- THE SUZUKI JIMNY 5-DOOR XL IS FINALLY HERE!!
Welcome to the WAY BETTER Suzuki Jimny, the Jimny XL (aka 5-Door). This mega cheap off-road SUV is way more practical than before, with an extended wheelbase, back seats and an actually usable boot space. It's also gotten somewhat of a facelift, and way more added tech for only $3,000 more than the 3-door Suzuki Jimny.
In today's in-depth review, we're going to see all the exterior changes, check out the refreshed interior and NEW rear seats, we'll also be driving and performance testing both the Manual and Auto to see which is better, while also testing the off-road credentials because they've been hit... So should you buy one? Let's talk about that!

Even if its slow for the auto, my wife would still love it, people that want these Jimnys dont want a race/sports car.
Suzuki designed the Jimmy XL to be modified by buyers. Change the tire to balloon type one, put additional flood lights on top, even the fug lights. New front & back bumper support. Some awning the side, water tank at the back. I guess this car is meant to be modified.😊
The engine is so small you change the tires and wheels for offroad its already not gonna make it.
I think it would be fine for around town and a little bit of off-roading. Probably great as a second car for a small family. Looks good in the driveway ☺️
Having owned an auto and manual Jimny, I'd take the auto for off-road capability. The gearing is high for offroad take off on obstacles(even in low range). In the auto you can really load up the torque converter which is needed in serious offroading when the engine is underpowered. Australia misses out on the better specs over seas
By the time the dealerships add their mark up this is no longer going to be a cheap car. Quotes going around are $42k. You can get a Tank 300 for a few grand more.
A 4 year old unit is selling S$100k here in Singapore.
Informative and funny as usual 👍🏻
I would like to have long 3 door, as I don't care about the back seats but more room in the back would be good. But so long, if I had to chose - the 5 door is a winner.
This car desperately needs atleast a 1.5 turbo or a 2.0 NA
No it really doesnt
I have it and I agree so I'm gonna put a supercharger in it along with some other things like a new ECU etc to up the power to 165bhp and 200nm torque. All of the mods are tried and tested so no risk. The underpoweredness is the only negative point of the Jimny otherwise it's just an instant legend.
No need its weight and engine soecs are matching
@@anoopraghunath2471 if you have ever driven one on the highway you would know it needs it. With the stock engine it's fine for a little bit of offroading but if you want to use it as a everyday car and overtake ect. That engine just doesn't work. And the automatic gearbox is also very dated.
@@adriaanserrao2016 the electronic steering wheel isn't very responsive either, and the steering feedback is sluggish.
I came for the cars, but stayed for the vibe! ❤
best car reviewers on youtube!! you guys always make me LMFAO !! please keep puting on more content!!
Watching him pull through the gears in the manual was one of the most painful things I've ever watched. I genuinely feel sorry for that car. For future reference, please, for all manual car kind, stick to driving Automatics, I'm not meaning to be rude or mean, but that was straight up painful. Anyway, i had the manual Jimny 3 door and it was brilliant. Being a driver by profession, i would have a manual over an auto any day. Driving Auto just gets boring after a while and i like to be in full control of the vehicle I'm driving. Auto gear boxes take you away from the full driving experience. But like so many other people, the issue i had with the 3 Door was the lack of space in the Back. I'm hoping that at some point they bring out a JX model for the 5 door like they did with the 3 door.
I have the 3 door manual, and I’d swap the adaptive cruise control for the useless emergency braking system, which has a heart attack when there is nothing else on the road quite often. That is a solution looking for a problem.
If they had given it more power or an engine better suited to the XL version then it would 100% be an option. But given the normal Jinny is slow. I can't imagine how painful the XL would be to road trip in let alone merge on to highways
crazy duo. Nice review with hilarious delivery😁
That's a nice review love it
Would 100% have the manual. It's a fun car, shouldn't have a crappy slushbox in it.
This (as would the 3 door) be great with a small (say 2 or 2.2 litre) turbo diesel and lower low range gears. My 3 door does run away a lot more down a slippery hill than my Rocky ever would
Hi gents love the reviews can you mention the actual country of manufacture of cars you review?
I agree with most that the Jimny probably needs a bit more power. But I feel it’s closest competitor in terms of looks, price, and size, is probably Suzukis own Vitara, so putting something like the boosterjet turbo would cannibalise sales from the Vitara.
私もターボ搭載を望んでいますが、XLターボ搭載はデメリットがあります。
それは新車予約後納車まで何年も待つことになります😂
そしてターボ搭載したXLは新車価格よりも中古価格が上がるかもしれません😢
vitara is more on road focus with a little bit of off-road on the side, latest grand vitara reboot is almost no off-road
jimny is more off-road focus with on road on the side
the target audience is a bit different
No the Vitara isn't that close to the jimny
Perfect First Car...❤it
If i wanted a sports race cqr would not be watching this review, we love Jimmy as it is, small classy 4x4. Sort of Mini Morris of the SUVs
I will definitely buy the manual 5door jimny❤
AUD 34,990-36,490 is too much for it. At least at this price Suzuki should give bigger engine, tires in it bruh
Its $41000 at Suzuki on the Gold Coast with a 4 month wait
I owned a 3 door Samurai and it was a simple, tough and reliable all purpose vehicle. It is great for what it is, but a slightly larger engine or diesel would be perfect.
I could see one Jimny in your front and one in your back while driving. So there people fall in love with Jimny 😄
Definitely the auto . It’s a nightmare stuck in traffic when you have to keep on changing gears all the time. And the Auto is great out there wheeling is well
Those 15" wheels mean you can fit higher profile tyres, which means when you let the tyres down you get an elongated tread for sand etc. I would update the suspension to improve handling, maybe a fuel tank upgrade. The problem is it has a GVM of 1545 Kg with a kerb weight of 1185 Kg. That leaves 360 Kg for people, fuel, any upgrades etc. It doesn't say what is included in the kerb weight? Long Ranger has a 80 litre replacement tank. So take off about 163 Kg for two average people, 80Kg for fuel that leaves 117 Kg for load right there. Any additions like bull bars etc takes off more load allowance. Balloon tyres like has been suggested and larger diameter wheels will all, add weight. So you would have to be very judicious with what you want to take away with you let alone an extra body, even for a short off road camping trip. You could upgrade the GVM with the suspension upgrade but I bet it won't be much. There are probably some engineering experts out there looking at improving the engine performance.
They used the same front door in 3 door jimny which is long for easy enter in 2nd row but they could've shortened it and add more length in the quarter window making it look less weird.
I would buy this car in heartbeat if did better on the highway. If I’m honest that’s where I’d end up using it the most and would rarely take it off road.
i buy it too in a heartbeat the problem is the money
Great job Suzuki. Sad thing is can't buy in Canada.
signal lights are small round shape, whats the point of making the led
It's a good car overall especially for off-road.
But here in India practicality doesn't matter. Size of car and Power of car matter (mostly for those who don't have car and take knowledge from Instagram)
Still it's need powerful engine like 1.8 or turbo petrol
9:38 5 door Jimny Still no space 😑
@@shubham_M7777 that's the point. These cars are not for space. These are not family cars. Both thar and jimny are mainly for offroad. But atleast jimny is 5 door. A little easy for 5 people. As it's new gen of gypsy. It has small engine. Better in high revs which is mostly needed in mud and snow. That's why with less weight and more high revving, it performs best in snow and mud 😉
I would be sorely tempted to get a Jimny if they brought the upcoming European only electric model to Australia.
Manual anyday of the week!
Jimny desperately needs a turbo thou!
Seems like a good alternative to the 3-Door if you have a family, Im holding out for the 7-door though.
Off topic, Howz the Jetour T2 craze in your country?
Imagining an off-road modification with side tents for outdoor camping
🤔 does it have a limiter ?
OK but when's it coming to the UK!!
They should at least offer a second engine option
love it！
You keep saying it’s cheap but they start at $40k in NZ. It’s 5k off a double cab 4x4 triton or hilux.
Yeah, but you aren't legally required to drive like a complete tosser like a dual cab requires.
@@--Nath-- … what?
Manual. Only ever owned cars with a manual transmission and feel I'm a better driver for it. Besides, I own a manual gen 4 Jimny that's 1 year old. Love it.
Its $41000 at Suzuki on the Gold Coast with a 4 month wait. Went on 2/3/2024
What is CC?
I bought one. Slow but I love it
Just upgrade the air conditioner at the back sitter, side mirror have light signal and reverse camera. That all is perfect for me😊
Can’t wait for the classic Aussie Utefying treatment. 😂
At last., what is the waiting time
Its so damn adorable i love small suvs
54990$??? Man this version specifically targeted India and they are giving good discount as we are not ready to give 20000$ for this car
In India it costs $24,000 lol
It's bloody Jacob!!
make a version with around 200hp please
Unfortunately will end up being a 2 year waiting list and price will jump to 40k +
新車価格より中古価格が上がる車😢
Matt needs a Gymny
Suzuki does have some more powerful engines available, it’s surprising they haven’t seen fit to lift the power in the 5dr.
My old Daihatsu Rocky is a 2.8 TDI, I'd take that engine in the Jimny any day. Or a 2.0 turbo petrol
i think they sould put AGS transmission insted a regular automatic transmission in that 5 doors version. the body of 5 door jimny is more heavier than its 3 door little Brother and also regular automatic transmission is more heavier too i think it wolud be better to use AGS. to solve the weight ratio isue in 5 doors version cut the weight in transmission would be a brilliant Idea.
Fine for around town to look different. A toy car actually. Too small. Can't load overlanding stuff in it. Like a match box. And 1.5 litre petrol engine cribed from a Singer sewing machine, and too expensive.
ROAM OVERLANDING disagree With your comment.... And his was the 3 door
Please, Suzuki brings this new 5 doors model to Spain. I ❤Jimny.
I drove my sons Jimny once that was the first and last time l will drive it no power and l own a drive a 1997 Toyota Hilux similar horse power but much more torque and so much easier to drive after all my Hilux has a 2.4 litre 4 cylinder motor l asked my son is there any way of extracting more power out of it and my wife has a Suzuki Baleno same size engine automatic and it isn't a real chore to drive seems to have a bit more power than the Jimny
I thought it was getting a turbo??
Missing the request sensor button
Thank you Luka Doncic. for a good review..
Love the new 5 door Jimny! they should have an option as RWD for city driving! to bring the price down! it's a perfect car for the city drive, and also Jimny is perfect for off roading but Not ideal for HWY driving! they should come standand 4wd version bigger wheels and tyres and 1.4 tubo engine, also 6 speed manual and 6 speed Auto! then the price would be right!
Please Suzuki work out a deal with GM to sale these in the US!
It’ll look cool when it gets the g wagon treatment 😮
definitly 5 speed manual for me please
i like the idea of the car in concept, but its too small for me, cant fit in one.
Awesome vid, awesome car - but it is not really practical with that engine. It offers worse performance than a 2000 Suzuki which costs 1 or 2k. It is unreal. So I am waiting for a new engine - they will have to upgrade the engine in a few years I imagine.
$40k? Seriously?
The Auto is the way to go 🎉
Like. You guys. So. Funniest test. Drive. I. Have. Ever. Seen. Test. More. Cars. You. Both. Good. Sales. Reps. From. Wayne 😊
I bought this 5 door Jimny here at Bharat (India)
5 months back and M lovin it
Hi How are you? totally off topic i am a software developer from Colombia and i work with people from Pune India. I really like your country. Now i have a question. I want to buy a 5 doors jimny... What do you think about the lack of power the people said? is really slow? is dangerous for overtakes?
Let’s face it. The low power engine supplied is a passive safety feature. More power with the obviously less than remarkable handling dynamics would be a recipe for disaster.
i feel like the indian and australian automobile industry and quite similar. this car also recently relaesed in india. also most of your videos are are of indian cars or cars that are very popular in india. anyways love from india 🔥 🔥
Indian cars mean cars made in india in this comment, not necessarily indian brands
@@vasu_0001 I mean cars made by indian brands and also the cars from other brands famous in india like toyota fortuner and suzuki all cars. Also carsauce just released the review of Mahindra thar(indian car from indian brand), that proves my initial point.
@@aaravagarwal2844 yeah i know, i was clarifying for others
105 H.P ? is so beautiful, but is so weak
Manual for me
Little 1.8 TDI would have been great.
more overdubs please 🤣
Remember when Suzuki USA sold the Vitara/Sidekick/Tracker 4door 4wd for close to nothing.
1500ccなのは先代の1300ccに比べれば良いが欲を言えばターボが欲しい。
スズキとしてはコストを下げたいのでしょうがオプションで用意して欲しい。
日本の軽自動車規格660ccターボが優れていた分、XLについてもターボ搭載をお願いしたい。
The rear seats fold in a pretty weird way lol
suitable car in the Philippines because of potholes everywhere.
Yes I would buy one; but then I'd shoe-horn a 2.2 litre 😁👍👍
Super expensive for a really cheap car with a 4 speed auto, not the only old school thing. At least now you can at least use your Jinny to go grocery shopping…
The latest mini g-wagon
I'm coming inside 😂😂😂
In India we have keyless request sensors on front both doors and also boot,cruise control.... But no adaptive cruise control.... I bought one and it's awesome especially for our broken pot hole ridden narrow roads
We are almost in 2024,i refuse to buy a FOUR speed automatic.Four speed? really suzuki?
Whoever makes a bolt on turbo kit for this car will sell heaps
This machine is literally the average value of automobile manufacturing!
Equivalent of 90s B movies so bad it's good, fan base powered behemoth sales
🎉🥳
How many times do you need to say bloody 🙄
Australia needs force gurkha
Relax remember jimmy slogan goes by you can go fast but i can go anywhere
Do drag race with horse 🐎
I had no idea Luka Doncic had a side gig doing car reviews on TH-cam
