Introducing the Suzuki Jimny Commercial!
That’s right, the Jimny is back from its emission-regulations death, and it’s now a commercial vehicle!
So what do you get with the new Jimny? Well in terms of design… It’s exactly the same as the passenger version released back in 2018! However, don’t expect it to come with any thrills or mod-cons - it’s based on the entry-level edition. As a result, you’ll only find halogen headlights up front, and just steel wheels instead of alloys, to name just a few features.
However, there’s one key area of difference compared to the passenger edition - the rear seats have been stripped out and replaced with a cage! It makes for a suitably sizeable boot, however, with 836-litres available! Take a peek under the bonnet, and you’ll find exactly the same engine as before - the 1.5-litre petrol that can deliver 101hp & 130Nm.
The question is, should you really buy this for personal rather than professional use? And if so, can it really justify the increased £20,000 price tag?! Well, Mat’s about to find out!

Mat: I bought a 2022 suzuki jimny for my girlfriend
Have you been looking at our schedule?! 👀
His little Jimny is better than his little Jimmy.
prefer that to a tesla tbh : p
@@carwow do something about these spammers... unless Mat is using them
@@A.S02714 They never do and wont. Its clear they enjoy them and enjoy the extra interaction it brings. Even though kids probably see them, it's apparently worth the trade off to them.
To be fair, those steel wheels actually suit the Jimny more than the regular alloys. I really don't mind that and it actually looks like a proper off-roader.
That's True But .....I would love to see 16 Inches steel wheels or Alloys
Alloys look gay on them, tbh
real off road vehicles count on steel wheels only
I would rather have the steel rims instead of those brittle alloys
th-cam.com/video/_khdAtJzChk/w-d-xo.html
We used the Jimmey mark I everywhere in Africa and it was awesome off road. Where the Pajeros and heavier stuff would bog down the Jimney would carry on! It’s bulletproof! Erm, literally. I actually got shot at in one (long story) and it took the round in the tailgate, saving me. Lot of time for this tough little car
Had a Jimny LCV for 2 weeks and love it. With so many modern cars beeping at you, admonishing you, instructing you it’s refreshing to have a car that you tell it what to do. Have also bought a Mercedes EQB in the last month ,with a view to saving tax rather than the planet(sorry). Bought both from around London and drove them both 3 hrs back up to Lincolnshire. Got out the Jimny as fresh as a daisy. My back was killing me when I got out the EQB.
Not gonna lie I actually like the steelies more than the original passenger wheel
😱
Same
Honestly steelies are cooler than anything else EVERYONE on the land rover was talking about the steelies, on the bronco too
@@carwow Don't be so shocked. 👎
Agreed!
What kind of moronic rules do we have when a car designed especially to meet a class for small, economical cars is banned on emissions criteria yet things like a Range Rover supercharged is fine?
Come on - lets have a little common sense at least.
100%
Part of the issue is that Suzuki aren't rich enough to buy Tesla's Co2 credits like Mercedes, BMW and VW group do... Which is an utterly stupid system as well.
Suzuki make the new alto doing many mpg
@@Jo3yPropane I would be genuinely interested to see some actual figures from ground to ground (everything included) for one of these vs an electric equivalent. Both doing 8,000 miles per year (the average), both averaged out over their expected lifespan - so one of these maintained properly will probably go 15+ years while we know batteries don't usually lasty anywhere near that long at a reasonable level of usability - and using grid electricity including charging and transfer losses, heater use and so on vs this on pump fuel.
Bigger manufacturers just put the fines on top of the price of the vehicle wich people who are obsessed wich badge appeal will pay
3:28 probably not the 1st reach around Mat has done to be honest
Lol

Chad wtf lol
Lmao!
🤣👍🏻
As someone who owns one of these there brilliant (bought via a business). I’m 5ft11 and I can get comfortable quite easily. Just finished a weeks holiday in the Peak District driving everyday to go walking and I never felt uncomfortable.
True you can’t drive it fast, but we knew that when we bought. Our only niggle is that it could do with a 6th gear as it does rev high on the motorway.
Try and see if there is an after market overdrive for your jimnny not sure if there is one, just a thought.😁
It wont rev high if you dont drive at high speeds on the motorway. Adapt the way I do with five speed MT cars. I will happily do 60mph, whats the rush to do 70mph ? Makes no difference to journey times in the grand scheme of things yet will be far more relaxing driving slower. Sadly my daily eye witness of most other drivers who fail to have the discipline to even stick to speed limits in general is all too prevalent.
@@oddities-whatnot Hi, could you tell me the RPM at 60mph for the jimny manual?
Those black handles and trim are optional extras called “M Sport” or “AMG Line” on other brands LOL
Although to be fair they are painted gloss black and have a smooth surface, instead of being plain, rough black plastic.
meanwhile Maruti Suzuki India provides them only in the base variants cars
Yeah... the black pack - roof rails, handle mirrors well over £1k extra on many brands now
You mean shadowline and night package but extremely shitty
@@itaniumcore9437 Because in India chrome is still considered more premium.
We need these in America badly, a proper simple off roader that doesn’t break the bank.
It's tiny though, it probably wouldn't sell that well.
How much off roading do you actually need to do in America?
@@MarthaMansbridge you’d be surprised how much, plus there is a big market for it
Made in India...Exported from India
Still we Indians never got it. 🥲
This is tiny in Australia, would be insanely small in America
I had one for 5 days in Iceland. It didn't let me down at all. Brilliant little 4x4. Climbs everything can withstand abuse. Not the best in rivers because it's so light but still decent
It's refreshing to see a simple and practical utility vehicle. Affordable, easy to work on, and some off-road capability. Perfect.
Some off road capabilities? Trust me it's unbelievable specially in sand
@@ebikeslapunta9294 I'll rephrase - definitely way more than just some capabilities. It'll take on the off-road competition and even beat it in most cases.
Farmer spec, a proper little utility vehicle. The Defender starts at £38K! Pickups start from around £20K+VAT, but all are much much bigger
And Lada Niva Legend 4x4 starts from £17K
Why do have to say plus vat?
Tejvir Because if you have a business or are VAT registered in the UK you can claim back that tax from the Govt which is currently 20% .
Defenders are 37k starting in the UK? They’re like 80k+ here in the US
@@xCkillaxC that's like how much they start in Malta
The perfect car for a couple who live in the mountains or country with their dogs. Not ideal for families or anyone who wants to use it mainly for commutes and urban settings. So, that's most people.
Panda 4x4
This would be absolute torture on the highway...
Mahindra Thar is better then this tin can
@@alankritkumar7823 thar any day
Just buy a Vitara
4:23 I think this cargo room wall or cage is easy to remove and you can secure heavier load with regular cargo straps if you need to. If MOT doesn't like this wall missing during inspection then it can be put temporarily back with using 2 loosely tightened bolts.
Headlamps are easy to replace, and the Jimny does look cooler on steelies. Payload is RUBBISH as F though.
Payload was also rubbish on the passenger version as well.
@@automation7295 If payload of this version is 150kg, then surely payload of passenger version must be 150kg - weight of two passengers. ie zero!
@@The0rs But still, removing the rear seats doesn't magically increase. All base model Jimny's are rated 150kg because the engine is pants and isn't capable enough.
Would fit a bale of hay, 2-3 dogs, lawn mower, generator.... All things that you might need as you pootle around a small English farm... You could as a florist or someone in baking or food production use it to deliver goods to shops.
If you need bulk or payload, Peugeot, Citroen, VW can sell you a small van
Jimny barely weighs a ton so idk why it can only carry 150kg.. My Peugeot Partner weighs around 1600 kg and I can put 650 kg in th back and pull 1300 kg which is âme as Jimny
fans: we need a running/bicycle race between *MAT* *YIANNI*
Next drag race: some weird vehicles 😶
👀
It would be the cringest thing in my life if they actually just ran🤷♂️ its called carwow for a reason
i wondering what if they make a BOAT DRAGRACE
@@otoriansaja you gave me a good idea for a comment in the next video, thanks mate 😉
100m run, rest of the 1/4 mile cycling, then return journey in identical slow manual vehicles.
I have the 2016 suzuki jimny dakota (ful option) with bf goodrich 215mm A/T tires, and I love it. Very reliable small 4x4 jeep. Never let you down , nothing ever breaks ( 81000 km ) and darn good in the terrain . Only on the highway with speeds above 100km/h it is not really fun to drive. I once did 145 km/h with it and then it's like you're going to fly off the road at any moment :), but ok, that's not what the jimny is made for and you know that when you buy it. If I had to do it over again , I would buy it back immediately . Very satisfied with .
I honestly think that is the perfect jimny, exactly the spec I would go for.
Does anybody else find this more entertaining than any supercar review ?
Yes sir
The suzuki jimny is so small but yet very capable, a classic!
A true classic!
@Dixon Nyabaro of looking like a ponce
@Dixon Nyabaro Tell me you have never been offroad without telling me you have never been offroad
Over priced, and over rated
th-cam.com/video/_khdAtJzChk/w-d-xo.html
Regular Jimny does not pass emissions.
Meanwhile in EU cities expensive V8 hybrid SUV can drive pretty much where ever.
What exactly do you mean that it "does not pass emissions"?. Of course it does, it has nothing to do with passing and everything to do with average emissions across the brand. You know nothing.
@@HIOP0 But it's the fact that emissions ratings are based on weight. Since the jimney is light it falls under tighter emissions laws. A heavy v8 suv doesn't have to meet such strict rules. Its a farce.
@@HIOP0 still there is something seriously off when Subaru cant bring a 1.8 petrol turbo to the euro market because of emissions, while a 500hp 2.5 tonne hybrid monstrosity with a few km of pure electric range is juuuust fine...
@@HIOP0 Emissions in the EU are biased towards German car manufacturers. Just look at how all the German car manufacturers deliberately broke emissions regs, and what happened? Nothing.
@@HIOP0 Also, EU counts "fleet average", so BMW can produce a 12L V16 that does 3 MPG because it sells pure EV cars (that are junk) but it reduces the "fleet average" emissions, so the monstrosity is OK.
This is a PERFECT dog carrier with that cage separator
I absolutely love the style and "utility" of this little truck. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
Did you get yourself one yet?
@@basselamjad958 Brother my old lady would have my A$$. LOL
You will be lucky to buy it for the RRP of £20k in the UK, most of the dealerships are buying them themselves then reselling them with a 40% profit. The commercial van variant also attracts a higher annual tax band.
th-cam.com/video/iu2GQdTpIBE/w-d-xo.html
If thats true then thats terrible.
Buyers should boycott it. Go to their Suzuki dealer and let the dealer waste their time selling them on the car then tell them you'll buy it but at the real price.
It won't happen obviously.
I bought a 87 Samurai longbody in 91 . It was an ex Canadian Army vehicle and had a few cool differences from the civilian vehicles regarding upgrades for durability and navigating crazy terrain. I used to go to off road meets and be the guy that dragged everyone out of the mud , gullies , quarries ,ravines. It was totally unstoppable and that was part of the contest was everyone doing their best to get it stuck but I was always the tow guy. Wish I still had it . I bought it 4 yrs old with 23k km on it for 2600 cdn . It started a bidding war when I sold it lol
Suzuki is developing a hybrid version of Jimny in India. Its original version "the gypsy" Is still being used by Indian army. Maruti(suzuki's indian business partner) manufactured jimny and exported them but didn't sell them in India. Now they are testing its 5 door version for Indian market and if they exported that 2 door version with that years old engine, they will surely export the 5 door version(probably with suzuki swift's engine)laced with modern technology.
I rented one of these for a 9 day drive around Iceland. i absolutely fell in love with it. Its heartbreaking that i live in the US and we cant have them. Maybe i can import one.... in 20 years.
Jimmy is so unique and beautiful and also I love Matt he inspired me to learn more about cars every day 🙂💖🚗
JIMNY
Nicee the cutest off roader on sale :D. Could you do an off road race between this and the new Range Rover when you get the keys to that eventually? :)
Pretty sure they already have a of the RR Vs the jimny off road
@@TheFlyingClutchman None of them include the 5th gen Rangie, yet tho
18k and Suzuki builds an reliable off-road car that works
Range Rover : 130k+
and we still can’t figure out how to make our cars reliable or functional or that they work in real off road scenarios
what a joke
@@mastodon5220 Land Rover, Toyota and Mercedes left the market of utility offroaders.
They just build super luxury vehicels that have the option to go offroad but never will.
The classic LR/RR , Landcruisers and MB G's have a total lack of luxury but are mostly seen offroad.
@@obelic71 I know I collect G,s one 1981 290GD , and my 2018 500 ,
My 290 goes off road it’s absolutely amazing but my 500 is a bit to expensive for that purpose, indeed
Love mine, does an honest 36mpg around local roads! And you can take that cage out, then the seats go back and recline. The passenger seat reclines right back so you can get long things in.
I got a 2003 model, shifted it abroad. A real joy to drive even today!
Someone in bruxelles: "This jimny is baaaad for the environment! Hybrid v8 cayenne are way better"
World is going under and nobody can see it
@@Kwatshivo so the common man shouldn't be allowed fun cars? Only the privileged? I will remove my catalytic converter and drive around all in your name
alternative take: jimny's are awesome, and v8's. i don't love hybrids or suv's, but both of those things are preferable imo to electric cars. the world isn't going to boil itself to death in the next 15 minutes, and we don't need to get rid of cars or engines or make everybody get tiny miserable cars. especially since those who pollute the absolute most, giant companies, are who should have to do something first. me or any other petrolhead driving a v8, a big truck, or even a Ferrari or Rolls are not who are causing the majority of pollution, and no matter how much greta sails about whinging at everyone, we're not all about to be evaporated by the sun monster lol
that's why they're axing the citroen c1, pedjeout 108 and the toyota igo because smaller cars deal with stricter emission laws and with the added pain in the neck of chip shortage they're better off building bigger cars. cuzz that makes sense. thanks, birocrats.
@@SoulTouchMusic93 False, the only reason why they axed the c1 and 108 is because they are of the opinion the margins on the small but economical cars are too small.. aka , MONEYYYZZZ. it has nothing to do with emissions.. the c1 and 108 and aygo where very eco friendly, they could do 22~25 km a liter. you won't do that in those big guzzeling suv's
@@Sajuuk9 I know, that's why I'm triggered. I kinda want one.
So pumped the Jimny is back! I would love to take this out on some of the off-road trails by my place. The big thing in my area are the Side-by-Sides, but I would prefer something like this.
th-cam.com/video/_khdAtJzChk/w-d-xo.html
Well done Suzuki for getting around the emission regs but £20k for non business users makes this a probable non starter for anyone other than those desperate to get into Jimny ownership. If they could of kept it at £15 and a half k to £16k then it would be an option
@Jay M Only concession I can see is the metal grill separating the passengers from the boot. Ordinary lights, steel wheels etc. were on basic model?
True, might as well buy a Dacia Duster 4x4, it will be cheaper.
@@ttmadness34 Fair play to Dacia. They get a lot right. Pricing ( hopefully that will continue ) and good looking bodywork styles
Exactly!
Due to limited supply in France even with say, 12,000 km they fetch about 32;000 euros and are in great demand second hand. So looks like a rare good investment in a car
I love my little jimny. Even with all its flaws it still had more character and personality than your standard European or American econobox 😁
Is it strong in high roads ? Or you can feel the wind moving the car slightly?? I’m concerned about that
You need to rev it out but it's not lacking in torque for small little 4x4. I wouldn't recommend it for towing anything though
And above 70 on motorways requires some level of concentration but if your using it around towns it's brill 😀
YES! The 'Mericans are complaining about how plus-sized slurpies won't fit in the cup holders! LOL
Great for aftermarket conversion shops , most of those annoyances can be solved
Most of that is now being banned in the UK so good luck ! LOL
Matt! Love your videos, sense of humor 😜
I know someone who bought a commercial landrover and converted it to a passenger vehicle quite easily, the insurance company were fine with this as well. If the commercial Jimny retains all the fixtures required to add seats and seatbelts and Suzuki will sell you these parts then converting this to a passenger version should be quite easy.
I think it's better without the backseats , you could easily take the cage thing out and organise the back for storage. It's a really utilitarian two seater general purpose off road/agricultural vehicle and it's great!
you should see the suzuki carry, same engines just swapped the 4x4 capability for 3x cargo capacity. Perfect donor car for electric farm machinery experiments
Proper cool these I want one
I actually love this thing! The sheer simplicity of if and the 4×4 if needed of course. Do you know the weight of the car Matt?
I also love that I can put a Liger in with some steaks and not a bit to worry about 🐅 🐯
I've got the 'Lite' version here in Australia, so the four seat passenger vehicle with this level of trim.
It's brilliant, I love that there are no frills but all the modern conveniences. AC? Got it. Bluetooth? Yes. Electric windows? Got em. Trick all-grip braking in four wheel drive? Done. Traction control and emergency brake? Yup. You get the picture.
Basically everything except sat nav and the gimmicky touchscreen that infects every modern vehicle. I'll use my phone if I want those, and as far as the basic AC goes 99% of the time you just want to turn it to 'hot' or 'cold' and leave it there anyway. Anything else is just another distraction.
I love the simplicity of this trim level. It just works. It's what cars used to be, and still can be - simple and fun.
I had a 1988 SJ410 High Roof as a daily 20 years ago, took away the cage parts, and had a good time. No trouble with the load carry, I hardly think anyone reeeeallly need too much more than 150 kg. Roof was just as flimsy in 1988, but it made it easy to knock it back up after working standing on the roof. Only thing seen of that happening was the foot prints.
I believe their main use would be for those doing maintenance on train tracks, rural power lines, on bigger industrial plants, golf courses?, and maybe a supplement to a lorry carrying materlials to a building site. to have 2 extra men and some extra tools.
Might be perfect for some companies?
The back end styling is SO nostalgic.... i grew up in the 80s in SoCal with the Sidekick. I absolutely love it. I HOPE this comes to the US.
Tbf Jimny has always been a 2 seat vehicle. My rear seats are always down. This car is perfect if you live in the city or small town and love to go camping or off-road. I consider the steel cage a free extra that most Jimny owners end up buying 😃
th-cam.com/video/_khdAtJzChk/w-d-xo.html
That rear spare tyre looks like a a kid's electric G-Wagon tyre :))
The whole thing looks like a child’s plastic electric jeep that always appears on the driveway of “that” house 😉 on Christmas Day morning 🙄- you all know who I’m talking about.
Just bought one of these little gems...It's under 40K...no luxury tax to the thieving government...It's not fast, great 20 is plenty...It's a 4x4, great in the winter ice n snow etc...Luv it.
Fell in love with this mini Truck this year ...
Their quite popular here Johannesburg 🇿🇦
Perfect, that means i can put in a stereo that is actually good at doing it's job.
As a former Suzuki Samurai owner, I would buy one of these right now if they were available in the U.S.
Amusing reviewer. Covers all the important factors to considers. Good job on the review!
This is brilliant
It’s like it’s made for a off road hobby👍🏻👍🏻
It would have been an even more useful load space if they'd have removed the windows. It's all well and good putting the cage in to protect you from things moving forward but what about side to side?
I’m not sure who this vehicle is for, farmers?
I love the Jimny but this version seems like a master of none. The cage makes the driving position looks very uncomfortable.
The cage is just bolted in, a few minutes and it's out and the seat can sit just how you like
Just like most commercial vehicles, when you're a tall persons, it's somewhat hard to find a comfortable driving position. And some cars, like a VW up for example
It's the only way Suzuki could carry on selling the Jimny in the U.K., by making it a commercial vehicle.
Regardless of who it's for, it's completely sold out with dealers offering new ones at up to 50% over list price.
As a small van driver( Berlingo)
We need
A screen to run android auto or apple car play.
Parking sensor front and rear.
An interior light that's as bright as the sun.
Power fold mirrors,that fold when the things locked(so at a glance you know you locked it.
Everything else in flouncy nonsense. 👍
I'm sad this can't be had in the US. Regardless, I bet someone is going to swap a 400HP Suzuki motorcycle engine into it, which is going to be awesome.
The Jimny is my ULTIMATE dream car! Can't wait to buy one! 💛
@@Kwatshivo The Jimny is not available in the US. It's possible he's from the US, in which case he has to wait 25 years to be able to import the car.
@@ultraguy8771 I'm not from the USA
@@Kwatshivo why are you calling the jimny a "shitbox" anyway?
As a Jimny owner, I can say that they need to upgrade the engine and transmissions instead of 5MT or 4AT (mines an auto), make them both 6-speeds, and replace the 1.5L NA with the 1.3L turbo. That should make the Jimny faster, cleaner, more fuel efficient and more attractive for those that want to use it as a daily driver with off-road capability.
I’ve heard that the upcoming 5-door jimny will come with the 1.3 turbo, hopefully the 3-door will get it too.
Five door Jimny? That would be great, but thought it was only an urban myth, it's been going round the internet since 2018
Suzuki engines are honestly weird, these engines are super smooth and refined when driving normally but when you accelerate hard they make a diesel like sound at first and then start sounding like a supercharging but with less whistling sound. This engine is great for tuning though.
I owned a '91 and 2004 - moded for both speed and off roaring - loved 'em!!! Was about to look at getting a new one and now I just want to cry

Take a shot every time Mats says: “Commercial version of the Susuki Jimny”
The steel wheels are way better for the vehicle that it is and I love the cage. Only thing I would prefer is the LED headlights and sat-nav. I don't care about all that other unneeded stuff like heated seats, I've never longed for them when its -30F in winter and I don't turn the air conditioning on in my truck even when it's 100F+ degrees.
Saw this when I was in Mexico this year, really cool ride.
It's such a cool little design! 👌
@@Kwatshivo so you just hate the Jimny, huh. Just to stop you from calling it a copy cat, Jimny was made since 1970, and G Wagon was made since 1979.
1 week later: Suzuki brings all the comfort creature as optional extras.
What?. You are suitably named willy.
150kg cappacity? Thats literally equivalent to 2 grown men sitting in the back
Quite slim ones as well. Not much of a payload.
I'm not sure this is correct, mine has a payload of around 340kg but I'm in Australia and I'm not sure why it would be different there.
@@FourLowAdventures Got the SZ4 here in England and mine quite often carries around 600lbs (300kg) without any problems.
It is simple at the end of the day, Everyone loves the Jimny. Literally everyone

Customise the hell out of one of these!
Best comment here!
Just discovered this channel. What a wonderful review. ❤
I'm short, therefore this is the best version of the Jimny for me to but.. If it was available in the US. This would be a reasonable replacement for US Mail vans too
I like a basic, honest, no bovine feces car, especially if it's a capable off roader.
Just got mine today, jungle green but with heated seats, everything else is spot on with your review !
Camera: showing BMW in front...
Me: Crash test !
As long as I can play music from my phone, I'm happy, I don't need a lot of screens and all that, I like this car, its design looks "clean"
The bad thing is that it's pricy! I mean, wtf
If you ever decide to cover cars internationally, check out the Mahindra Thar too.

Mate,our indian car will be roasted here. They have the wrangler available
Hold on, hold on - is this the commercial vehicle version of the jimny? I don't think he was specific enough.
The moment this gen Jimny can be imported legally to Canada....I'll be all over it!
I would love to see the Japanese
version with the 660 engine in and the narrow wheels, they must be mad to drive
Any chance you'd review some other Suzuki models, such as the new Vitara or S-cross hybrids?
Can you simply unbolt the cargo space cage to recline your seat?
Matt: Jimny
Subtitles: Chimney
Why can’t they just make a more economical and more environmentally-friendly engine for this car? The old Jimnys were slow and uneconomical, which takes some doing in such a small car!
Bought the Sz4 because l didn't want LED headlamps, heated seats, alloy rims, touch screen radio or climate control . Money saved on that will pay for deep dish plain steel rims, ARB front and rear diff locks and probably lower low range gearing, all more use to me than the afore mentioned!!
Another green freak
It really isn't anything to do with that, watch the Mitsubishi press conference & they explain they are leaving the EU due to the highly restrictive Covid-19 reaction, they also find it strange that they cannot compete with Euro emissions rules like the EU car companies can.
@@williamredfern5504 because I care about the environment? Wow! I just can't see the point in a small car, that's as slow as this and uneconomical. It has literally nothing going for it.
The top part of the wire cage moves back (there are pre-drilled holes) to allow the seat to go back.
Tim is it not the short steel bulkhead below the wire cage that stops the seat going back?
@@pjackowspa you can either take the bottom part out and move the wire cage back as per previous post, or remove the locating tabs on the bottom section by drilling out the small welds, then the lower section moves back as well (it’s just not secured at the bottom; this doesn’t matter to me as I only have a dog in the back.
meanwhile, in my country: The commercial version is 20-ish% less expensive than the base passenger model.
Slightly missing the point of the commercial, I think it’s the most desirable version of them all!
Oh and good luck getting one still.
Sometimes I do wonder if Suzuki hates money. They build a car that everyone wants and then barley capitalizes on it and lets the entire market become a mess. And now this...
Just build a proper Jimny.
Holy shit I've just realized something: EV mandate is just a way of rich countries exporting their pollution to countries where nickel is mined, like mine.
That iron work behind your seat is 4 bolts. Undo those and you can gold the seat down and make a bed 😁👌
Cool looking Suzuki, wish they sold them here in the US! Just need to fix those quirks on it before selling it in the US. Definitely needs a better center console, cell holder area, more power, and infotainment system.
You can easily remove the cage to sit comfy so that's one redeeming factor. Don't know if it's legal.
I've also seen a phone holder accessory.
If you own the vehicle privately, then I don't see how it's illegal.
If you own the vehicle for commercial use, then you must have it on.
@@automation7295 Don't think that's correct if used as a commercial, my son always removed bulkheads in his new vans and never had any problems at MOT time or when stopped by police for roadside checks.
I doubt many will be buying it as a “commercial vehicle” but as a fun, capable off-roader 😬 It could do with a 6th gear tho 😉
l've got the Jimny SZ5
l don't think it would pull a sixth gear very well, you'd be flat out all the time.
lt's not a high speed vehicle. Best to sit at 65mph with the cruise control on.
@@martinoliver9017 and radio 🤗👍🏻
The best driving I almost had was a Suzuki Samurai, the predecessor. These are some cool cars. A real carman's car.
I trust you Matt I know you will upload a video everyday 💯
I remember I tired to order the Jimny, I was told by dealers I wouldn't get 1 but I can buy a 'cancelled order' for 5k over 😂 yer ok thanks I'll take my money elsewhere
Suzuki could sell ten’s of thousand’s more of this thing if it were available in America.
False. It costs the same as a Ford F-150, which is just objectively a much better truck (and moves the most units in North America). Half of Americans wouldn't even be able to fit in this car.
@@daudimasinde6280 You sound like an expert on all things American yet don’t have indoor plumbing. 🤡🤡🤡
@@DJL78 Doesn't change the fact that it still wouldn't sell
@Martin Love Doug, will check it out.
A nice, basic, honest little motor, exactly my kind of thing, although it's too expensive for my bank account lol
That's a $24,000 vehicle, tops, in the USA...if it was sold here. Suzuki is missing out on a HUGE opportunity with this tiny SUV.
