From 2015 also the old Jimny is equipped with the same type of traction control (ALLGRIP PRO). I have thoroughly tested both models, and there are no substantial differences in off-road performance. The ground clearance is only due to the higher tires ... with 195/80 the old Jimny has the same ground clearance. The little extra power of the new is compensated by gears a bit shorter in the old. In conclusion ... where one goes goes the other.
The extra power does make quite a difference. The places where the old Jimny stalls is because the aircon was on. With the new Jimny, there is no noticeable difference in performance worth the aircon on. The old Jimny is still exceptionally capable, with or without TC. The TC makes it very easy for novice drivers.
Ok ... I also had a Jimny 3rd generation without ALLGRIP PRO ... and did not go into some twist situations where the Jimny I have now (2015 with TC) passes. It's one of the most performing systems around, but not as an ARB rear locker (which I have ... and it's really another story) 😁👍
I would love to buy a Jimny but can only afford a second hand old model, from the video it appears the old model does substantially poorer than the new one, is that so? Or is it the (what appears to be) bigger wheels on the new model in the video that makes it perform better with better ground clearance?
The new one has traction control, which makes quite a difference. I have however extensive off road driving experience. The driver of the old Jimny is fairly new to off-road driving.
He is not a very experienced driver. To show how well the Traction control works, I attempted to take the same lines as he did, going as slow as possible
In fact you have to do so ... keep moderately accelerated to give way to traction control to work ... The white Jimny, what year is it? Because if it is from 2015 onwards it should have the same type of traction control (ALLGRIP PRO)
A mí me parece que es un vídeo para desprestigiar a las primeras versiones del suzuki jimny, cuando con un bloqueo de diferencial trasero sales con menos trompicones que con el nuevo de fábrica. Lo de la potencia no voy a negar que es mejor cuanta mas fuerza disponible tengas, pero los desarrollos tanto en los diferenciales, como en la trasfer y en el propio cambio de marchas también cuentan mucho. Mi suzuki jimny de primera generación ha salido de muchos berenjenales el solito, y cuando pueda le pondré un bloqueo y un winch, y con eso se convertirá en imparable.
Para mí concepto los dos suzukis son iguales solo depende del conductor y el tipo de neumáticos tengan y me parece a mí que el conductor del Jimny blanco no tiene mucha experiencia
By the looks of things the new jimny is more capable, bit that the old one wasn't, the new one is just better. I've just placed an order for a manual glx in the same medium Gray colour...
Victor what are the biggest differences between the new and old regarding its off-road characters. And how told are you? Would a 6'3" weighing 217lbs fit comfortably in the new Jimny? Re-edit Please do a comparison of the new Jimny with some of the other serious offroaders.
It has a slightly wider track, and a bit better ground clearance. The more powerful motor makes a big difference, and you can see from the video the difference the Traction Control makes.
Suzuki literally make the best 4x4s ever they know what we love and want out of our 4x4s jeep also with the wrangler still awesome, landrovers gone to shit all their vehicles are independent suspension now so any Land Rover after 05 is boring and annoying and to modern looking
Pfftt… my 2004 German Spec'd RAV4 4wd could do this...lol no. I plan on replacing the old RAV when she finally goes down with either a used 4th gen or maybe even a good last gen. These Jimny's are just fantastic little get arounds.
Great video and Awesome playgrounds. Keep these adventures rolling ✌️👍
This little AllGrip never disappoints. Beautiful.

What transmission do you guys think is better auto or manual? Noticed one guy stalling slot so I'm assuming hes in a manual.
Great cars, both of them (no formidable rivals out there in this class) and very well filmed!
i think in the old jimny ..you put a stupid driver on purpose ..

Very good demonstration partly on undeveloped places.
Great video & I like the paint job on the roof!
would help if the old jimny driver knew what he was doing
He is not a very experienced driver. To show how well the Traction control works, I attempted to take the same lines as he did, going as slow as possible

@@danielecigo3987 We never got the 3rd gen Jimny with the All Grip Pro in South Africa.
Ah ... I did not know this
Daniele Cigo Neither did us in Brazil.I have an old gen 2019 allgrip and the New gen did not arrive in Brazil
....excellent video,...what is the tire size of this new jimny,..

I enjoy this a new Jimmy’s rooftop !
The old-Jimny driver should not drive. How on earth do you Stoll a vehicle so many times consecutively?
His passenger kept turning on the aircon without him seeing.
Excellent video! Would like to see the first section from outside.
Unfortunately only still pictures
Me too
is the new jimney being driven am Auto ?has a steady speed uphill compared to the old Jimney needing clutch control ?
Yes, it is an automatic. I was trying to drive it as slowly as it would go. You can't drive the manual that slowly.

The traction aids make a big difference
Only difference here is driver experience and lack of tyre tread!
Get some insa turbos on that white one and it would have eaten every obstacle!

so, new Jimny got better?

I'm a shorty, I'm 5'7". I have a friend who is 6'3", and he is very comfortable driving it.
@@vicrundle4661 thanks victor for replying promptly.
@LM AO Was that necessary? LOL
Is it that the new gen Jimny is on an automatic transmission Vs the old one on a manual ?
Correct. New one is auto, old is manual.
@@vicrundle4661 that adds much more to is capability :) manual transmission path doesn't allow you to crawl slowly like an automatic does.
What is this place with a made offroad track?
El conductor de el OLD no sabe manejar, hasta en lo más sencillo queda como si fuera primera vez usando un carro fuera del alfalto
India 🇮🇳 me kab tak ari ye

ブレーキLSDが素晴らしいですね！
El que maneja el nuevo es principiante/Rockie
No, I am deliberately going too slow and taking the wrong line, to demonstrate how the Traction control works.
