One of these with the 1.4 turbo out of the swift would be great
I’d go for the 5 doors, in a heartbeat. Great move, if priced well, this will be a huge success. Congrats Suzuki!
Hard to beat the extra space!
Just was at a dealer this morning over $40000 with metallic paint, no other extras!
Spot on it will outsell the 3 door
@@paulsandford3345what colors are non metallic!?
@@sunnyg6109 the sad part is non, in fact they have just raised the price of the metallic paint to nearly $900.00 and the other paints are two tone and they are over $1200.00 it's ridiculous!
Just got mine five days ago. Alpha MT. Awesome drive.
I have installed a evc throttle controller on my 5D Jimny Automatic. It has definitely put a smile on my face
5 door jimmy looks spacious and good for the family works
A very nice design, Jimmy jeeps as always have solid built I think both the 3 and 5 doors can work in any capacity or occasion it's just up to the individual perspective and preferences and love for the Jimmy jeeps but overall nice looking took them a while to come out with it but I think it's worth the waiting 👍👍
I have 5 door bluish black Alpha MT, and god i love it. Its a car with character and expands your perspective and horizon. Unbelievable and too capable. Got the bfg ko2 in 215 75 r15 and its just glides swiftly. Truly incredible for time to come.
That Jimny XL 5 door should be priced at $28990. When Suzuki released the 3 door model back in 2019 it was priced at $23,990 then Covid hit and they kept increasing the prices and blaming in on Covid. All they were doing is making more money. Now a 3 door Jimny manual is $30,490. Even the 2019 Suzuki Vitara manual has had a massive price increase. Use to be $22,490 now its $29,990
And people unwillingly pay the sticker price in droves. It hardly is a grudge purchase.
OMG heart braking knowing this now...
😮what?
Your presentation was not short. It was just right.
just got one i love it
They got the dimensions just right with this 5 door model . More practicalty and it looks the part .
Great car and a great, honest review.
For everyone not wanting the BS marketing pricing, the cheapest is basically $40k on the road, for the White Manual. Then another $685 for all the other colours except for the two-tone roof which is more again. Then add $1500 for the auto transmission.
That’s what I’ve been told as well. Look like some dealers are slugging added dealer delivery costs to take advantage of what they expected pricing to be
Thats exactly us indians thought as well...
"Good car that is overpriced and underpowered"
Price for production have increased, you ain't getting the older price anymore as you can see most manufacturers across the globe have started doing it.
What colors are non metallic?
Best car made ever( in my specs), thank you Suzuki ❤️🇯🇵🌟, and thank you for this very Good, calm and experienced Video, Great ❤️ TK
The seats not lying flat is a bummer. The added length would make it ideal for sleeping in if the seats laid flat but most serious 4wders/campers will probably remove them & install a false floor for the extra space.
My thought exactly. I wish they would have gone with the same fold-down seats of the 3 door.
To anybody who actually takes the seats out of a 5 door is silly. May aswell just get a k truck
Are the back seats easily removable?
I'm waiting for mine, any day now 🤞🤞
While the 3 door standard looks better, I would get the 5 door for the increased practicality.
If it had a slightly bigger 1.8 engine with the added torque,id buy in a heartbeat!
It is much capable. You could upgrade the tyres.
Getting the 5door
With the decent low range, it seems to be geared towards off-road users. But I think Suzuki have lost an opportunity here because of the very small space in the rear. Looking at the dynamics, they could have lengthened the rear by up to 150mm or even 200mm and not sacrificed departure angle. Then you could have had a decent amount of loading space for camping etc.
we don't have Suzuki here in the US any more but love simple technology cars usually very reliable not much complexity better reliability
Bought a 3door manual in 2021 for 36000 including all the on road costs. Even the 3door with the 1.5 was so underpowered. I love them but not a 40000aud car!!! Sold ours a few months ago now. Think Suzuki missed a trick not putting in the 1.8 or 2ltr in either the 3 or 5 door but guess that’s prob down to carbon tax e.g emission reasons
Thats exactly us indians thought as well...
"Good car that is overpriced and underpowered"
1.4t would better engine option.
Every other manufacturer on the planet is able to put an actual motor in their vehicles.
By this point I was hoping they would put a 1.4l booster jet turbo engine paired with a 6 speed automatic in it.
The extra doors and seats makes the jimmy bigger and heavier. The 2 door variant was already struggling with power with its pathetic 1.5l and an outdated 4 speed auto.
This thing would feel so much more gutless. Ain’t no fucking way I’m paying 40k for this
Such a brilliant crisp review. What were specs of the tyres?
The Jimny XL runs the same 195/80 R15 Bridgestone Dueler H/T tyres as the three-door Jimny, mounted on 15x5.5-inch wheels.
5 door all the way. its what ive been waiting for
How's the cabin noise?
Got a jimny top spec for last two months ...absolute pleasure to drive ...
I have the 3 door ( one of the last Comfort + you can have in Europa) and if the XL woud be on sale in germany i wird buy one aswell.
Exc video, here in Latin America ...Costa Rica the top of the line GLX automatic version costs $36.900 USD
Bring this beauty to the North American market please
Wish we could get these in the US....
Lovely car.
But why not use the 1.4 boosterjet?
I drive a Vitara Allgrip with that engine and that's really pushing.
Lots of torque at low revs.
Looks great in red. We all love the 3 door. But I expect 70% of sales will be the 5 door.
I would totally drive this in the US if i could. I'd level the front suspension, slightly bigger AT tires, lighter wheels, 2 aux lights, and crossbars for my sport racks.
I will be getting a jimny. I think ill end up going the 3 doors as for me, the pros outweigh the cons. But i havn't made up my mind fully yet.
Dont lol
Wait, 3dr used price may drop dramatically once 5drs are freely available.
Go with the 3 door if it is mostly for two adults and 5 door if you have the kids in there a lot. Very spacious in the front for two adults because it doesn’t angle in like most cars, quite deceptive. 3 doors handle amazingly and look better in proper proportion. Can’t go wrong with a Jimny, a car their owners love way more than Korean cookie cutter’s.
@@jasonfreestone9944cookie cutters😂
would go for the 5 door
4 speed auto, did I just get sent back to the 80’s…
I wish. Unfortunately the Jimny is as close as we'll ever get to old school dependability.
250mm longer isn't that bad for extra weight etc and cross over angles but much better access to the back.....I would remove seats anyway so looks all right. Still love my little one though.
Your specs showed 6 speed manual but you were testing a 5 speed manual???
5 door most definitely ❤❤❤ auto
I got the 5 door MT
Slightly same price here in Jakarta instead additional 1-2k AUD
ill get the 5 door. i like the body style. i dont need the offroading function
In India we get only the 5 door but had we got the option I would have gone for the 3 door
Jimni xl auto brisbane drive away price is 41 k. I went to the dealer and thats what they said. Also minimum 6 month wait.
wow it looks good i loved it 😍
I love both 3D and 5D but I am waiting for a better engine. They must put a better engine in it in a few years. Or maybe there will be engine kits available outhtere which don't break warranty and stuff.
a 2.4 from a 2009 and up grand vitara / kizashi would be great. (J24B)
What's flapping at 1:23?
Is it not underpowered?
I will go for the 5 doors version because my 2 daughters would need seats properly.
For reference, how tall are you?
Europe market???
Waiting for the dual cab ute
i wish it would come to germany😭
Get some OME suspension and 2 inch body lift lower axel gearing and 30inch tires on.
I think that Suzuki should consider bringing out an electric version, whatever the size. I would go for the XL electric (if I can afford it).
Should bring out a single cab ute in the longer wheelbase
Now we're talking!!!
At the price it needs a 1.8 or 2.0 and a 6 speed auto. Still a cool thing.
This will be a huge hit like the other jimny... there will be massive wait lists...
They cant even keep up with 3 door jimny orders let alone this too..
Crazy.
They might be shifting their production to india...
Not that thats a bad thing at all (i have owned 2 royal enfields)
I just dont know how they could keep up demand without doing that.
Btw i own a new jimny but i had to wait nearly a year after deposit to get it... that was in 2019
They already manufacture this in India (and only in India for the 5-door version for now). I’ve had one for the last 5 months and I can already tell you guys it’s a hoot!
It's already being manufactured in India, and it's been a disaster in terms of sales, which is why they're attempting increase export. India has had much better pricing, just 25000 aud at launch, and due to its lack of sales its been repositioned at 20000 aud. Australian pricing is a con job.
@@suvolensteam bhp 😊
@@MrStealthy007 That will be the case with every domestic made product vs import. The Mahindra and Royal Enfield are also relatively cheaper in India since they are made there but purchasing power is less in India. That lower price for Jimny is only for clearing yr end stock which is common in the industry and prices may return to original after new yr.
Doesn't give much away to 3rd in performance on and offroad, its no brainer the 5dr is just better to live with.
Next upgrade fit vitara's 1.4t engine. While great onroad that 230nm torque at 1500rpm would also be useful offroad.
Should have been a ute back instead of tiny cargo area.
What does it offer? “Presence!”
F*** me dead!
For the wider doors on the 3 door, Ill take it.
I had the biggest crush on this guy when we were young and now here he is telling me about the Jimny. Weird. Not sure I want to spend 40k on it. If only it was 30k I’d get it immediately! What I really want to know is- will car prices ever go down again?!
how tall are you
I'd consider the 5 door after selling my 3 door. The 3 door got tiresome on long highway hauls, " jiggly " indeed, as most short wheelbase 4x4's are. As a second car with minimal use, I'd still take the extra room and versatility of the XL. Reasonably priced too. 👍
How many of these can fit in a shipping container? I’ll take a bunch from India to sell in Canada.
Cry and wish for more, after 15 years you can get one 😂
Isn't this the same Maruti Jimny sold/made in India or did Japan also started making 5 door version now
This is the Indian-made model, exported to Australia. Japan still only builds the three-door for now.
Jimny has always been a well rounded off-roader, but then I wish Suzuki can add diesel engine to the package. A 1.3 turbo diesel would be a welcome addition, especially looking at the state of economy right now. And, for me, the 5 door is it...
Where is it made..???
The Jimny XL is made in India.
Nice review. We picked up our new 3 door auto after 1 year wait a week ago
It’s had a complete upgrade from top to bottom and front to back and looks incredibly insane and it’s ready for an adventure
Yes definitely 3 door is the way to go
Shame we can’t get these in North America.
Great review. Sure wish we got these in the US.
The Australian pricing for the Jimny is an absolute con job, this jimny 5 door costs 20000 AUD in India.
Thar would have eaten the sales there if offered
blame the shipping and import duties and taxes!
Yeah - this thing is on a massive sale at the moment in India- Like 2500 USD additional discount in the December month
Jimny has been a big flop in India - Mahindra Thar stole the limelight :)
Jimny is made in india, not Australia.
Yeah, with bugger all equipment.
whats your height
I’m saving my money for a Thar. And kitting it out with all the extra money I will be saving
Very sad Suzuki pulled out of North America. This is Suzuki's strength, building small, practical vehicles. I can't see why the Jimny wouldn't sell well in Canada and the U.S.
6 speed manual?????
A jimmy double cab Ute would be cool
On the current chassis that wouldn't leave too much room for a tray, but we'd get behind the idea of a Jimny ute (maybe the return of the Sierra Stockman!)
GMW Tank 300 eats this for breakfast
Jimny Short: CBU Japan
Jimny Long: CBU India
Great video!
There looks like there’s been an error of misprint about the manual gearbox. It’s a 5 speed not a 6 speed.
My cons with the 5 door model are:
-needs to be a 5 seater
-needs a turbo or something with more power
Overall looks great but I need to test drive to see what I think.
If it had a 200hp engine or a torquey diesel, I'd get one
Sad it is no longer lies flat for 2nd row -_-
For a common Asian size the Jimny is ok, I think they need to release bigger version for a tall passengers,
It-s a cool little car but where I'm from, it's the same price as a Mazda CX 30
Damn😂
Suzuki sells a rebadged RAV4 in Switzerland
That's interesting
5 door Jimny or Tank 300 ??????
if it was 200hp for that price would be good
So if I got things right, it has a conventional engine and not a hybrid. Right?
That is correct. It's a naturally aspirated, non-hybrid 1.5-litre petrol engine across the Jimny range.
@@DrivecomauIs the gearing better then the 3 door version? The 3 door version is loud on freeway.
There's no driveline changes, gearing is identical between the three- and five-door models.
@@Drivecomau Then this version can not be sold in europé. It won't pass the environmental requirements.
Should be equipped with a turbo
You said 5 speed manual, but in the specs table you out 6 speed manual.
Sorry about that. That once got past the keeper, but it's a five-speed manual, not six.
This would make an amazing electric car if it had like 275 miles of range.
5 door for me for more utility and easier for my kids to ride
This is gonna sell like hot cakes
It’s the same as with the old school Land Cruiser - it sells like hot cakes and only their owners know why. 🙌🏼
Here in UAE there is long waiting for 5D variant. Booking for 3D stopped many months ago.
You need to say how tall you are for a better perspective of interior space
Similar in price to a Polaris, which makes them not bad value, we have Polaris as work vehicles and their junk.
