Others reviewer shall follow this channel. Instead of sugar coated statement ( most of the reviewers are doing) we prefer v3 cars approach . Congratulations
For those thinking about Turbo in an offroader should remember that Turbo is for speeds!
Turbo was created for race cars back in 1962.
An offroader does not need to go fast. It's meant for entirely different purpose.
The high ground clearance design is not meant for speeds or the car will just topple and roll over at a slight flick of the steering wheel at high speeds.
(Google "moose test"- which is another test for cars apart from crash test)
Ironically, most of the cars in the current Indian market will fail miserably at "Moose test" due to the ongoing SUV design craze.
All race/sports cars have minimal ground clearance to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible so as to maintain stability. Civic had a GC of 135mm for the same reason.
SUVs and Off-roaders are designed for anything but speed.
The increased height keeps the centre-of-gravity high causing it prone to topple over.
Force Gurkha doesn't go fast either.
Gurkha's 2.6L engine (sourced from Mercedes) delivers just 90bhp but 250Nm of torque.
Please get a sedan if you're looking specifically for doing speeds.
Drive safe!✌️
Well explained
once a proud civic owner :)
this much knowledge of vehicle dynamics are unkown to almost Indian car lover, their combination of demand from a car is physically impossible.
Unfortunately our Indians don't have these knowledge
@arjitagarwal007 true that 💯%
Its a 4WD car. Its made primarily for snow,mud,sand,river crossing,trails,mountains,offroad. Remember that
V3 cars has become the most sensible Indian auto info channel on YT. gr8 review as always. info simple and good enough for all prospective buyers. on point.
Believe me Jagdev Kalsi is the best reviewer. I loved when you mentioned "it's not a promising combination for highway run".
I got to this video while browsing through Team-BHP. I really liked the content delivery, balanced and practical perspective in this video and ended up Subscribing. Do keep up the good work. Cheers.
It's good that they are launching this with K15B engine, for which there are Turbo kits readily available ! 👍
are u sure ? , we have a S cross 1.5 petrol which has same powertrain . would like to know more info on this
Please throw more light on this.
Those turbo kits can be installed on k15c too
Excellent review, thanks.
Very Good and truthful review. Practical advice. Keep it up
Class 🎉 allways informative ,simple and practical. Great job.
This is the review i was waiting for.
It's true it can be a secondary car for someone or for someone who has money. How often you'll go off-road driving in a regular middle class family, none. 😂
Sahi pakdey hain.
The most relevant and precise Jimny review. Period.
Hi,
I would like to upgrade to 215/75/R15 AT from the stock tires. Would this cause any difference in the overall performance of the vehicle.
Also I wanted to know that this being a new vehicle, would the wheel alignment post tire replacement be a difficult job ?
I just don’t want to have any unnecessary problems on a new vehicle. Any help or suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
As always most practical and no nonsense review for the real end user to decide...😊
Do you feel sit high . Same as Thar and Force...commanding position??
Please suggest me which car is better option between thar and Jimny. We buy this as a secondary car so please guide me . We are 4 members
6th gear for highway in all varriants, 3 door also required for off road lovers.
manual is best instead of torque converter automatic
Sir, how are the brakes. I've been having problems with them. The sudden brake does not work like a normal abs vehicle.
Hi..When I am 100% Rotating the Steering of Jimny on One side then it's getting heavier on its extreme corners whereas I haven't upgraded the tyres. Any suggestions.
@2:42 "view out from the sides is also clear ...." --> was that thar 'out on the side' planted for this shot? :))
What is the size and section size of the tyre used in it
At 2:42 it was quite coincidental that its chief rival as per Indian car buyer also came into the frame.
I always watch V3. This review was not as neutral as usual as it did not mention certain critical elements such as the overdrive button for the highway.
It mesmerizes that people thought it would a great on highway. When the vehicle is made for offroad, known as "Mountain Goat", perfect for hilly areas, narrow roads..then why the hell do anyone drive it on Highways ?
Jimny is an offraod vehicle. Period
Best review.
Is AC performance good of this car?
Best,best rivew by v3 🚗🚗❤❤❤
Kindly review tata altroz icng as price come now.
As per car users this is the perfect and no promotional video. Explained very well. Sir please tell me in Maruti jimmny . which the best for highway and hilly area AUTOMATIC OR MANAUAL?
if its highway mostly, go for manual. manual has 5 gears and will let you drive at lower rpms at 90-10 kmph speeds...if you drive more in city, go for AT....
What about NVH levels. No one talking about it at all
Fuel economy kitni hai actually..
Would you recommend it for a small family of 4 living in Darjeeling, Sikkim area?
Hi some channel was showing the vibration in Jimmy’s gear lever while starting. Is it true ?
Well it is evident in almost all "True SUVs" with a traditional manual and RWD
Crysta(mpv)
Fortuner
Jimny
Reason:
It's not cable linkage/road
The gear selector is coming straight from the transmission... hence the shake.
Steering will little bit hard bcz it's a linkage steering not a rack and pinion steering box. Thoda technical reasons q koi nahi batata ye reviewers
Hope it rivals with Bolero or Neo
V3cars - what is your experience of Thar vs Jimny on highway from ride n handling point. We know Thar is powerful.
I have driven Thar on Rajasthan highway. Just wanted to get feel if its better ride or worst.
Please reply this question V3cars.
As per reviews, Jimny is much better for highways than Thar as far as ride and handling is concerned.
But as power is lesser than Thar, cruising at 100KMPH is the nature of engine, don't expect 120+ speeds easy......low end torque of course is good.
Badia
2nd ro ka window up daun hota hai
2:40 to 2:44, There's the compition😅
Lol all comments just going by a reviewers opinion. My suggestion is go for a TD as many times as possible and then judge for yourself. My recommendation would be use it as a second car when you neeed some fun
Why maruti did a sub4m when the engine is goinf to be 1.5? I guess theymay be doing the boosterjet without 4 by 4 on jimny
Jimmy is a global product it has been coming with 1.5 engine for many years.
Since you mentioned this can be used in the city, any comments on the turning radius ?
5meters
I thought it was 5.7m and therefore cumbersome in city as well?
@@theacechip yes it's 5.7 if exactly. Almost like Thar But in some videos I have seen that it's not that bad.
More than innova crysta😂
It must use Ford Ecosport's diesel engine...
Hi, Though the Three doors model carries 3 star safety rating, how about the new avatar with 5 door, would it protect passengers who drives carefully in highways. Understand it can go max 100-120 kmph without being unbearable body roller.
They will never send their cars for testing coz they know we Indians will go crazy abt it and buy it in numbers... safety!! What's that!? Not applicable to Indians and Maruti vehicles.
@@dbl38 why do they need to send their vehicles to the global NCAP when it's a private authority... Global NCAP is not like euro NCAP or Latin NCAP
Why does anyone want to drive an Offroader on Highways ?
It is rated 3* in Euro ncap which is far more stringent than Gncap
@@cloud_1216 pride of having the capability of 4x4 and owning it.
100 km/hr if you use as family car is good enough....
We need XUV 700 current 2023 varient to be explained bro plz
Maruthi should concentrate on built quality ; comfort rather than 4 wheel drive . It lacks power
Any car in India without Turbo engine & at least mild hybrid OR full hybrid is a decade old option.
But Turbo itself is a 6 decades old tech
@vachan
who told turbo was invented by tata and mahindra?... :D
NA engines will do just fine for offroader vehicles like Jimny. just little underpowered at times. But still it outperforms wrangler in some steep terrains due to its higher power-weight ratio...
@@praveenpgec
NA is a better option over Turbo on 4x4 for Jimnny. I didnt make a claim that Turbo was invented by Tata/Mahindra😂. My point was with need for smaller compact cars Hybrid multi fule efficient engines with newer tech is need of hour in India. If a vehicle for highway & city with CNG it would be better off with Turbo over NA.
@@theBartSimpson
Perfect, the point is to move to multifuel Hydrogen Hybrid kind of vehicles for India
Turbo is useless for indian traffic, that's exactly why Maruti is a leader.
Which is more practical between ignis and jimny
That would be Ignis
@@Sjithms Thanks for the reply
I own ignis and have booked jimny in jan. But after seeing jimny personally I canceled jimny as comfort is not good for daily drive and long drive. But it's a gem for bad roads.
@@sunilsuman291 Thanks for the reply myself in similar conditions I have an Ignis and booked Jimmy in January
Now thinking what to do cancel booking or replace ignis with Jimmy
Confused as back seat space seems is less in Jimny
Not even bottle holders
Personally have to seat and see the Jimny
Both are great build quality, ignis is fwd and jimny is rwd though .....
At a starting price of nearly 12.75 I am never buying it and do not recommend over RWD Thar. 😊
1. Ladder frame chasis
2. Solid rigid axles on front and rear
3. 210 mm GC and high centre of gravity
4.Proper 4*4 drivetrain
5.Boxy design and thus zero aerodynamics
With all these things to consider . If people are expecting it to behave like a normal hatchback or sedan in handling( ladder frame vs monocoque) or top speed or 1 v 1 race( seriously with a boxy design ?) or comfort( this will bounce and have bodyroll) , then they are next level fools😂 . It is meant for rough terrain🔥 and will perform good there, its never going to be like a normal car 😂at all in roads. But still if cars with similar setup(above 5 points) are considered , I guess this one will be a bit better than them . Anyway final verdict after test ride .
How can you use it for recreational purposes without using it on the highways 😂 ?
More than 15 lakhs on road. It will not sell after the initial
Hype
Maruti Suzuki I think has missed a great chance as they should have put in a turbocharged 1.4L engine.
Or they should start selling bolt -on turbocharger for Jimny in India.
It's good that they are launching this with K15B engine, for which there are Turbo kits readily available ! 👍
@@frontmate But we need turbo kits directly sold by Suzuki, otherwise, we lose on insurance benefits + the Supreme Court ruling on modifications can cause huge files in excess of 1 Lacs. That is happening with modified Thar users.
But the problem is that Maruti might not bring these turbo kits to India to sell as OEM fitment.

@@theBartSimpson Probably you misunderstood because my comment ws more emotional 😂😂
I am not looking for a racer/sedan but surely I am also not looking for a 4WD that I cannot trust even with 100-120 KMPH cruising stable speeds.
If driving at 100 on highways, I am going to have issues overtaking because power delivery is lacking, it makes this a difficult decision for me.
Think Thar, that is a very capable 4WD but also with enough power for highway runs, but I need more practicality as my drives can be fairly long.
So Jimny dimensions suit me perfect, for the villages, hilly areas etc. I travel, except the low engine power because a lot of my long journeys also cover plains, not only mountains or treacherous routes.
It is not about Jimny really, and I have nothing against that. It is just my requirements and there seem to be many like me who need dependable 4WDs/AWDs not for off-roading but for long journeys
That requires proper power on highways while 4WD can be used on muddy, snow, or other terrains.
India seriously lacks dependable automatic petrol AWD/4WD compact/midsize SUVs with enough power below 20L range.
Over price
I was really thinking to buy one with auto transmission, especially after current december discounts but the main thing that's stopping me is the power of the engine, it's absolutely pathetic and anyone who justifies 77.098Kw of power and 134.2Nm of torque on this vehicle is a moron. They are also offering 4 speed auto in 2023 🤦, did they went back in time or something. Overseas it might have worked well, firstly being a 3 door so better power to weight ratio and most folks that buy it only use it as a recreational vehicle and it sits in the garage most of the time, not as a daily driver. In India most people don't have that kinda income or luxury. Yes one can go for a manul and install a turbo kit but that would obviously bring the price up ( which some can tolerate) but it will void the warranty.
2.39 Thar 😂
Who needs Cruise control in this car give other features instead
Killer looks no Complaint 👏👏👏👏
Never
i am gonna cancel it. if its a NO on highway, its a no.
It is more like a cruiser vehicle, say 80-100 kmph.
Overtakes would need little planning (like you should know when to press the full throttle).
It just happens with practice and is not that tough, even if words feel like that.
However, i don't think this is made for 120kmph cruising and overtakes might be tricky as engine would be hard pressed for further acceleration.
Its fine till 100, not made for above that
Not just about the speed. The back seat comfort as well while doing that speed. I don't want my wife and kids throwing up..
It’s not designed for uncles like you sir, young people who want to go explore india with some friends are the target. If you buy a 4x4 for you wife and kids you’re buying the wrong car. Stick to a swift or something
It’s not bad on highway
It just can’t corner hard but if you don’t need a car for the rough roads and mostly do highways , just get a sedan
People will need to wait for a year so that the deficiencies can be ironed out by suzuki
After viewing most of the reviews, its really sad that this can only be used as a secondary car & not as only car in tbe family. Disappointing stuff from Suzuki.
Cheated by maruti. Looted our hard earned money
notgood
Total bakwas overhyped car and whosoever is comparing with Thar is nonsense people paid by maruti.
This is Kid infront of thar
just seen in nexa , ugly interiors, no leg space only kids can sit comfortably on back seat. except ignis and Baleno none of maruti car is worth buying
No offroad without highway run
What a waste
Bhai every car is almost the same thar is also not comfortable on highways Gurkha can't go beyond 80 kmph
Jimny booking Cancelled. Too overpriced. And too small, too less space. Not happy with overall product. Thar starts at 10.34 L 😅😅😅😅😅
Anything over 10 lakhs OTR is overpriced for this car. Thar is a better VFM product than this in that sceanrio. Good video V3Cars.
@theBartSimpson • 100% true
