Zombie Apocalypse or WWIII. Who cares as long as you have a Jimny 🙂
Yup, but first some fuel hoarding🤗
Just booked one ❤
Great, honest review. Really liked it! I own a Jimny for 3 months now, loving every small inch of it!
Thanks, its car with a big heart🫶
IT IS A dependable durable good for value car. built by honest people... Thank you Japan
Agree!
Thanks that was a great review of a vehicle I really love! The new Jimny is such an iconic vehicle and I totally understand why it has such a dedicated following. I don't own one yet but hoping to in the future. I will look forward to more videos of your Jimny!
Hey! Thanks for watching, it’s a fun car with vibe. I will do more Jimny videos, just waiting for the spring.
Excellent presentation. Especially, liked the details and clarity of you your messages.
Thanks!
The Jimny is a brilliant little car and I love it! You've done a nice video in it's honour and your setup is impressive. Well done friend!
Hey! Big thanks for watching. I will release a winter review soon (with a twist)
One of the best Jimny video I have seen. Great stuff!!
Can't wait this car to launch in India.
Thanks for watching, I hope you will get one soon👍
What a great review! I also appreciate the tasteful mods!
Thanks for watching!
I don't need this Jimny but I do not know why I want it.
Same here, but I bought it🤩
Because it is funny. I bought too!!!
Me too - it has a strange attraction
It is difficult to describe what makes the Suzuki Jimny such an exciting car.
While not being particularly strong on any objective parameters, when you get behind the wheel it feels like you have uncovered something none of the other car owners have.
Maybe the Jimny attracts the Generation X more, we have both experience of choke valves and superchargers, and want to reconnect with our youth.
My dad doesn't want a new car but when he saw it he felt in love and now want one
it has got CHARACTER.
In fact, the Jimny is very strong in offroad, with lots of character, reliability, very low TCO etc.
Great video and probably one of the best reviews around ! One little comment I would make about the rust protection; people say it has bad rust protection because its older generations rust problems - and nearly all japanese cars have similar rust problems due to Japanese environmental regulations prevent manufacturers from using some chemicals. Suzuki say they addressed the problem by extra measures, such as better galvanized steel and rubber coating. If you touch the ladder frame you will notice it is rather soft and squishy and actually coated with plastic. I think with regular pressure wash it should be fine for a good period of time.
Hi! Thanks for watching and your feedback! Yes I did hesitate to spend 800 euros for extra protection (DINITROL® Tuff-Kote Dinol) but since the roads in Stockholm is bombarded with salt on roads I went for it, aslo they told me it added extra noice cancellation, but I don't know. Thanks again!
@@hiddeninsweden In that case, I say it is an £800 well spent for a just cause. Cant wait to watch more adventures with that little beast.
A Polish vlogger recently showed the rust on as three year old Jimny gen 4...in conclusion, definitely get rust protection
I own a Jimny and I ❤ it... Puts a smile on my face everytime... That is why everywhere it is selling out faster than they can build it
Totally agree! Thanks for watching!!
Great video, I am buying one and this video really helped my decision. Thanks
Thanks for watching, and enjoy your Jimny!
Last week saw one of these in Big Bear Lake California! What a dream!
Cool! I guess someone has import one from Mexico. Thanks for watching!!
Great video! Only video I've seen so far that has a noise test which is good 👍
Thanks, maybe i will do another test with db meter on the High Way.
Good video with detail and a very small off roader that you can transport on a truck !
Thanks🙌
Excelente video y de gran calidad!
Gracias por compartir tu experencia con el Jimny 😉
¡Gracias!
excellent review video and thank you for taking the time to list accessories. jason
Thanks for watching!
Nice and honest review. Good one there.
I just booked 1, this wasn't available in India before. Excited. Can't wait for it.. :)
Thanks! Great, you will have lots of fun with your Jimny, drive safe!
Nice looking ride, small for city driving and some ground clearance to go exploring and camping. Cheers and stay safe
Thanks, I wish for more off-roading opportunities though😊
Really Apriciable... Waiting for you jimny✌
Thanks!
Great video! Enjoyed every minute! I'm about to purchase a used Jimny in New Zealand and can't wait! Quick question - the dog cage: where did you get this? Is it custom made? Thanks!
Thanks, the dog cage is made by a Swedish dog cage company: Robust hundburar. It’s big enough for my GSD 35 kg.
An absolutely great review. I am sure you are aware that the Jimny has just been launched in the Indian market as a five door compact SUV. Your honest observations helped me understand the vehicle much much better.
Thank you very much! I’m glad you liked the video, and good luck with your Jimny!
Thank you my friend. The waiting list here is pretty long. But I am sure its worth the wait.
more content of Jimmy! Great customization!!
I will produce more Jimny episodes, I’m just waiting for the snow to melt🤗
Honest review 👍
Thanks🙌
Nice review. I have exactly the same car in northern Sweden . Love it as off road car.
Thanks!!! I need to practise more 4x4 driving, so I need to leave Stockholm🤗
@@hiddeninsweden yes try off road so fun . I drive it everywhere this car made for that 😁.
Nice review. And it is funny how you beep out the speeds which were above the official limit (I guess) 😂
Thanks, yes, i will do a new soundest with dB meter, and this time on the highway🤦
Very nice. I didn't think the wind noise was too much at all.
Thanks, no is not that bad, I will do a proper noice test soon.
Thank You!!!
You’re welcome!
for city/country driving, JImny is a perfect little car...
Agree to 100%
Hi there, great video. Waiting for my Jimny LCV to arrive and dreaming of all the mods I wish to add. Quick question please- do you have a link to the dog cage or was it made bespoke for you?
Hi, thanks! The company is Robust Hundburar.
Legend @@hiddeninsweden thank you ☺️
Good review - How/where did you pull the cables to power the lights on the roof rack?
Thanks, cables runs between front windscreen and A pilars, it’s a “natural” cable canal for this🙌
After the 5 door Jimny debut in India , I am looking into a lot of jimny videos kn youtube and then I landed on your video!
Loved it , subscribed!
Thanks from India!!
Waiting for more car videos from you, meanwhile I will scan other available videos on your channel!
Thanks mate! I’m sure the 5 door will be popular in India, looking forward for a 5 door review soon, I will aim for more Jimny content!
@@hiddeninsweden : yes there is quite a fan following in India already for the Jimny!
15000 bookings have already been received in 3 weeks of debut at the Auto Expo 2023.
Here is a glimpse of the Jimny I captured
th-cam.com/video/HEPVz9Y6VMM/w-d-xo.html
I will also post more videos of 5door Jimny as soon others launched here!
Sadly this car is manufactured in India, but not sold here. I am eagerly waiting for the launch.
Here we have two more local 4x4 popular off-roaders, Mahindra thar and force Gurkha, but due light weight and compact size I prefer jimny. Here rumours are, that we may get 5 door version with extended wheelbase.
Let’s hope Jimny will be available soon in India.
Pleasantly surprised to find a review in Sweden. I’m a Brit, but I live here. We no longer need a big car, but I live “off-piste”, so looking to downsize to a Jimmy.
Did you have any issues with Swedish car modification regulations? I want to upgrade suspension and a lift immediately, but I’m concerned I’ll break a modification rule I don’t know of or understand.
Great question! The height span need to be the same as the car travels on the road, and this can’t be measured correctly when inspected. So a moderate lift kit 20-50 mm would pass.
@@hiddeninsweden thank you! This is great to hear!!
Where did you get your “rust protection” done in Stockholm? This will be top of my list.
@@jacktyler5241 Dinitrol Center in Vallentuna, north of Stockholm
Thanks for a great video! Where can i buy the remote control for the Auxiliary Lights ?
Great question! I bought it from Frontrunner in Germany, but I can’t find it anymore on the web shop. Thanks for watching!
much love from balochistan and hope to see you in balochistan ❤🙏
Thanks for watching! Stay safe!
Hej jag har en jimny
Köpte nyligen fjädrar från H&R lyfter bilen ca 20 mm
Och dämpare från koni monterade själv i garaget relativt enkelt.
Förändrade vägbetendet rejält 120 på motorvägen utan rädsla.
Tack för bra video👍
Cool! Jag såg 20 mm paketet på Jimny Style, vart köpte du?
Beställde från bilmodecenter Göteborg.
@@hansh1715 tack, Kanske blir nästa års projekt
What does the Suzuki Jimny need from the factory? 10 cm more in wheelbase, a 2 litre, 150 hp motor and 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic transmission.
Yes, Jimny Max!
@@hiddeninswedenthere are other vehicles that comes with all that ...but jimny still does better than most if not all
So beautiful man, but be honest that spade must remain untouched and unscratched 😄 - but its hard to get a Jimny stuck anyway 😉
Yep, i confess, and it’s actually re painted black. But someday I will need it🙌 Thanks for watching😀
Hi there. Enjoyed your review. I think Suzuki says the roof load limit is 30kg. Do all your roof accessories go over that limit? And would it void your insurance on the car if you crash? Thanks!
Thanks. Good point, not sure. Who knows, maybe works as a roll cage in the worst case?
@@hiddeninsweden Lol a roll cage is always a bonus!
Please upload more content about the Gymny
Thanks for watching! I will, please be patient🙏🏼
16:17 I can agree to that.
I like this Jimny. Mein togter in Deutschland want to buy a Jimny now.
Just do it! And thanks for watching!
my dream car! go-anywhere.
Thanks for watching, and I hope you will have one someday🙌
Hi guy, Would you let me know, which size of A/T Tyre were replaced.
BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 215/75R15 100S RBL
We are getting 5 door version in India now. I have booked an automatic.
Thats great! Enjoy the car and thanks for watching!
Is this armrest original? I didn't see it on the list. Tell me more about him. I've seen it resting on the cup holder, but this one is better.
Yes and no, this is a general fitting for lots of cars from Japan, the one I bought is from here: streettracklife.com/collections/jimny-armrests/products/single-armrest-for-suzuki-jimny-2018
👍👍👍
Hey Buddy, what's your paint code? That's a special color not available in our area
Hi, it’s Medium Grey, paint code ZVL, in fact this was not my favourite color, but only 1 car left with SZ5 trim.
Jimny and FJ Cruiser are way one's off-road addiction . . .
FJ Crusier is cool too!
what is your opinion on the new 5 door jimny, isn't it interesting to drive?
The 3 door is not fast, so I guess the 5 door will be even slower (if the engine is same) But It will be more practical and maybe better handling, but the 3 door look nicer😎
Hi guy, Did you also replaced the shock absorber and coil spring and how about the feeling when you are riding on highway road?
No suspension change at all. The tires is more quiet and has way better road handling than stock tires. Cheers!
The jimny is like a feather weight fighter who can step in the ring with heavy weights❤
Great comment! Thanks!
Bonjour, tres jolie voiture 👏👏
Thanks🙌
Comment on 5 door version is there.what is your opinion about it,is it ruins jimny character when wheel base increase
Exactly the same as the 3 door Defender, looks way better than the 5 door version. Practicality has its price.
Enjoy your reply
Thanks
Hello. In Sweden have you ever had to use the maxtrax or the shovel to get out from being stuck?
@@pawnotdaw4559 No, only for styling🙌
@@hiddeninsweden 😯
Can you fold back the mirrors ?
Yes, manually.
@@hiddeninsweden Never dared to try this, but is easy. Tnx !!
Is the dog carrier custom made for the jimny.
Yes, by Robust Hundburar in Sweden.
Man, I really want Jimny to get imported to Norway.
Might toll one myself when I get my savings up, but don’t know if $45K for a Jimny will be worth it 😢
Hey, 45K is a stretch, it’s a fun car and still a head turner, but not for that money, well maybe in NOK😁
What is the size of the tires?
BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 215/75R15 100S RBL
In Australia these Jimnys are popular infact we live in a col de sac and there is somebody who owns one our son has one and l know that they are sold as small vans because if the emesions but in Australia they are sold as a four seater because we have much less strict emission controls in fact in N.S.W were for vehicles over 5 years old you have to do a yearly regestration inspection and there is no emission testing so my 1997 toyota hilux with a carburetor and no cat converter passes every year l take it and you mentioned rust well it doesn't snow were we live hence no rust in fact my hilux has no rust issues as for the apreciating it happens in Australia because more people want them than Suzuki can provide infact the generation before are selling for what theywe own sold for back in 2017
Alrighty, thanks for sharing, no rust yet for my Jimny, but it’s time for car inspection later this year, I hope it will pass🤗 Cheers!
@@hiddeninsweden I don't know anything about Sweedens rules about inspections on vehicles interesting that you do have inspections as mentioned in N.S.W we do have inspections as for other States in Australia l am not sure but they don't have inspections except for the A.C.T but when you buy a brand new car even if you buy a vehicle thats under five years old it doesn't have to be inspected until its give years l remember l bought a ute that was three years had an inspection done because it was a comercial vehicle but they changed the law and the following l didn't have to have an inspection because the law covered all light vehicles
Song name at the end of the video?
Hi, its free non copyright TH-cam music, title and link in the description.
@@hiddeninsweden Schweet, thank you! Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work! Cheers
@@andre9916 Thanks!!!
Whats the safety rating of jimny in Europe?
Euro NCAP 3 of 5
Hej fron Tyskland, bra Video till Jimny.
Jag har en HJ, Lastbil Jimny.
Hälsa till Sverige Jürgen
Hej Jürgen! Tack för att du titta! Tschüss!
@@hiddeninsweden Du talar tysk?
@@jhenne2867 Nej, kan bara några ord.
Want one of those for fishing, but as i live in Norway i cant buy it due to government taxes :(
Sorry to hear, but enjoy the fishing!
Wait hold up, automatic for off-roading? Surely that was a mistake?
Hey! Well, what i heard is automatic preferred for crawling and so on, but I’m not an 4x4 expert.
Where did you get the arm rest
streettracklife.com/products/single-armrest-for-suzuki-jimny-2018?variant=40783276572837, but this is a generic armrest with standard mount and bracket, so could be find elsewhere.
Did you lift the jimny or just standard shocks? I am planning to do a lift kit once I receive my jimny next month. Do you think it is really not stable with the factory shocks?thanks
@@feelingrich8426 Springs and shocks are original, handling was better after I change the tires.
How is it in city as a daily driver?
Great, its a short car, thus easy to maneuver, and no worries for potholes and curb.
What’s the tyre size? 205/75 or 215/70?
BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 215/75R15 100S RBL
@@hiddeninsweden thx u brother. Is it making the steering heavier? I have 5 door jimny just 1 one week in Indonesia
@@Sijimunitravelandadventure No, and big improvements on asphalt too🙌
@@hiddeninsweden so the steering still light like normal ya? Thx u brother very much appreciate it
Please share Tyre specification
Sure!! BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 215/75R15 100S RBL
@@hiddeninsweden thank you so much.
Gaga 👍
I don't care about owning my own house, I just dream of a Jimny!
Booom!! it was an absolute sucess in india with 5 door version.👍😎
how much is this car Susuki Jimny?
Jimnys for sale in Sweden is spanning from 28000 to 35000€, the cheapest is the slim down 2 seat commercial version and a 4 seater SZ5 is around 30-35k€. A AMG G63 version is also listed for 48000€😱
Классно. Поставил 👍
Спасибо!
Shit av asmr att lyssna på dig prata engelska, hoppas du har fler videor där du gör det.
Tack! Bästa kommentaren🫶
are you extra tall, or is the vehicle extra short ??
Yes is the answer to both questions😅
@@hiddeninsweden THANK YOU
Sweden look nice.
Yes, in the summer, and a few days in autumn and spring😁
"My speed limit is 120km/h" the cops be like, "yes 120 is also the highest speed limit in Sweden"😅
Haha, i didn’t have the traffic regulations in mind at the time.
LHD! :)
Yes, easier for me😆

you made me laugh when you said offloading is forbidden in Sweden. Europe is a joke, no offense, but thats next level oppresion
Haha, well, in reality people get creative🙌
@@hiddeninsweden i like to hear that ;)
If you say this review is honest, it implies your others are not.
It was just used as a clickbait🤗
Tyvärr, unsubscribing it is!
That is, unless you compensate by night train videos to Norrland or that sort of stuff :D
Trains❤️
I only wish it was available in 5 door version in EU. that would have been great
Yes, definitely a dealbreaker for many, the distributor in Sweden have recently announced the last available version (3door) for Sweden, so no 5 seater version here. Thanks for watching!
Din svengelska är jobbig att höra på.
Jag gillar trollkommentarer, framförallt för att de driver trafik till kanalen, och mer intäkter! Fänk Jo!

@@christianjonsson8628 Ja, många tillbehör blev det😅

Hey! not sure what you mean, but thanks for watching anyway🙌
Nice 120 km/h not to bad mine golf is comfortable for 110 km/h 2003. Jimney looks more cool
Well, 120 is not so fun, even without side wind…Thanks for watching!
Hello sir, today it’s launched in India with 5 door version but same engine. Could u plz put your opinion on 5 door version for daily commute in moderate city drive daily 20 km and occasionally highway drive. Specially stability, engine noise and mileage. Thanks 😊
If the 5 door version has the same motor I guess it will be to slow with 4 people inside, at least for EU road speeds and standards. Don’t worry about engine noice as the wind noice will take over from 50 mph. Also, I guess the 5 door version will have different suspension with hopefully better stability than the 3 door version. Anyway, it’s a fun car to drive, just buy it if you can get hold of one! Thanks for watching!
Very nice set-up, i think you saw not much a use for a winch,but where i live ,i'd rather add a winch to that setup as well,overall ,very helpful and well done "Jimny" clip.thank you👍🫡
Thanks mate! And yes, a winch could be useful to help other cars….
