Would you pick the Jimny over a Mahindra Thar?
heck no
never, kei cars and proper off roaders together? please no.
Yes, if i have more city commute oriented and weekend fun preference. Otherwise, thar is still the off road king in India
Yes!!!!
Any day Jimny. Jimny is just too good.
I'll be honest. Sirish sir's review was the review i was waiting for most eagerly.
Absolutely🎉😂
Hope you enjoyed it!
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed such a detailed review of the Jimny!
The best of all compared to the other reviewers
Sirish is majorly missed at Overdrive, and I don't trust any other auto journalist apart from him.
Having grown up in a defence family, Gypsies were pretty much regular traffic everywhere I went. I've seen it being used for roles that no other car could ever dream of doing. The fleets were a mix of old and new vehicles. You can actually see almost every iteration of the gypsy still running about in camps. Bulletproof Reliability.
Comfort was never an option but their off road capability is the stuff of legends. Also, daily driving one was known to be a good substitute for gym routines 😂
True, it’s a proper workshop
😂 good substitute for gym routines!
A Punjab Police officer, veteran of the insurgency (unfortunate time for Punjab), was quite nostalgic about the Gypsy. Could take it into the sugarcane fields, places where almost no other vehicle could go and if it would get stuck at any point, "4 lads could lift it up and out."
Only for real man😂😂
my grandfather worked in the government sector, he was given a gypsy. it was the very first car that made me love cars. i always loved riding around in it. later he got the hard top version with the 1.3 engine, i learned to drive on that. i currently have a bolero, but if i manage to save some more money, i would definitely find a gypsy again. its not comfortable, refined, or easy to drive, but it has its own vibe
Such a heartfelt story!
And yes, the Gypsy does have its own charm!
There will always be the true Gypsy “king”. Love your story mate, resonates with a lot of middle class family cars through the 80s and 90s
I love the way Sirish gives review of the car. " 5 years and they did not have time to retune the engine" LOL. This was the best statement. I wish to go off road once with him.
Anytime!
Careful what you wish for 😜
There is no need to retune it to make it a high performance engine.
Off-road and you need an extremely reliable rugged simple engine
This fits the description
50 NM and 25 bhp more will be amazing
@@sirishch sireeshetta poli
Review obviously will be the best because it is Sirish Sir's video but omg the editing....it is soo good. The sounds they added when the pictures change with that bg music....gave me goosebumps, specially when sir explains old iconic cars.
Thank you! Will convey your comments to the editors
Thank you! We'll pass on the compliment to our edit team!
Sirish - your enthusiasm is so infectious!! I had two Gypsies - both with the "breadbox" hardtop - and with Hella additional lights fitted. I remember in the monsoon rains water coming out of places I didn't imagine water could get to in the windscreen frame and near the speakers. But I absolutely loved them both, though I found the original 410 was more reliable than the 413 "Gypsy King" (got one of the earliest ones). Spent most of the time in the mountains with them.
Thank you! Impossible not to fall in love with the Gypsy but boy does it give you a solid workout
Every one of us has very fond memories of the Gypsy 😊
Sirish sir, the wide grin you were wearing while talking about the Gypsy’s dashboard, I just loved it!!!! I just turned 21, donot yet have any memories with the gypsy, but will surely do soon. My first is gonna be a gypsy for sure. It’s the first love of a 6year old kid!!!❤❤ lovely video. Was smiling throughout!😊
By far the best review on 2023 5 door Suzuki Jimny. No other review comes close to this one. Thank you for all your efforts the team has put in.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the love!
Kids who are new to the off-roading /adventure world won’t know what a beautiful machine this is!
Effortlessly capable off-road 💯
But the Jimny will introduce them to it, like the Gypsy did for us
Well I am not that new.
But gypsy is my favourite from years
This man started living his passion for vehicles way earlier when there was no trend at all in India...
I still remember that fz review with its compititers on Sunday morning started with biryani 🤗
We love our Biryanis!
Wow, that was ages ago!!!
@@sirishch yup that fz review was well described back then.
from those early days i started following you & now you have came a long way...☺️
Tempted to buy now after your review. It's lot more practical than big SUVs on narrow hilly roads, and to get one out of trouble when 4*4 is really needed.
And I’m here to tell you to listen to your heart
All those of us who've grown up with the Gypsy will really relate to the portion about the Gypsy in this video.
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@@sirishch ✌🏼
True to its name!
Gypsy Officers Car! This 85 car of my age is still running smooth.
What a solid car it is
Still obsessing over the gypsy❤ i know its not a fair comparison, but for my eyes,the gypsy looks soo good!!
Yeah it’s a looker
@@sirishch anyday! Especially with a rally cage and stock wheels... idk why i don't really find gypsys with huge tyres attractive
Great review as always, thank you!
Memories of Gypsy! We had two gypsies in the family when I was growing up. Both were MG410s. The memories that I have are the amazing off road capabilities the Gypsy had, which is common to all who have sat in a Gypsy. But the special memories were the quietness of the engine where one had to prod the accelerator pedal at the signal just to make sure that the engine was running!
Another not so nice memory was the petrol fumes that used to enter the cabin through the rear! Now they are gone with the new MPFI engine.
I was a big fan of the Gypsy and always wanted to own my own Gypsy. So finally in 2018 I got a chance to buy on army disposal Gypsy in a good condition. Bought it from Bhopal and drove it down to Mumbai!
I still have it.
I feel that Jimmy cannot replace the Gypsy. It just does not have the charm that the Gypsy has. And don't forget the soft top which can be taken off and one can have lots of fun.
You mentioned that the gearing is low, but I have hit 75 kmph in the second gear several times.
To sum it up, Jimmy is a very capable off roader but not a replacement for Gypsy! Gypsy rules!
Do you think it is a worthy successor though?
@@evoIndia Yesss!
Lovely memories of the Gypsy, thanks for sharing. But let’s face it no way can we live (comfortably) with a Gypsy today. Jimny though…. As a daily 👍🏼
And yes we used the Gypsy for a DAILY here in Aizawl Mizoram it was not a problem during my younger days
In my younger days my daily was an ambassador
Gypsy=Memories of Rally Rally Rally all around Coimbatore,Still owning a 2018 brand new from Showroom with all Gizmos in Stock Condition and Enjoying it.Thanks to Sirish Sir for this Beautiful Vlog.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@evoIndia Throughly Enjoyed😊
Keep enjoying the Gypsy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@sirishch Sure Sir,Thanks a lot.😎
You are a lucky man🎉🎉
A well compiled video. They way the Jimny gobbled up the off-road obstacles had me impressed. And yes Sirish’ rally achievement deserves a special mention. Clocking the second fastest time to finish even after hitting so many roadblocks. Very impressive 👏👏
Thank you so much Yatesh!
Gypsy never gets old ❤ i still have euro 3 gypsy with me 😊
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have euro3 army auction gypsy, last week i have searched for the gearbox mounting, the price of the mounting hiked from rs 120 to 1100, the mgp dealer said the mounting of jimny and gypsy is same, after march 2023 new batch of gbmount comes with new Price!!!
Sirish - thank you! Your expertise, experience and enthusiasm are so contagious and refreshing change from the mechanical mono-tone reviews. You don’t care about being politically correct or to please the manufacturers and that’s what makes your reviews so real and easy to identify with. Loved every min of this 30 min video! Great job, keep it up. Really hit the ball out of the park with this one. Awesome!
Thank you 🙏
Thanks man, appreciate it
Great fun review. When I was a kid in the 90s, if anyone asked me what case will you but when you grow up, it was always Gypsy. I guess that’s why my love for off-road cars is intrinsic.
Sirish sir is just absolutely brilliant. He has given me dreams of going rallying as a side hobby other than my regular job. Oh, and thank him for the super obsession with The Gypsy he has imparted. Wish to do a proper stage with him some day
Thanks man you’re too kind
What i understood from the t nail, gypsy is still more pleasing to the eye and better looking . Tho Jimny isn't bad at all.
This is the best example of how you cannot go wrong with minimal , simple lines, circles and boxy shape.
We agree 💯
Classic lines 👍🏼
Sirish the saviour of evo india 🇮🇳
😁✌️🙏
Absolutely educational, nostalgia evoking, thanks for adding so much life to these videos
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for the love
No review like Shirish’s. Awesome coverage of the key issues for a compact SUV. Good to see Suzuki had brought in the car without too many changes unlike their other ones, where they replaced strong bodies with tin cans.
🙌
I was eagerly waiting for the Jimny in the Indian market. I had never wanted to buy a Maruti for the last few years but this is something that I wanna have for myself
Jimny is a hero car for the entire brand
Nothing can't beat The legendary Maruti gypsy King.. When you take offroading especially hilly area...
Loved the entire video, loved the drone shot of you overtaking, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍
That’s one of my fave rally shots!
Grey color with some graphics one was looking the best
👍🏼
Two in One Review! - The Gypsy and the Jimny. Beautiful Video.. Hats Off! The Jimny will rock the market in India, Only Tata and Mahindra can come close.
There are reviews and reviewers...then there is this guy OMG!! Your a legend SIRISH!!!
🙏🙏🙏
G.O.A.T? 😜
I have gypsy 2018 model now im booking jimny ❤
Awesome
Exactly its time for Jimny..i still remember when used to drive Gypsy i alws has to play accelarator so ti keep in idle. And yes the bump......gypsy and RX 100 these 2 legends in indian heart
Amen! Great vehicles those two.
Love the cinematography on this video! Exceptionally good and Sirish sir's review is just so fun to watch and lights up a smile on the face.
What. A. Review. Only Evo India and Sirish Chandran can pull off something like this.
Thanks man
Gypsy may be a old car but the attraction from people you get when you drive it on the road is awesome. It's truly an eye catcher ❤
Brilliant one, Sirish! Enjoyed the juxtapositioning of the Gypsy and the Jimmy!
Thanks Ajay
Happy to see Gypsy more than Jimny...u showcased a Sep 2018 one, I have a Dec 2018 one :)...and that's indeed true...Gypsy just doesn't give up!
You can’t kill a Gypsy!
The OG!
This is a perfect unbiased review.. I wish to have one...
Thank you 🙏
You’ll love it
It's good that they are launching this with K15B engine, for which there are Turbo kits readily available ! 👍
You have a damn good point Vijay
Excellent Review. Was waiting for this. You seem to be in love with the Gypsy more than anything else 😊. After owning 2 Gypsy Kings, I would say the Jimny is a perfect successor. If they price it well, I might think about it. Thar is good but the Jimny is light and nimble, same like the Gypsy.
Thank you and we agree!
Jimny will sell like hot cakes…
The powerdrift review was so bad ,thay I left it midway when i saw this video pop up.
Now you know which channel to stay subscribed to! 😊
🤭
@@evoIndia 💯
From South Africa....very good review!
I’m sure it’s headed your way soon too
awesome review...worth waiting for :)
When an expert like you reviews something, it becomes a sumptuous treat for any automobile enthusiasts. Wonderfully done Sir.
That parting comments and the background track! Goosebumps
Aye!
Review by Sirish is exemplary. I have seen several other reviews but this one is way ahead. The enthusiasm is infectious though I could not share much of the elequent praise for Gypsy. Coming back to Jimny, I guess there are few like me facing a dilemma, to buy or not. To a great extent this review would swing a 'for' decision subject to pricing of the car.
The prices will be out tomorrow!
Good review... We know you cant get over our beloved gypsy😊...
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Have seen a ton of reviews since yesterday but this by far is the best Jimny review
Thanks man
Your reviews are the best, was looking and hyped for Jimny's review from evo India for long loved it
Thank you
Evo India videos just brings a smile on my face!
Aye, and comments like this one make the team smile Thank you so much! Cheers.
Loved this video. Excellent one 👍. Just one wish remained unfulfilled - wanted to see it go up an incline, an incline like the one where you did the downhill test.
probably the best Jimny review on internet... Sirish is a legend.
Just like the Gypsy? ;)
Was a privilege sitting alongside for the SS3 at the Media Drive. Although we had to focus more on the trail over the rock beds 😂
Mazza a gya yaar I was so eagerly waiting for this review from sirish…but I think Lift kit longer coil and longer shock absorbers putting 235/75 BF Goodrich that’s all what is needed! better buy a zeta variant if it comes under 11 lakh and get the modification done and jimny is all set!
Absolutely agreeeed ❤
There's already a plan in place there!
True true
Awesome review Sirish , I had booked MT but after watching your review changed to AT. How is braking performance saw in other review that it's spongy. Earlier I booked MT as I can use gears as engine braking while driving downhill in south western ghats.
Good choice to switch to AT. Brakes seemed good on this drive
I like Shirish presentation so much no worry about like button
😂🙏🙏🙏
Great detailed review and loved the Gypsy comparison/ tribute part also. And a beautiful omega i can see as well.
Thank you!
What would you pick? The Omega or the Jimny?
@@evoIndia Hahaha... jimny looks bit affordable as of now
Good review and presentation
Thank you
Thanks!
When it comes to SUVs, no one else comes close to Sirish sir! Also, Jim haters, now please realise this isn't your average maruti!!
It definitely isn’t your average Maruti
@SirishChandran someone called you an SUV!
Jokes aside, we are more than thrilled that Maruti Suzuki is finally back to catering to the enthusiast!
@@evoIndia just realised Inglis is a phunny language 🤭😂😂
Such a good review....thank u sir
Thank you!
Good review, I own a two door here in Australia. The one thing I’d disagree with you about is the gearbox, the auto has a hard time deciding what gear to be in, almost seems like an old auto gearbox. The manual is heavier than a swift but I feel it’s the pick, plus manual has better fuel efficiency. Good work on your review mate ❤
Hey, glad to hear you liked the video Ryan!
And you have valid points there about the gearbox. However considering that the Jimny would be mostly driven in urban areas here, the AT makes more sense. The MT ofcourse is more engaging.
Reminds me of your road test articles in overdrive a long time back
Thanks!
Well done review from the perspective of an ardent Gypsy fan. Its a well built offroader that you can live with on a day to day basis. Obviously there are shortcomings in terms of space and a more powerful engine with a 6 speeds auto transmission would have done wonders; but the key point that remains to be seen is the crash performance of the shell. Hoping this is priced right.
I’m sure it’ll be priced right
I like Jimmy because of the compact size .. compact size is better for a small road especially in hilly area... ....Thar is little bit bigger for narrow and small road... JIMMY is on point 🔥🔥
True compact size will be great in the hills
Proud owner of Gypsy. Still going strong ✊✊✊
The OG!
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Excellent review Shrish,U hv done very differently & uniquely 👍
Aye, thank you! Sirish definitely brings a flair of his own to the videos!
What a great review..!!
Aye, thanks a bunch Asiel!
We hope the video was worth a like and a share!
All those petty youtubers need to watch this review and learn a lesson or two how proffessionals actually review. Good Job.
Thank you 🙏
You’re too kind 🙏
Excellent review...
Thanks!
Excellent video and an honest review.
Glad you liked it!

Is that a tachometer from Ritz in the Gypsy? If its that, it really won my heart. ❤
This channel is way way better than Autocar and many other channels
Now that’s how you do a review
Thanks 👍🏼
'Mountain Goat' from SUZUKI. isn't it?
Absolutely!
💯
became a fan of speedo cluster
Me too
@marutisuzuki should do white tops for hot climates like in India.
Good suggestion!
Air-con works well 👍🏼
Loved Sirish's enthu...great review
Thanks man

This is an insight video for buying a used Gypsy😀
Was waiting for this honest review 🎉by sirish 🤘
🙏
I started watching another review but saw evo's review thumbnail below. Less than a minute later, i am writing this comment.
Hahaha! Thank you for the love, Harikrishnan!
Amazing review. My SX4 used to do some heavy duty off roading on its own thx to that 180 mm gc minus the 4*4. Plus the build quality was supreme for such shenanigans. I can only imagine what the Jimny would do. Would it hurt to compare the SX4 with the jimny in 4*2 mode?? 😄
Hey thanks Rohit!
You people are better than others
ex pd
Thanks man
rear locker ? Thats a super light vehicle man! it doesn't need it. off-road skill matter bro
Rear locker ?? Are u talkin Abt Diffs
Dude, at one point you will get to an obstacle that needs a locker, even if you’re Hari Singh…
And on another more relevant note the locker will make it easier to deal with some tricky obstacles
Amazing.!!! Sirish sir. 😎😎
🙏🙏🙏
Quality content 🙏
Thank you Sriram!
This kinda looks like a mini hummer h3 from some angles
... and a G!
True
Super nice !
The Jimny is anyday a more practical vehicle than the iconic Maruti Gypsy.
The high quality driveline made the Gypsy so formidable. Most critical driveline components on even the last Gypsys in early 2019 were Made in Japan. The transfer case, if not abused, was bullet proof. And for what it costed OTR in late 2018, there was no other 4wd that could match it’s affordability
The Jimny can go wherever the Gypsy could in more comfort and with less backaches. Whether it can take the fearful hammering a Gypsy can, we shall soon know.
A 45-50 litre fuel tank on the Jimny would have been great. It’s not a “peoples car” and “small savings”spoil the fun.
This is called a review 👍👍
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Wish some could mod it like Gypsy on exterior. Gypsy with timeless design is so soothing for eye till date. Awesome product from Maruti, unlike Maruti. SUVs are really raining in India, thanks to our bad roads
What a well made and informative video👏
A labour of love from our entire team
Thank you!
Jimny is the OG. Gypsy , after all, was an imitation of 2nd Generation Jimny.
Current Baleno is not powered by K15B, instead it is powered by a K12 series engines. Sorry to be cheeky on such a small detail in the review, but its Sirish's review and the audience expect precise information.
Nevertheless enjoyed this detailed review. Kudos..!
@ 24:50 I see the Innova standing like the Lord :D on the same riverbed where you test Jimny...
Good spot!
Hahaha 😅😅😅😅
Sexy Review Sirish! MS Killed the 4x4 market. A new era for this segment begins!
We hope the Jimny gets the love it deserves!
Your smile was a lot wider in the Gypsy. That said it all!
Hard to not love the Gypsy!
Old cars bring out something else in me
