.g. Gypsy, is it known for power, no, right? It is another another generation of Gypsy, and this vehicle is totally misunderstood and credit goes to Suzuki. But surely still your point of valid. It is not about Suzuki but didn't want to be biased or unbiased for Jimny itself. Hope, you understand this Surya ji 🙏
They should launch a parallel model which is more family, lifestyle, practical and urban appealing to larger masses like the scorpio N. Probably the sierra five door would revive the jymny.
Vishal Ji, I support your statement.
Well, if you talk about the parallel vehicle then Suzuki is offering Grand Vitara in 4WD drive segment which suits to the needs you explained. Normally, vehicle with Jeep DNA or Ladder on Frame chassis are like that only atleast in this price range otherwise have ladder on to price for Jeep Wrangler or the Rubicon etc. Actually, Suzuki is failed to position their vehicles very well, bad marketing, arrogance, mishandling, and so many internal factors. They also failed to handholding the people in such a huge market like India.
It is been years Jimny Sierra is running in USA and it is no different vehicle than this. I see it more a social media hype than realization in future which you can match anything close to vehicle like Bronco and few more.
Suzuki may come with some sort of uplift in India but probably they will not test again all fresh vehicle in Indian market very soon with the similar kind of capability.
I personally found Jimny very capable atleast for Hilly Terrains applications, balanced in highways, not a powerful machine but it does it job. Few shortcomings of comfort we can fix and probably I will bring few more videos on this topic in future.
Your comment is valuable. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I see you have a thunder edition. So that shows your Jimny’s kinda new. Wait till it starts producing drivetrain sounds, and suspension problems. Suzuki’s jimny’s design is good, but they failed in mechanical field.
May you are right, many things come across in due course of time and that's the issue with most of the ladder on frame chassis. Remember Old Safari. If one thinks in this way then probably will not be able to enjoy what is there currently. But let's see you may be right 👍
Looking at the second row seats and comfort, can’t see any result of so much time and effort took solely to make Jimny a 5 door. 5 door Jimny comfortable for 2 adults and 2 kids family, that can be served by 3 door Jimny. Along with lack of storage and space issues, the first impression for families is that it’s a cramped car comes with a very high price. Still off-road lovers buy it, obviously Jimny is a reputed off-road vehicle, but the families must be adjusting with it.
Dear Jobin, a very balanced comment. Great to hear that you have a pretty good understanding of the vehicle. Rear seats are also fine with shorter height people as I explained in my first video of "Jimny Cookbook Series". But for a longer height people it can be improved significantly and I will bring a video on this sometime.
You will see almost everything about Jimny here.
Thanks for commenting. 👍
In my opinion the only mistake they have made is the name... They should have kept the GIPSY HORSE
👍
I have booked my alpha AT. But Now in a dilemma whether to consider buying it.
As an user, is the car worth buying?
Hello Srijit, if you can tell me more about your dilemma and use case of your up coming purchase, e.g. kind of terrain you are living in, what is the purpose, are you buying it for cities, highways, offroad, or Is this going to be your only car then I could answer it better.

Let's say 85% cities and 15% offroad .
You can if it is not your primary vehicle.
One last question
Now will Suzuki Jimny will be worth a future investment, yes investment for even if I want to buy it it'll be my only four wheeler
Next very important thing a very big factor
Suppose if the issue of overpricing is somehow sorted out and along with it the issues such as shaft propeller, fuel tank increase upto 50 litres, options for tyres, storage space increase, incline climbing issue and increased water wading capacity all of them technically possible through Suzuki
Will this be worth buying then?
@@Sthithpragnya imo dont buy jimny as your primary car even if it’s priced at 7-8 lakhs on road unless 4x4 is your sole criteria. This is not a family car and I really doubt MSIL addressing the stated issues anytime soon.

@@Sthithpragnya if u really want to have a 4x4 with 5 door option then it’s a good choice if price u get is justified. Imo 12 lakh on road for the top model is justified. I paid 14.10 lakh for the same. For bengaluru, i think this a good car considering the congested roads. Only issue would be the high turning radius. Moreover, if u plan on using it as family car, i wud advise going for a test drive with your family. I mostly drive it solo so no issues for me. My wife is not really fond of this car due to the congested space inside the cabin.
@@Sthithpragnya also, this is a successor of gypsy but only better with some modern day features. If they had launched a three door version, it wud have been a perfect replacement for gypsy.
Sorry my friend I was on my way to Delhi and did not get a leisure time to answer your question. First of all, you can ask as many questions as you like to and I will be happy to assist you for your queries and for you decisions. Let me try to answer:
I do not know the kind of terrain you live in but if you belong to some hill terrain where offroads are an obvious choice then you can keep it as a only 4 wheeler as long as you get a clearance from family and you won't mind waiting for replacement parts which are not in regular use for any possiblereplacement.
If you want to drive this only in cities or highways then I would suggest you to keep it as a secondary vehicle.
It is actually a very efficient offroader so more and more bhps are a bit irrelevant and all you need is a good low ratio torque converter, in number you will find lesser torque but 4H and 4L compensate it very efficiently.
Lastly, for me it is still worth buying but the improvements you have mentioned are so exciting and very welcome. And definitely then it will be a more appealing choice and investment if and only if you have use cases.
A friend from Bengaluru already suggested you on pricing.
Just in case you like to understand more please feel to ask.
Hope, this answers your query! 👋
India is not an ideal market for 4wd vehicles. Gypsy was discontinued because of poor sales. Mahindra Thar is all about ShoShebazi. People demand creature comforts in Jimny rather than focusing on its strong points.
You have a good viewpoint, that's true most of the people in India don't do Offroad. 👍
Sir,still discount is going in Bangalore
That's very good and we all deserve this. Happy buying 👏👏👏
I just wish that they increase its width by 12 more inches/1 feet, give a more power engine and chunky all terrain tyres. Ha one snorkel will actually do wonders to its overall looks and performance ❤ Sir, I can’t thank you enough for this video, I am one of those potential customers who did not buy Jimny due to so many drawbacks.
I wish you many more journeys and pleasant memories 🤗🙏🏽
Wonderful share of your POV and I hope all your wishes will be fulfilled soon.
Thanks for your support, no worries not today but maybe tomorrow with an improved version you probably go with.
Also, many thanks for your wishes! I will keep on posting researched videos in the "Jimny Cookbook Series".
Help me to spread my content if you really like it. Stay hopeful, I will keep all of you informed. 👍
Hello 👋 😊,
I’m back after a months time Sir ji in your channel, you are the best Jimmy fan out there so I had to come to you first to ask something , I recently got a wonderful job offer in Pune and I’m may end up staying back in India for a few years or so.
My inquiry is about Jimny Alpha AT pricing, it will cost me 12.5 L on road, do you think it is a reasonable price? Or should I haggle more?
Kindly provide your valuable feedback 🙏🏽
@prash21 Honestly, I have no way to connect you directly but was missing you here on the channel. There are few more I am missing who were quite active e.g. Man Singh Ji, I know many of you are busy.
Alpha AT, 12.5 on-road! Don't think twice and go ahead!
A big video is going to be published this Sunday regarding AT vs MT. You may book the car and after Sunday's video you may decide my friend.
Reach me out for any query you have.
And welcome back 😊👍🙏
Any chance of jimny Sierra..... At better pricing learned from jimny 😜.
Even though 75% reason for Jimny's failure is pricing....... Your mountain goat example is really true, turbo charged engines breath better than NA in high altitude
Hmnn... Your turbo engine thing is absolutely correct but at extreme hights turbo also start failing, fundamentally NA are more reliable in those tough situations. But yes, I welcome your thoughts because we are not going live at those altitudes. Whatever engine it should have been, Suzuki must have tested it well, which is totally mishandled here.
In my opinion, pricing is just 40-50 and the rest is mishandling Jimny and the customer by Suzuki India, very bad. They are just playing with it.
Lastly, with the name of Jimny Sierra almost the same Jimny is running in the USA but for a different purpose. Jimny Sierra launch in India looks more hype to me than a reality if at all a new avatar is really coming in. Also, in my opinion Suzuki will avoid launching a new car in India and testing again very soon. What they probably do is to make a facelift I think to avoid launch expenses which are too heavy.
This is what I can speculate and foresee at the moment.
Thanks for your support and comment. 👍
It is a mud and snow tyre. M+S is clearly written on the stock tyres
Well, then you are a specially treated luckiest fellow if you got M+S.
@@MashofreaksAuto check your tyre. Every stock tyre is M+S rated H/L and not H/T.
Well, have you seen real M+S tires? Look at the treads given in stock. H/L compromise M+S. In reality, there are specialised M+S tires with no H/L should have been part of this being it is specialised Offroad vehicle.
The company underestimated the intellect of Indian consumers.
And negotiations skills as well.
@@MashofreaksAuto Yes
the actual mistakes , this video is not talking about. this is basically a 2 seater, even after longer wheel base. the rear seats are uncomfortable (3 wheeler auto type space) , offer so little thigh support. is se acha 2 seater h launch kar dete. 2nd , everything about this is small, engine, spcae, tyre size, road presence, width. etc etc. no utility spaces inside , no arm rest, cheap plastics for a car 18 lacs exshowroom . for comparison check the 10 yr old renault duster awd , they thought they would ride on the success of thar charge so much money for a car which is ooficially a courier car in the UK
Three door Jimny launch na karna Suzuki ki bahut badi galti hai.
Good to hear your opinion! 👍
@@MashofreaksAuto disappointed for a car that was made so overhyped , in London u can only buy it as a commercial car for Amazon type delivery s . Gussa aata hai suzuki pe.
Well, it's just because of emission regulations, if the same implies here then almost 90% of cars will go off from the Indian roads my friend.
Wow. Nice review.
Thanks mate 😊👍
Jimny got failed because they cheated early buyers . They should have discontinued it rather than offering vegetable market discounts . They have finished brand Jimny . Should have learned from Toyota , they never compromise price just to sel few extra cars . So clearly discount strategy is a blunder but unfortunately Maruti India is not understanding this .
Hmnn... interesting POV. Their arrogance stopped them to reduce price instead of discounts. Probably, they wanted to make fool of early buyers for their hard earned money. Not at all a good strategy.
Thanks for comments and sharing your experiences. 👍
That's why instead of going ahead, one should wait and watch. 😂😂😂 Like we did. Got 3.5 lakhs discount when we booked on 29th July 2024. Getting delivery on Monday
If this is the case then still you made the decision at the wrong time because people got a discount of up to 4.5 lakhs. Well, it is not the buyers fault but the Suzuki played with consumers.
@@MashofreaksAuto Yes, Suzuki cheated buyers . But those who are happy with discounts should know that because of these discounts Jimny is not valuable as it would have been . First 6 months it was exclusive and enjoyed high brand value
Rightly pointed out, I am with you!
99% of those buying SUVs have no idea about off-roading.
They need something big and menacing to scare other road users and that is something that the Jimny cannot do.
The Jimny is a brilliant off-roader but how many in India care about that? Most don't even take their SUVs off the tarmac on highways.
To top it up, Maruti messed up the pricing big time and then did some more damage by giving a massive discount to later buyers. That is a sure shot recipe for disaster.
Maruti forgot about the early buyers completely. They should have given them something - free service, free roadside assistance, something.
I was very tempted myself but after taking a look, I did not feel the size and the impractical cabin with lack of features commanded that price.
I found this comment very interesting and sensible. Your observations are good. You will see many such video in the "Jimny Cookbook Series" and next one is on the cost cuttings done by them.
Thanks for commenting and supporting.
@@MashofreaksAuto 👍🏼👍🏼
@finderskeepers7293 😊👍
sir i have the same roof rack , any diffculty in wind noise? in higher speed it sounds like a jet engine ,,, is it the roof rack or the engine ,, very much confused.
My friend, let me try to help you.
First of all, thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
Short Answer: No - roof rack won't create any issue if and only if it is fitted with perfect workmanship. So, fitment is utmost in addition to quality of rack.
Long Answer:
Suppose you are driving at 100 with no roof rack and you open side mirror then there will be wind gust and lots of noises, right? But as soon as you roll up side glasses, the cabin looks pretty silent, isn't it? So the culprit is not roof rack but the insulation in the car if you are not driving it at high speed with open windows. If you trust me, roof rack increase negligible NVH levels if fitted well. It is something else you need to fix.
I drive it up to 120 Km/h on few patches. No such sounds. I did the hood insulation my own which increase the hood weight by 7-8 Kgs. I plan, design and implement it in three layers. You can have a glimpse of it you will watch this video:

Hope that helps and answer your query! And do not stop yourself and feel free to ask more questions and doubts you have. I will be glad to help you.
@@MashofreaksAuto thank you sir ! my last question does your jimny sound like jet engine in higher rpm i mean like when you reach 50km/h and above?
Before I really answer it tell me it is with side glasses open or closed.
What kind of track do you experience this, Highways?
And what is the total mileage of your Jimny so far?
All these queries are important to answer your question thoroughly.
And do not worry, you can ask as many questions as you want.
@@MashofreaksAuto sir its a normal road ,, and my milage its just 8.5 right now my jimny is just 3 weeks old.. and i upgraded my tyres also to apollo apterra 2 225/70/15. and there is also a sound like a clunk in fist gear while up hill , and i live in hilly area lots of uphill and down hills.
Okay, now I got it. Clunk in first gear in steep up hill is a normal behaviour of Jimny. There is some issue which I highlight in detail in my next videos currently research is going on.
That jet like sound could be your tire and yes on high revv Jimny also do some ghoooon like sound which is not to worry but if it is unusual then check any other vehicle.
In my car, no issues because in stock tires I enjoyed almost all terrains. Today's 1 pm video could help to understand this. Go chapter by chapter without skipping any for best understanding. AT tires normally do more sound than HT or the stock H/L tires.
Please ask the question if you still have. Watch today's video before the next question which possibly answers your tire related questions.
I am here to answer all your questions. Thanks.
Was MSIL influenced by success of Toyota Fortuner in India, probably they thought just offer a fantastic car and it will create its own fan base and influence market. Few negative points you raised here on Jimny, Fortuner still carry those negatives but its sales numbers are fantastic. I sense Jimny do suffer from MSIL cheap car producer brand, it just dilutes the brand of lifestyle car like Jimny. Overall very disappointed with Jimny sales number, less than fortuner which is priced 3 to 4x. In hindsight I feel Suzuki discounted presence and success of Thar, particularly RWD price. Recommend MSIL to provide more torque to engine or else settle for 1000 ~ 1500 units a month. Otherwise drop price further and aim at rural, but be ready for cannibalize effect (brezza)
Hmnn... You have a very interesting viewpoint. 👍
In simple and short, Jimny is the most mishandled by Suzuki and misunderstood vehicle in the Indian Automobile Industry.
@@MashofreaksAutoI agree when u say misunderstood product. Has Indian car market really matured for 4x4?
I ask this question because we need a comparison between sales of products offering both 4x4 vs 4x2 for same trim level, answer lies here.
Second intriguing point is success or better say absence of petrol 4x4. Probably torque plays role here. As per information available, Thar Roxx will not be offered in petrol 4x4. Scorpio & XUV 700 also don’t offer petrol 4x4 and AWD version nor do Jeep Compass
@pawankumarsingh007 for the next part of you comment only I said mishandled vehicle because Suzuki positioned it wrongly. This is really an offraod vehicle which also has some level of capability on the road as well. I said that multiple times in multiple forums that not many in our country do the offroading but that does not mean people do not want to or there are not many who potentially lean towards starting or learning it as a new skill, it is a big country with lots of potential. Suzuki mishandled it completely to make those potential customers or who bought it to some level.
For torque, I can agree to some extent but that is not a show stopper specially on hills for many use cases.
I am not saying this is the best petrol offroader but it is not that bad as well and widely misunderstood my friend. I drove this already thousands of Kms in the hills and I am really happy but that does not mean I am biased as well. I always want to be neutral on this.
Thanks for your comment and support.
The initial overpriced launch with fictitious hype about non existing long waiting list and scheming attempts to palm off top end models to early birds at over priced rollout.
While the launch roll out was overpriced to fleece the early birds cumulated with lot of price cutting measures in the build like poor suspension, wrong tyre size, low battery capacity, thin flimsy body, low specs in goodies, underpowered old engine has killed their credibility.
Kill the competition was to be the marketing mantra they fell prey to their own greed to kill themselves up against competition.
On top of it huge discount options to later buyer only to boost sales having fleeced early bird hammered all the nails required in their coffin for their credibility in jimny.
All the sins of having fleeced the early birds has caught up with them to bury them against competition.
Early birds who were supposed to be their marketing ambassadors are today after having got the feeling cheated are quite reserved with good words which would have secured market for MSIL
👍
Watch in 1.5x speed
Thanks 👍 curious, did you find this slow? 😆
it was 100% a marketing blunder...
Absolutely, I am with you! 👌👍
Many points are comman with ignis
That's an interesting comment Mohan ji, will you please try elaborating and put some light on this please 👍
Still there are lots of jimny in himachal..... can't say it's a flop
Jimny is one of the most mishandled vehicle in Indian Automobile Industry!
You are right, it is not at all a flop! Not just Himachal but Uttrakhand, Ladakh, J&K, Rajasthan, seven sister states, Kerala, Tamilnadu, Karnataka and many other states, it sold decently well.
The issue is that many people misunderstood this vehicle after it was totally mishandled by Suzuki.
Only issue is overprice.....even after discount it doesn't suits the price tag.....even new buyers are confused about its fluctuations in prices...
Yes, fluctuations of price more worrying factor than overpriced itself. I mentioned about the expected pricing in this video as well. Suzuki should stop listening to automobile journalists and should start listening to existing and potential customers'.
Price should not be more than 7 lakh
Hmnn 👍
But it is not that less capable of Pankaj ji.
Its a flop not because of only marketing and launch failures.
Its a flop because its nothing special just a cheap, short lasting, use and throw toy:
1) Design problem of steering vibration that needs king pins + rotors + pads (+ steering damper optional) to be regularly replaced every 10k kms or so. A cost of INR 10000 +. Maruti is showing recalls and defective king pins to make it look like as on odd issue or defect and not any long term problem, but the wobble is regular wear and tear, replacing the parts Maruti is just procastinating the issue till its out of warranty. Note there is no fix for wobble it needs regular change of the above parts every 10k kms or maybe every oil change
2) Over priced. Should be cheaper than Brezza base i.e. should be 8 lakhs on the road. Build quality is same as other maruti cars (average/cheaper side, not upto SUV or rugged standards) , safety rating is 3 stars. Weighs same as brezza (1200 kgs). For comparison scorpio and bolero weigh above 1900/1700 + kgs. If 1900 kgs steel sells for 16Lakh, what should 1200kg steel sell for? Leave apart the diesel, power, ruggedness, road presence, resalve value and looks factor. Compare it with a Nexon and punch in real, not on youtube
3) Fuel economy of 11-12 kmpl
4) Super costly spares, cost as much as fortuner. Radiator costs 24000, grease seal on front axle wheel hub thats just a rubber costs 1800. King pin (505x4), brake rotors(2200x2), brake pads (3400) cost too much and need to be changed every 10000 km if you don't want steering wobble
5) Unavailability of parts or too long to procure even in service center. Generally takes 3 weeks for any part. No local inventory
6) Bad braking, stopping distance. Too big a turning radius of 5.7 m. For comparison Scorpio turning radius is 5.4m, bolero 5.7m, hatchbacks typically have 5.1m. Try a tight u-turn and you can see the problem. It takes too much space to turn
7) Uncomfortable in rear and barely survivable even in front. Driving for 100+ kms is not comfortable for the price one pays
8) Very low engine power. Small and thin tires and wheels because with such a low engine power thats all it can handle
9) Zero innovation than prevous or older models, just a face lift, with all the flaws stll there
10) High altitude brake vaccum problem, prepeller rubbing problem, etc. However I haven't verified these 2 myself
11) Boot door loosens and sags over time very quickly due to poor build and heavy spare wheel mounted
12) Ground clearnace is only 210mm and is just a number and if you look carefully even fronx, ignis, brezza look equally high from the road. Don't compare numbers, kneel down and look under the cars to compare. IMO there is not too much this vehcile can do which a TATA nano cannot
13) Absolutely zero after market support. Its an off roader, where will one get it repaired if it breaks somewhere in himalyas. Add the lack of mechanics and spare availability, chances are one will face a nightmare if such a thing happens
14) Garbage after 5 years (50000km) and no resale value. Chances are it won't be working by that time as most people will not be able to get it repaired due to parts unavailable and/or mechanics not used to it.
15) Discontinued in europe and sooner than later will be discontinued in every country including India. Hence Suzuki tries to find a new 3rd world country to sell it every few years
Its a use and throw toy, not a vehicle. Its a global flop in todays world no matter how respected it was in the ancient past or Gypsy time. I will be surprised to see if it sells even if Maruti starts selling it at 8 lakh on the road price
Very descriptive, appreciate your time 👍
It fail because of its looks... and in India 4x4 is not very much important suzuki offering only 4by4 and no other Features...
Hmnn, being it is quite subjective what exactly every individual wants but yes I agree with broadly on your point of view.
Thanks for your contribution and comment. 👍

Jimny is by a foreign brand!🤢
Every true Indian will prefer dying and breathing its last breath in an Indian Brand Vehicle than any foreign brand.
Even passers-by prefer to be crushed under Mahindra Thar than by a Jimny. Ask Lakhimpur Khiri victims.💪
Go "Vocal for Local"!🇮🇳
Respect for Ratan Tata sir and Anand Mahindra sir!🙏🚩
Indeed we all should be proud of these indigenous brands, Tata and Mahindra. 👍
they could have increased sale by atleast 20-30% by giving it good aggressive looking offroad tyres and basic accessories like snorkel and roof rack factory fitted.
it would have been taken more seriously as an incredible offroad vehicle.
Insead they launched it with zero accessories, malnourished tyres and childish candy colors to attract city buyers😅😅
Totally mishandled child and one of the biggest marketing blunder from Suzuki😊👍
