Keep up with big boys? That is a serious underestimation. Throw Jimny into sand next to some overweight Patrol or Hilux and those trucks will have trouble to keep up with Jimny :D
If you get a Jimmy stuck, you can literally carry it out! That is how good it is and that is how it can challenge the big, fat and obese boys like the Patrol, LandCruisers and the rest of those truly big and heavy rigs.
@Spikey Scenes I think little lift doesn't hurt anyone (only your wallet). Increased wheel articulation means better traction and this video confirms it.

I love that little monster, you buy it and you have a mini Wrangler, Defender, G Wagon, Land Cruiser J 40, Niva but in the end you still have a Suzuki!! This little thing managed to tow a stack wrangler rubicon in the woods that couldn't even move and everybody lost our minds
This really looks like a lot of fun. I'm not really a big fan of off-roading, but looks like having a Jimny could give you that peace of mind that if ever you find yourself lost in the middle of nowhere with no paved roads, the Jimny is more than enough to get you out in one piece.
Only fools travel that far without carrying spare gas and besides Jimny has better mileage so it doesnt need to refill as much as other big rigs like Jeep and Toyota that swallows gas like blackhole@@derdummeasi
Great content and great to see a Jimny comparison!! They look even better modified. Suzuki did a spot on job staying true to their philosophy with the Jimny than Land Rover did with the new Defender.
i reckon these will be the most popular 4x4 in about 25 years, they are the last 4x4 still made that is comparable to the good old 80s and 90s trucks. when they start rusting away and the last ones are smashed up these will be the one to have. can’t wait till second hand ones start selling cheap, i’ll be picking one up for sure once my ‘90 samurai starts falling apart
You, me and 4 million more people would have to buy one for it to be profitable for them. But they don't need the North American market anymore. We shit on Suzuki for years, now they have an awesome Jimny America desperately wants but can't have.
finally! an actual in depth off road review. well done guys. the best video showing the jimny i have seen. great to have modified and stock too for comparison!
Suzuki left Canada but a dealer in my city imports these straight from Japan.. They are right hand drive.. I have one, and being Japanese, i like right hand drive lol
Ideal as a city car or a hardcore off-roader, two things that don’t often go together. Also a great daily driver, good gas mileage and sight lines. Like a motorcycle with weather protection and cargo capacity. On the other hand, definitely not good for long road trips. It’s a kei car that thinks it’s a Wrangler, and it’s just one of the best vehicles in the entire world, IMO. Bravo, Japan, you guys make great cars.
Everybody has already mentioned the music, so I'll just say: Awesome video! So cool not only to compare stock to a pure offroad set up, but also throw in a middle way version! Thanks 👊🏼
My Dad had an LJ10 - the first of these. Bloody mountain goat that was. One day when Suzuki decide to reasonable with their pricing again, I'll proudly own one of these or if I can find one, the original.
Id love to see the capabilities of a jimny on full load (roof top tent, bullbar, camping supplies, all the good) and see how she handles. I'm looking at getting one and with that tiny engine I'm thinking I might have to resort to a air rooftop tent
Ive fitted multi-function master blaster boomers on all 4 corners. The synchronization of the platelets is remarkable. The zoom raiders in sequence with the drop forged cram-rods gives me all the torue punt i need.
@@jaskatin never owned a zuki car.. but all my street bikes have been zukis.. so I can't say I don't have a bias myself.. but this new jimny is awesome! I also wish I could get my hands on a Lada from Russia.
I own a Jeep rubicon hard rock stock with lockers and sway disconnects and it does just fine off-road with my bf Goodrich mud terrain . I think the little stock Zuzuki did just fine. Great video👍👏👏👍👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I want one but alas I am in the USA. Super jealous I love basic lightweight vehicles. I hope they come to our market one day. I would buy one for sure.
There should be more cars like the jimny. Every other comparable car got more expensive for 15 years. Defender, Jeep, G-Wagon, Land Cruiser and so on are luxury cars now. Off Road cars are for fun or work and not for cruising. I dont need that much multimedia, luxury and innovation if it raises the cars price by 10 grand or more. Even a fucking golf is expensive now.
@union310 yeah, in remember that but just barely. I'm pretty sure with the way things are now, Suzuki would get a fair shake at things. Just need to be able to pass the safety standards. Given that Suzuki still has a good market here in the U.S. those things would fly off the lots
Devil's Doorbell I’ve been replying on car ads and videos for almost a decade that we want bare bones no options simple and boxy styled vehicles.......... I’ve had replies back that I am stupid, or ignorant. Now this jimny is back ordered for over a year in other countries!
I miss my Samurai, I would have definitely bought a Jimney is they were sold in the US! But unfortunately I’ll just have to enjoy watching others have fun with theirs ❤️
Very good, I'm considering getting one for daily driving and trips close to home, so my touring Hilux doesn't have to do everything. Just gotta find one for close to RRP, the price has gone crazy with demand. Seeing it on that step, where I've often posed my fourbies for photos, gives me a good idea of how much clearance they have.
@@benjaminzuideveld5257 I know I can get an US Sami, but finding one that hasn't been mutilated from an owner willing to sell at a decent price is a daunting task to say the least. But, you're right, the first, and most of the second gens, are past the 25yr mark now. Might have to look into that deeper, thanks.
Nice vid. Nice locations. But please, more driving and less comments. It's not so interesting to look on the guys who just sit and talking inside the car which is going off-road. Much more interesting to see the car and listen to comments and thoughts.
Would like a short summary of what the modified versions are like on the highway, more for what its like to live with modified, rather than capability.
Finally the rest of the world woke to the jimny..... On my second for farming shooting wildlife and general rural runabout ....NOTHING CAN TOUCH THEM! pulled out a drowned fully laden long wheelbase transporter two years agao when the lane flooded and towed it to high ground up a hill......like a dog on a lead needing a shit... Jimny is perfect between a quad bike and a car and beats the crap out of any mule. I use a custom ladder rack and a little box trailer for family adventures, both in the UK and Iceland.
It's about 2min out of Lithgow, NSW, the actual track they're driving is a dead-end, runs along a ridgetop, but it has some great spots for photos along it.
If they brought these to America right now they would sell like hot cakes. Everyone loves a wrangler and bronco but no one wants to pay 60k for one! If we had this affordable off roader I bet they would constantly be sold put
The is what the new Defender should have been. Sorry Land Rover, but the new Defender is an expensive mistake, and you have probably succeeded in sending customers to Suzuki instead. These are what farmers and country dwellers really want. Not some expensive, overly complicated bling designed for school run mums. The answer is the Jimny. Most people dont really go off roading, they will mainly be purchased for daily use on PCP lease deals, but for those that want a bit of adventure, get a set of all terrain tyres on it and youre good to go anywhere, all year round, in any weather, on any road conditions and it will also be extremely reliable. Suzuki, Subaru, Mitsubishi and Toyota. Avoid everything else.
Suzuki Jimny ; much off road fun for less money 👍. It's not necessary to spend 100000 € for Offroader where the additional equipment costs almost double the price of a Jimny's to have fun 😎
Hi, cool comparative video. One question, it is known that 215/75/15 tires will fit without having any part of the wheel rubbing against any part of the vehicle and without any sort of modifications; is it the same for 235/75/15? Thanks
Gents - do you know how much the mods cost for both the vehicles? I should be getting my Jimny in the next 2-3 months and want to start looking at options
Turn off the "background" music. It's too much in the "foreground", can't hear what you guys say.

Ditch the music people. I want to hear you talk and the sound of the cars.

Jimnys dont really make a sound that you'd find enjoyable
But 100% would rather hear the car than the music
Agreed
Couldn't hear you talk. Ditch the music

Crappy music - super loud...You talking - super quiet...FIX that
Really nice video but music is soooo annoying .
Can't hear shit
@@estefano9e can you repeat that..

Never underestimate the off road capabilities of a Jimmy. They might be small, but they can easily keep up with the big boys!
Keep up with big boys? That is a serious underestimation. Throw Jimny into sand next to some overweight Patrol or Hilux and those trucks will have trouble to keep up with Jimny :D
Its the other way round,can the big boys keep up with a Jimny.

I'd be interested in getting one. I built a samurai into a mini crawler. It gets around really well. One of these would be a great starting point.
If they would sell me one in the US, I’d stop sending them threatening letters.
Deal, Suzuki?
Wow, what a lovely song that was, i was hoping the video will never end.
Music is soooo loud I could not hear your voices. Closed captions did not work because the music. Stopped watching 3mins in because of the music.
Love the little Suzuki. Sadly I live on the US it will be impossible to get one. I guess I'll try to keep my 1986 Jimny running forever.
I truly wish I could buy one of those Jimmy's. That would be the perfect vehicle for me right now. Sadly we do jot have it here in the US indeed.
Mine is 88 off road only welded rear end and 29" swampers and will go anywhere (USA)
Get one from Mexico?
Private grey import to the USA allowed?
Sadly no Suzuki in Canada, but I would definitely own one of these!
That's the miniature land rover defender that land rover isnt building anymore!
Good One Guys. Thank you. i was already thinking of the 2-inch lift and a 215 tire only. My choice too.

Thank you very much!

The loud background music! It was an off roading experience for my ears though 🤞
It is very irritating that Suzuki left the US market before they started making these. I want one so bad.
I can't wait until these are old enough to Import into the US. Had a Sami, never should have sold it.
They never stopped making them for the rest of the world. No need to wait really. Just have to settle for the older models with 1.3L engines

How was the gearing on the Jimmy with the 29’s on?
Please Suzuki, bring it to the United States. Along with the aftermarket support for the lift kits. I'd buy one in a second.
If available in usa I'd buy one , had a samurai and it went everywhere near stock
My God, that was satisfying to watch.

No. It gets a bit more sensitive for road imperfections. Mine is like that, but for some reason I like it.
