2019 Suzuki Jimny off-roader - The toughest small SUV
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2018
- Cars are pretty predictable these days, aren't they? A new model is launched, it’s facelifted after three years and then three or four years later it’s replaced. Simple. Well, that may be the case the for the majority of models, but there are exceptions to every rule. Today’s example is the Suzuki Jimny.
You see, the third-generation model went on sale way back in 1998, but you could still buy a brand-new example from a Suzuki dealer until very recently. We wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few unregistered examples still kicking around. Sure, it may have been tweaked here and there over the last twenty years, but it remained essentially the same car.
But now an all-new Jimny is being introduced. It still has a rudimentary ladder frame chassis, live axles front and rear and a proper low-range gearbox, but there have been an awful lot of changes.
The chassis is actually all-new and 150% stiffer than before, plus there’s new safety kit - including automatic emergency braking - and a more powerful 1.5-litre petrol engine under the bonnet. You also get hill descent control and a hill hold system to make off-roading that little bit easier.
If that wasn’t enough, top-spec SZ5 versions get a 7.0in touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring and even a built-in sat nav. All this has been designed not just to make the Jimny better than ever on the rough stuff, but also a more civilised and liveable road car.
So, the question for us is whether it can compete with conventional small SUV rivals such as the Kia Stonic and Seat Arona.
As the Jimny is shorter than the Volkswagen Up city car, space inside is a bit tight. Those sitting in the front probably won’t grumble too much, because the seats slide a long way back, but taller drivers won’t like that the steering wheel adjusts only for height and not reach.
Rear passengers certainly get plenty of head room (especially if the reclining rear seats are laid back as much as possible), but leg room is very tight if anyone tall is sitting in the front.
As for the boot, it's tiny with the rear seats up; you could squeeze a couple of school satchels in but little else. At least the rear seats fold easily enough to reveal a flat - albeit slippery - load area with a capacity of 377 litres. That's three litres less than the Volkswagen Golf can carry with all five seats raised, if you're interested.
The Jimny's dashboard is an ocean of hard black scratchy plastic. Although a little bit of the soft stuff wouldn’t have gone amiss, this is an interior that’s designed to be hardwearing above all else. That Suzuki has been able to add some funky details, such as the watch-style surrounds for the instruments, is something at least.

My favorite little truck... It's not a SUV , it's the best 4x4 ever made.
In a world of Ford Mustangs and Aston Martins...this is the vehicle that excites me. Looks as though as nails and lots of fun.
I think this is going to be a real success. People love off road vehicles like these.
I just hope Suzuki can keep the price reasonable.
Love this vehicle- this could be a massive success for Suzuki- well done!
The Mahindra Roxor is being imported to the US. It is labeled for off-road only and has virtually no emissions or safety equipment, but can be driven on public roads with a special license in a few states by adding a few parts. The Jimny looks like a much more praticle vehicle.
Jimnies are awesome little buggers. Especially on tight spots
This will go places a Land Rover wont. Reliably too.
and add to this the legendary ''built like a tank'' FJ-40 Land Cruiser!
@@philipperiopel1911 Yeah, its been a legend, here in Brazil. Local production adopted a beloved Mercedes small truck Diesel engine on its built.
JUST GOT MINE 3 DAYS AGO I LOVE IT
De donde tu eres país?
It is NOT a SUV ! The Jimny is a real offroader !
Stupid SUV means offroader. Sports utility vehicles means offroading vehicles.
Anzar Kunhi Smart aleck !
SUV does not mean offroader! SUV does not have ladder frame. Off-road cars have. You can not compare SUV like Nissan X-Trail with his off-road brother Patrol.
Anzar wake up, mommy's arrived at the soccerfield!
@@skyrider6772 suv does not have ladder frame? Check the Isuzu Mu-X and Toyota Fortuner or any other vehicles in this class(not crossovers)
Bring the Jimmy to the USA please!
Be interesting to see if they do - they got stitched up by consumer report years back and never recovered...
I can’t wait. Ordered mine in Croatia yesterday! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
Would it be called the samurai still in US market?
Jade Taylor Yeah, Id think so. It replaces the Samurai worldwide. But it’s not coming. Suzuki car division US went bankrupt.
George Cornwell samurai is such a cool car name too
Add a quick detachable sway bar for improved hiway manners and it would be perfect
The Jimny is NOT a SUV. It is a real Off-roader.
I like. I wish the top would come off or roof would open up for summer weather fun.
They really need to import the Jimny into the USA!
I really would like to buy one of these in Norway. Hopefully they'll be imported at a reasonable price.
Why dont you launch it in India? It will be the perfect replacement for the Gypsy.
Jimny keren banget asli yakin
I want it!!!!!
It look like Mini MB G class
Please Suzuki make this model also in a LWB like you did with the SJ410/SJ413 varients
👍 jimny
Will this be available in India.? and when ??
I think some credit is due to @Suzuki_ZA for using their footage.
Bring it to North America please.
Agreed North America release would be awesome. Although I think a 6 speed would a better option along with a 1.5 liter turbo. Import it, I’ll buy it 😎
Your government and big 3 monopoly doesn't allow it
Karam Singh, don’t say shit. There are millions of Japanese vehicles on the US market.
Hopefully has substantially more power than the last bit I doubt it
RJ CRIKEY 75 kw up from 62. 130 nm torque up from 110
Plz bring it to india
I hope...( we hope...) that it will be a version with 4 Doors , Soft Top...cabriolet , and one engine with 1.800cc and 130 ps ...at least. Before of the summer 2019..!! Please....
Suzuki listen to this guy.
for me a long body version at least
Has more pre orders than Ferrari lol
Jimny ist the best💪💪💪
I LOVE NEW JIMMNY 2019 MODEL
210mm = 8.26”, should of been an minimum of 12”
Stick axles and ladder frame, gear reduction. That is not an SUV.
Plus, with two kids in the backseat there'll be no room left for a soccerball in the back :P
🤩🤩🤩🤩
will this SUV hit Indian market? this machine will be very suitable in North East India roads!!!!!!!!!!
It will be great for NE especially a 5 door version.
Wo fund ih budući jamni
Kevin panmy it‘s not a SUV 😂👍
POR FAVOR NESECITAMOS ESE VEHICULO EN PUERTO RICO. YA QUE NO ESTA A LA VENTA LOS VEHICULOS SUZUKI EN LA ISLA.
LA VENTA FUE CANCELADA HACE VARIOS AÑOS.
I SUSPECT IT'S NOT SO MUCH A JIMNY, BUT MODELED ON THE FIRST VITARA,,
When India ?
LJ 80 😍
5 Doors Looks like Mini MB G Wagon
3:08 - is that a joke?!?!?
The thing is as aerodynamic as my bank...
Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 Di Turbo Your point is? Err... irrelevant, it’s an Off Roader,
Doug T That's what's ironic - why put it in a wind tunnel... Its shaped like a brick, what are they expecting?
call Samurai please
It's just a big quad bike
SELL IT TO CANADA!
Chrysler better hope and pray that Suzuki and, say Honda, don't decide to partner up and develop a true Wrangler fighter and sell it in the US and call it the "Honda Samurai".
متى تنزل السعودية ان شاء الله ناوي اشتري واحدة
نفسك انتظرها والله
الشكل القديم احسن
@@user-no6wk1nf2m وجهة نظر احترمها
نزلت باسواق السعودية وسعرها يقارب ٨٠٠٠٠ ريال / احسنت الاختيار السيارة جبارة ومظهرها رائع

Jimny's gonna replace Jeep's Renegade one day :}
Esoteric, they need more powerful engines and better gearboxes for that :)
Next version's gonna have electric motors on all wheels, and all-wheel steering to boot :]
Not really in same class of vehicles. Jeep wrangler closer competitor
How much?
starts at €17,915 (approximately $20,922), including VAT

@ 4Drive Time....what country are you referring to?

こういう小さい４WDとか、ヨーロッパで売れそうだけど、貿易障壁があって販売できなんだろうな。
