5 Door Jimny XL vs 3 Door Jimny vs Gen 3 Jimny gravel road day trip. Is Bigger Better? Part 2
Просмотров 9 тыс.7 месяцев назад
We take 3 generations of the awesome Suzuki Jimny on a gravel road scenic drive and compare the models. We also have 4 different drivers (two lady drivers as well) give them a go and give feedback. Our route took us through the Vreedefort Dome area and over the Schoemansdrif low-level bridge near in Parys (Freestate). In this Video we take a look at what the Jimnys feel like when driven back to...
We give the new Suzuki Jimny 5 Door (Jimny XL) a 4x4 workout and compare it to the 3 Door : Part 1

We have some fun in the sun with a Suzuki Jimny 5 door and 3 Door. In this video we take them off road to test the 4x4 ability and compare it to the 3 door legend. We also find (to our surprise!!) how much better the automatic gearbox is on the JB74 than we thought. Tough 4x4 tracks with steep incline and declines at Hobby Park 4x4 in the West Rand was our testing ground and the Jimny's both de...

This is the launch of our new channel and our first review is the mighty INEOS Grenadier Trialmaster Edition 3.0L Turbo Petrol. Starting at Vaalplasie we give it a walk around, chat to the owner and then give it a beat down (4x4 action starts at 18m30) at our favorite local 4x4 track (Berakah Eco Trails). If You are in the market for a new Land Rover Defender or Toyota Land Cruiser 300 I sugges...
Great video examing the capabilities of the Grenadier. I recommend to allow hearing the voiceover more easily to lower the background music a lot or to remove it altogether. As it is it detracts from the video a lot.
Can't believe this channel has 500+ subs. This deserves more subs. Thanks much for sharing. Subscribed!
Lovely looking coutnryside. Where are you guys? South Africa?
Is daardie karretjie op die dash soos die nawel se klein lemoentjie? 😉
The gen 4 is quieter than the gen 3 in your video. I brought the five door Jimny.
Both are amazing vehicles in heir own right. Just bought the 3 door as to me I feel it has more charm.
This is really an evolutionary comparison
Thank You!!
waiting for the pickup and 5 door in brazil!!!!
😁👍👋
Considering the Jimney down in La Paz, Baja California Sur. Everyone here has really agressive all terrain tires in this sandy beach terrain, while I noticed that your vehicles had something more like normal road tires. I am new to 4 wheeling and wanted to know if the tires are that important and why don't you need more beefy tires? Dave
The five door has the stock "Grand Track" tires on but my 3 door has some General Grabbers on. There are more aggressive and sizes out but to be honest, the little Jimny does not need it. Any 215 section All Terrain tire will do nicely!!
Lekker man! Love die vibe, die Aaron's se lyne, en die market lyk mal!
Market is EPIC, julle moet kom draai maak!
Looks like a fun market, would like to go next time
It has got endless stuff to see, really awesome!!
snazy!! 008
All the way snazz!
Loved 5 door Jimny. Cool. Also check 5 door Force Gurkha from India. A budget Mercedes G wagon.
Turn off the music....but great video!
The auto might be better off road but on road its pedestrian compared the the 5 speed and the auto robs the car of any fun or flexibility and kills the speed and these car are not fast also the fuel consumption is poor on the auto .
We did a couple of stand still full-bore acceleration runs from 0-120kph and I was seriously surprised to see that there is zero performance difference between the auto and manual............The fuel consumption on the two vehicles (same roads, same loads) was less than 0.3L/100km different after our test runs so Yes, fuel consumption is better on the Auto but not so much that I would not buy it.
How do u keep the spare😮 fom getting stolen
Lock nuts are a MUST!!! And pretty much don't park it where You can't see it.......
Your very first graphics are incorrect. It’s called a Trialmaster NOT a Trailmaster 🙄 That is NOT a 950Ah battery. No way. It’s got a 950A max current draw (would be CCA). It’s 105Ah. Can’t turn the fan down by just turning the fan down - have to turn off auto first. Lame. I notice no indicating while passing the tractor. And not wearing a seatbelt at one point too. A lift does not increase the ground clearance on a solid axle vehicle even 1mm. It only improves the approach and departure angles, and may improve the rampover angle. The diff pumpkins limit the ground clearance so only larger tyres/wheels will improve this. You CAN deactivate the diff locks without driving around (they unlock) but the system can’t detect it and turn off the light without driving around so the they can unlock but you can’t activate HDC until the system can detect they are unlocked. That’s the problem.
I’ve had two Gen3 autos and now a Gen4 manual. I agree that the auto is better off-road but the manual is very close as good. Engage LR 1st gear and let it idle/walk across the obstacles, regulate the 5-10 km/h speed with by braking.
I was a little skeptical about the AUTO five door compared to the manual five door in terms of fuel consumption and performance especially in off road scenarios but now I can confidently go for the AUTO. Thanks so much guys for making this comparison video between three jimnys and also for the initial off road video between the 3 door and 5 door 4th generation JB74. Impressive video❤
Glad that it helped You decide!! We really stand by our review that the 5 door Auto is the one to get! Enjoy all the many adventures You are going to have in Your new Jimny!!
If only they had equipped a more powerful engine on that 5 door
Fully loaded it might struggle a bit but with light loads and everyday use the little 1.5L is more than enough for us.
Tengo una pregunta el Motor es japonés? Gracias
The Suzuki Jimny is Japanese, but some production has moved to India. Here in South Africa, we get the unit assembled in India with early models originating from Japan.
I have the 5 door MT…I was kind of in doubt of the manual transmission softness or effort I would have to do…however, to my surprise…this MT is very smooth. Also, if you don’t have to commute too much…the Manual has better performance on road and less noise on highways ( for what I have heard). Also since this MT has the cruise control, it is less effort on highways. Good review folks.
Thanx for the comment!! We did a test from 0-120kph I was really surprised that there was nothing in it in terms of straight-line performance, it was a dead heat. On the highway the AT has a slightly longer final drive which is much less buzzy at 120kph than the manual. I own the manual three door in the vid and If I could go back in time knowing what I know now, we would have opted for an Auto.
даже в африке есть пятидверный джимни, а у нас теперь вообще никакого нет
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Check out Part 1, where we pit the 5-door and 3-door Jimny against an off-road trail: ruclips.net/video/M_9cEjVQzSg/видео.html
Check out Part 2 of our Jimny adventure, where we take the 2 Jimnys on a family outing with a Gen 3 Jimny on a scenic gravel road day trip. ruclips.net/video/xoTxazz9DTQ/видео.html
The Jimny's low range transfer gear is too high, in the manual, low 1st just doesn't give a slow enough descent on engine breaking and on a slippery surface you can't touch the brakes or you risk losing control, hill descent control doesn't seem to make much difference, a small turbo diesel should have been fitted, it would transform the Jimny offroad. Luckily there are transfer gear options available including one that only alters low range (approx 75% lower) which would make a big difference to the Jimny.
Some good commenting there! Fig and I both discussed this and although the Gen 4 is much better than the Gen 3 it still suffers a bit from speeding in low range.
You guys are spot on I also own the 5 door auto I sold my lc 200 last year it had way too many problems I'm a Suzuki convert believe me the auto is simply remarkable touch the O D switch and the little 1500 engine turns into a little demon it will keep the revs all the way to 6000 before it shifts to 3rd it really does go and yes it does 130 on the highway so easy
Awesome!! Welcome to the Jimny family! Yes, the auto box was a real show stopper for us. Its FAR better than we thought it was going to be!
Awesome video! I have just bought a 5 Door Auto, originally wanted a 3 Door. But after test driving the 5 door it was clearly the better all rounder although I still think the 3 door looks fantastic and I do miss the super tight turning circle of the 3 door. Overall I am extremely happy with my 5 door and for me Auto is definitely the way to go 🙂.
Thanx!! Welcome to the Jimny family. The 3 door wins the parking battle with that tight turning circle but the 5 door is a better all round package. Have You seen the 4x4 comparison we did?
Thanks for your advice I’m definitely keen on the 5 door might have to go and give one a test drive and see for myself
Awesome!!! Go drive the 3 door first and then hop in the 5 door, You will notice the difference immediately! Welcome to the channel!
@@TheMotoringShow-ly5yi thanks for that information that sounds awesome idea
awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it!!!!!
One of the best offroad reviews. Was waiting for some Africaans to drive it and tell us what they think about it. Love your offraod track / test ground. Has some very realistic features.
Thank You very much!! Berakha certainly is a fantastic testing ground, at some point we will go do the top loop and film it, but that is as serious as it gets!!! Welcome to the channel!
Just got my five door GLX manual - 215/75R15 AT5 on the way.
Congratulations!! That tire mod is GREAT!!! Wishing You many happy miles!!!!
3 Doors the real story since Samurai 😍
5 doors sucks and looks damn ugly while 3 doors looks awesome and performs better
An rxpensive little vehicle thays not worth it Buy sonething with more power and space at the same price This little car is too expensive for its size nd power
What proper 4x4 can you buy for the price? This is not a hatchback, it has a dual ratio transfer case and solid axles front and rear. And it's half the price of the next similarly configured 4x4. What do you want? The Jimny has adequate power for off road and freeway driving. If you want a pocket rocket this is not the car for you.
@@TheMotoringShow-ly5yi Well said. People who think it's overpriced simply don't understand the specifications of this vehicle.
😂😂😂😂😂jealous
3 Door= Made In Japan 5 Door= Made In India
Our local supply (3 and 5 door) all comes from the India factory.
Doesn't really matter where they build it. As long as it's built to Suzuki's quality control standards.
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
Pleasure!! Welcome to the channel, Part 2 will be up shortly!
Nice video fellas, one question? Is there any possible way to get the rear seat back flat when folded? Can the seat bottom cushion be removed too allow the seatback go flat, or is the seatback hinged to the seat cushion frame?
The 3 door folds to a flat deck but the 5 door is hinged in position. I am assuming that the aftermarket boffins will soon have some sort of solution for this.
Nice video guys But the music is hella weird
LOL, Jip, on our journey with this channel we have found that you very quickly burn through all the nice free RUclips music......... we are in the process of finding some better royalty free options. Thanx for the feedback!!
What is the 3 door's tyres? Brand and model?
General Grabbers (local South African Brand) size is 215/75, it works great! Adds significant on road stability as well as off road traction. The tires also have a much higher weight rating, so they are resilient to punctures.
@@TheMotoringShow-ly5yi thank you!
Thanks so much for this video comparison. A must watch video for those thinking of choosing between auto or manual jimny. Would be awesome if do a video like this but only with a manual five door and auto five door
Thanx for the feedback! We might re visit the 5 door in the future and keep that in mind.
I got my new 5 door Xl Jimny today in a white manual car, home in Australia. I got excited just watching you guys have fun. Such capable little beasts.
Congratulations!!!! Wishing You many happy miles!! They sure are capable!! As a first hop up I can suggest a set of 215/75 A/T tires. It improves off-road ability and street cred at a low cost point.
Great terrain you have there! good video but I have to strongly disagree with the auto vs manual opinion. In the UK 80% of people drive manuals and it used to be almost everyone. A manual is always better off road. That manual can go as slow if not slower than the auto in low range 1st with good clutch control than the auto can. It's down to driver skill and preference. The last thing I want when off road is a car telling me when to change gear. I want to be fully in control of that! However, for the someone who is used to an auto in general than the last thing you want to do when heading off road for the first time is add the clutch in to the equation. Also on road, which is where the car will spend more of its time even for the keen off roader. You need that 5th gear. In 5th gear at 100kpm or 62mph the engine is revving at almost 4000rpm. That is going to be a nightmare in a 4 seeped auto. The 3 door is underpowered. It's disappointing imho that they have not given the 5 door more power. When you do your on road test I would be interested to see the 5 door fully loaded with passengers and luggage on a 100kpm road for a long drive compered to the 3 door. Which is already not good by the way even with a 5 speed and less weight. I think Suzuki had a great opportunity to make the 5 door a fantastic opinion and they have failed. I know it's personal to everyone and their driving ability, where they live there use case etc.. but for me the 5 door and the auto is just not an option.
That's why you get the manual and auto option, so you can choose what works for you. I wondered why anyone would want an auto box off road until I got my first 4x4 with an auto box. After that I was sold. Yes, I can do the same things off road in a manual, but the slippage from a torque converter gives fine control at very slow speeds that you can't get in a manual unless you slip the clutch, which won't end well. Also, you don't need paddle shifters to override an auto box, just select the gear you want on the shifter and the auto box does as it's told! It might shift down in need, but it won't shift up. Most 5-door Jimnys in South Africa will work as Mom's taxis, in which case, why not choose an auto? If I were to buy one, having driven both manual and auto, off and on road, I'd lean more towards the auto.
@@ChristianFigenschou Its a fair point. The auto I have driven off road was not a Jimny and a much older box which I personally did not like. However, I'm sure the new Defender for example would be a dream to drive off road and they don't give you a manual option. Each to there own.. I mostly deal with mud here and an auto can do strange things when slipping about trying to keep momentum!
In Australia the disco1 came with an automatic in 94, once they were in the population and people experienced for themselves and saw how good they were off road, all the brands soon followed. Auto diesel 4x4 leaves a manual one for dead.
How many kilometers are you giving them in daily use? Way? How much gasoline does it consume versus the 3-door one?
On our test we did this 4x4 track, around 250km highway and additional 80km of gravel road. Both 3 and 5 door traveled the same roads with different drivers and the 3 door manual returned its usual 7.6L/100km and the 5 door Auto was only marginally heavier at 7.8L/100km. We do go into more detail in the next vid about those figures.
Thanks guys. Great video
Thank You!!! Welcome to The Motoring Show!
I live in the US, so I will never have a Jimny that isn't 30 years old at this point. But, isn't there a price difference between auto and manual? Seems like it would be just as expensive to buy lower transfer box gearing for the manual, if you like to change gears yourself. Autos are almost always better than manuals nowadays, but manuals are more fun.
Greetings!! Yes, the Auto is marginally more expensive, but after driving them back-to-back both of us agreed that the Auto is just better. Remember that I personally own the grey manual 3 door in the video, so I really wanted the manual to be better. I've also priced a set of aftermarket reduction gears for the manual, and it costs nearly as much as the entire car to import. My next one will be an auto for sure! Welcome to the channel and look out for part 2, it's in edit right now and should be out soon. It delves a bit deeper into both of these cars driving impressions on longer drives.
5 Door Great driving experience india
We definitely agree!!! Welcome to the channel!!
Awesome 4x4!
We had a great time in them on that track!!
