One sentence says it all and thanks for saying it….”It’s a purpose built off-roader that has been given rear seats for the family and not a family car that has been given off-roading capabilities”
Personally, I've loved Jimny and it's quirky design. I can live with its flaw but favor its off roading capabilities. Unfortunately, I can't see myself owning one. Hope I could rent them when I go for vacation though.
My requirement is entirely different than that of other users. I always like to sit and high stance car. I want a narrow width in the cities. I want to good viewing area when travelling. Unfortunately nobody has importance of this but I do! 😀
Superb review❤❤... The practicality and killer looks easily offsets the bit of laginess present in the engine...my reason to buy this will be - its off road capability, good room for family, unique looks, practicality and most importantly after sales support🔥🔥...will be interesting to see how M.S prices this🙏
Just ordered one. my fifth jimny! Jungle green. You do not need a turbo in this SUV NA more reliable. Too fast will cause this car to be dangerous as the suspension will not cope. It's is more fun to rev the engine more hence getting the speed close to what you get in the turbo, ( More fun to drive a slow car fast!) Just make sure your tires and brakes are adequate.
Maruti Suzuki seems to play smartly in utilising whatever resources they have especially in engine and power train and bringing about satisfactory and adequate performance out of it both in case of grand vitara and Jimmy for their off road performance and fuel efficiency.
I absolutely enjoy your reviews... and yes it answers all my questions... especially about the steering geometry (since I reside in an area which is 70% Hilly, ergo twists and turns) and also about the Automatic (that's the variant I booked)... and the icing on the cake... Size..."Coochie- Coochie" (😄👌 epic!) ... According to the Nexa showroom I've booked from confirms I'm on the 3rd Number in the list of Delivery starting from 11th June . So... very eager 😁
@@howreudoin awesome! But yeah, if possible please do get a test drive. The steering is slow but it shouldn't be an issue if you take curves at a reasonable pace. Additionally, the return-to-centre action is quicker than in any Maruti car we've ever driven - Tushar
It might have many other things but by no means its fun to drive. Drive it then realise it. Absolutely not fun to drive. Even venue is much more fun to drive the turbo engine than this one. 😂
I always loved the jimny since I saw it before 3 hears in some U.K videos they compared it with a G-wagon and it kept up ,,, I bet it will be better then the thar in terms of offroading ,,, its a stylish small suv 💙
What camera did you use to shoot the inside of the car? The dynamic range/ HDR is really crappy. I mean the brighter areas are completely blown out. I even doubted that the exterior of the car was covered with a white sheet, or was it?
It essentially is a 2nd car in your garage focused as an off-roading adventure vehicle. Short on space and missing modern amenities, with lack of power for on-road drives ; this has to be priced right due to its limitations.
Pricing is going to be the biggest determinant here. In almost every other way the Thar appears to be the better investment. This model will succeed only if they have atleast one variant below 10 lakhs. I am expecting the base variant to cost 8.99 Lakh ex-showroom
Pretty sure the lethargic acceleration is down to maruti's restrictive fuelling programming, since they're so worried about fuel efficiency. Not the lack of a turbo
Jimny is better than Thar in every way except for the safety and engine power.. Even then, the power to weight ratio is at par with the Thar... 1. Better mileage 2. Better after sales 3. Much more reliable 4. Better resale 5. Better off road capabilities than the Thar 6. World wide recognition Another point to mention, most people just purchase the Thar just for it's road presence and spend most of their time in the city.. True and Hardcore off roaders and enthusiasts will surely go for the Jimny... Thar and Gurkha killer on cards with Suzuki ❤🔥👑💥💯
Thank you for mentioning the 15 No Shoe size... It made my day .. I'm US15 too and just booked the Jimny. Also, where do you buy your shoes from? Do let me know! :-P
Is it only me who feel not okish on the Jimny!!! 😀 Haven't seen lot of overseas reviews and closely following Jimny for lot of months... especially with Indian version.. Its strictly luked as second car of family for occasional trips... But even unavailability of practical bits is what is worrying.... But a great effort by Suzuki to make it affordable to the mass segment. But again if 14 lakhs keeps me worrying ☹️
If 14L is ex showroom then it will touch 15 to 16 which i think its not worth to buy coz there so many things that have to compromise with the jimny like space is not that good enough to say a family car and i agreed with the word u mention its is not a everyone car.from my point of view it should not touch even 13L onroad
There has been a news about jimny taking a safety hit with a crash that recently happened with a pickup in Kerala. What's your take on this accident, overall safety and build quality of the vehicle?
@@zigwheels I want to know if manual transmission provided better control over the automatic. Is there any advantage other than driver engagement for Jimny? Traditionally I have not done any off-road with ATs at all so apprehensive on how it handles obstacles against a manual.
I've just done about 200 kms in heavy downpour in the Goan western ghats. It's an unbelievable comfortable experience. I have the Zeta base model. The only drawback I fast was the poor quality of headlights. I can't use extra lamps as they're illegal in Goa. Plz suggest as to how can I get more powerful head lights.and yes the pain in the butt of seat belt warning
8.99 lakh ex showroom for the base will definitely seal the deal for jimny , the SuV is based on ladder frame chassis which by the way are comparatively cheaper to manufacture as compared to other suvs . Also maruti has not added many luxurious features to it like , centre arm rest and rear ac vents . With the kind of tyres obviously smaller footprint , jimny's base Zeta MT at max should be 9.99 lac exshowroom ,if not 8.99 lac exshowroom. Anything above that , people can go for the thar as it offers better toad road presence and power figures .
Nut cracking revs would be needed in even mild offroading and overtaking due to a naturally aspirated underpowered petrol mill in jimny, hope doing that won't affect the service life span of this engine, clutch and gear box.
Does anyone know model name (like A6G415?, JB74?)? Vin range? And what about transmission? Are gear ratios and torque converter ratio the same? FInal ratio in axles same?
In India people buy a SUV not for offroading but for road presence Only a miniscule would look for functionality. This won't work here They should have launched a stripped down version of the 3 door version without all the electronic goodies, then it might possibly have a market if the price difference with the Thar was substantial, otherwise its simply a no show
It can be q good daily driver if you're living in hills or ranges where ride is more important than luxury. Still struggling to see what makes people pickup a petrol offroader over thar
This or the Grand Vitara Allgrip? Family of three. Main purpose is not having to slow down through Mumbai potholes. Secondary purpose is driving to snowy places once a year.
@@kawkaw20 well no, we'll give you the complete picture always. However, this still isn't a car for everyone. It is a niche/lifestyle product so it won't fit customer needs as universally as other cars that are available at its expected price
Driver seat adjustment is a basic ergonomic feature in suv and off roaders, could have been included..... Driver Arm rest can be fit after market .... Price is on higher side , coustomer need another 50 k to upgrade tyres ... But waiting for test drive and confused
I always wait for Tushar`s Review on Cars coz we share the same bodybuild. I have already booked the Jimny and will be amongst the first in my city atleast. But i am considering Delaying it , to see some Lift kits and wider rubber so as to see how much its stance changes. I already own a Thar 2021 and Gypsy Softtop, Really want the practicality of a 5 door vs my 3 door Thar. But want a health trade off between Stance and Practicality ( Considering my Size ) . Heart really wants to go for the Jimny for Brain says to Wait. Plus Whats with the no height adjusting driver side seat ??? Thats a big issue for People like me. Another near Deal Breaker
Honestly, even with lift kits, the Jimny won’t match the Thar for stance. It’s just very narrow. You can take a call once the Thar 5-door is out, but the wait will be a long one
Review was fantastic as usual. I was afraid that Tushar will be able to come out of the car if he gets in😂 and if he will be able to steer. In my opinion this car should not be compared with Thar at all. This looks like a grown Spresso (micro SUV😅). This will hardly get a buyer if the pricing goes above 8-9L. This will be good choice for those who are planning for Wagon R.
Why the hell will an off-roader interior feel so upmarket and premium, its supposed to be built rugged and should feel like one - its a segment specific
looking at the seating and size, Seems Maruti has under estimated the Indian buyer, made them fools after giving a 5 door touch to the 3 door version, which is available in Australia and SA.
There is a notable difference in size vs the 3 door. An additional crossmember has been added with the ladder-frame’s extension as well. Considering the Jimny 3 door is smaller than even the Ignis, the 5-door was never going to be a very large car
@@zigwheelsthat's true! It is also true that Maruti's target is the second car buyer and young audience. But based on the given hype, our extreme and enthusiastic SUV fans, will now rethink. I expected the jimny to be at least the size of Honda BRV in boxy avatar
Why cant companies make the right car? Looks are good here but why no lumber support, bottle space, premium interior wd ventilated seats? Whats the issue wd car companies?
How did ZigWheels missed to use another presenter especially for the review as awaited as of the Jimny! It messed up the true perspective of the car knowing the fact about big frame of the presenter. It happened involuntarily!
The Director of Suzuki who thinks he's a famous top gun pilot thinks this is a some type of g-wagon, delusional. Explains the unbelievable and ridiculous decision re. that rear seat belt alarm.Clearly Mr Top Gun won't be driving one himself.
If MSIL anyway wanted to position this as a 'premium' & niche product, not expecting much sales; why go through such a long & tedious process of design & engineering over the past few years to develop the 5-D, why not just sell the 3-D as is & price it slightly lower? And if they've now made the 5-D, then why aren't they offering a lower priced 2WD variant & selling more of them? Another one being the fact that it's under 4m in length but they only offer the 1.5L engine, they could've atleast given the option of the 1.2L & the 1L turbo. (Ditto for the Brezza) Just offer all these, milk the product as much as you can, sell it like hot-cakes & earn more moolah; It's a win-win situation for both the consumer & Maruti, them not doing so confuses me to no end! In my ideal world, (one can always dream!) they should've had the following variants & engines on offer for 3-D as well as 5-D: 1L turbo 1.2L 1L turbo, without 4x4 1.2L, without 4x4 Also the Kei-car version spec (no flared wheel arches) for the people who will use it on narrow city roads) And yes I know making so many different combinations isn't feasible for a manufacturer
Among the good things Jimny gets is a full metal roof which should be a boon when weather goes bad. TBH I have never been a fan of petrol offroaders, especially small engined ones. You need to rev the nuts off the engine. and with NA petrol the lack of torque will be very evident especially if you are offroading when overlanding, that additional load may prove to be a hassle. But I think I like the Jimny but no I wont buy one cuz the company will ask money and I simply don't have it ( I am Gurkha fanboy, is it better? Doesnt matter to me, I love it and no I don't have money for it either) 😂 Couple of things I wish Jimny did better, usable door pocket, atleast big enough to hold a small water bottle. May better door handles with better integrated request sensors and door locks, vertical grab handles at all doors. Does it get BLD? I know it has a ridiculous market of after market parts available, but a locker from factory would have been great. the main question remains, the price. I just hope MS doesnt mess it up. Also, Jimny doesnt get weight sensors is cuz MS would have had to re-engineer Jimny ground up right? Right?
Yep, it does get BLD. The seatbelt weight sensor thing just seems like strange cost cutting. It’s also expected to make its way into other existing Marutis
@zigwheels... Brother You speak too fast it's pretty hard to focus either in video or to keep up with your words can you please lower the speed of your speech by little percentage please sir.
Tushar.. you are so heavy.. go to gym and then do the interior review. You will like it too... I said cause i have seen more than 10 reviews today .. everyone told seating is good.
Even without a giant person in frame with jimny, it looks so puny. If it's priced near to thar then it will still be useless choice considering the useless rear seats.
Seriously.. "Makes sense, if you want to buy your son/daughter his first car" What percentage of the Indian population actually does that? That was the lamest reason to justify its size and pricing.
One sentence says it all and thanks for saying it….”It’s a purpose built off-roader that has been given rear seats for the family and not a family car that has been given off-roading capabilities”

@@zigwheels Pls suggest Family car at affordable range mostly safe, reliable comfortable, not fast, slow, 80-90kph crusing

Greetings from South Africa. Nice review. I considered one of these but then I arrived at the dealer to see if costs half a million bucks over here.
What camera did you use to shoot the inside of the car? The dynamic range/ HDR is really crappy. I mean the brighter areas are completely blown out. I even doubted that the exterior of the car was covered with a white sheet, or was it?
The interior b roll? Provided by Maruti Suzuki prior to the drive. Yes, lot of burn. The car was covered in a white sheet
@@zigwheels oh ok..thanks for the reply.
I would buy a 3 door in a heartbeat. Thar has that market fully !
You guys should hire BigShow as a reviewer. He and Tushar will make a good combo.

We do expect the pricing to sit below the Thar. They've certainly saved cost with the 4-speed AT and skipping on a turbo engine

G'day from Australia. I need to know how tall you are big fella
8.99 lakh ex showroom for the base will definitely seal the deal for jimny , the SuV is based on ladder frame chassis which by the way are comparatively cheaper to manufacture as compared to other suvs . Also maruti has not added many luxurious features to it like , centre arm rest and rear ac vents . With the kind of tyres obviously smaller footprint , jimny's base Zeta MT at max should be 9.99 lac exshowroom ,if not 8.99 lac exshowroom. Anything above that , people can go for the thar as it offers better toad road presence and power figures .
Nut cracking revs would be needed in even mild offroading and overtaking due to a naturally aspirated underpowered petrol mill in jimny, hope doing that won't affect the service life span of this engine, clutch and gear box.
Does anyone know model name (like A6G415?, JB74?)? Vin range?
And what about transmission? Are gear ratios and torque converter ratio the same? FInal ratio in axles same?
I'm hoping for a Jimny 3 door Sierra in India...
Great review. But nahi chahiye. Anything under 4* safety rating is a death trap.
Fair enough, thanks for watching!
Jimny looks totally funny to me, I would say Tushar can easily lift and put it aside with his two hands,
Hahaha, key word being it “looks” like it can be lifted. 1200kg is still plenty heavy🤣
In India people buy a SUV not for offroading but for road presence
Only a miniscule would look for functionality.
This won't work here
They should have launched a stripped down version of the 3 door version without all the electronic goodies, then it might possibly have a market if the price difference with the Thar was substantial, otherwise its simply a no show

Among the good things Jimny gets is a full metal roof which should be a boon when weather goes bad. TBH I have never been a fan of petrol offroaders, especially small engined ones. You need to rev the nuts off the engine. and with NA petrol the lack of torque will be very evident especially if you are offroading when overlanding, that additional load may prove to be a hassle. But I think I like the Jimny but no I wont buy one cuz the company will ask money and I simply don't have it ( I am Gurkha fanboy, is it better? Doesnt matter to me, I love it and no I don't have money for it either) 😂
Couple of things I wish Jimny did better, usable door pocket, atleast big enough to hold a small water bottle. May better door handles with better integrated request sensors and door locks, vertical grab handles at all doors. Does it get BLD? I know it has a ridiculous market of after market parts available, but a locker from factory would have been great.
the main question remains, the price. I just hope MS doesnt mess it up.
Also, Jimny doesnt get weight sensors is cuz MS would have had to re-engineer Jimny ground up right? Right?
Yep, it does get BLD. The seatbelt weight sensor thing just seems like strange cost cutting. It’s also expected to make its way into other existing Marutis
Tushar rocks

The way you out your hand on top Jimmy seems to be a toy car
Tushar.. you are so heavy.. go to gym and then do the interior review. You will like it too... I said cause i have seen more than 10 reviews today .. everyone told seating is good.
When did we say the seating is bad?
Is your height 7 ft ? Why is this car looking so small ?
6.5ft
Now make a 4 door ute 😬
Even without a giant person in frame with jimny, it looks so puny. If it's priced near to thar then it will still be useless choice considering the useless rear seats.
The pricing should undercut the Thar
Not an honest review.. sorry!!!
Seriously.. "Makes sense, if you want to buy your son/daughter his first car"
What percentage of the Indian population actually does that?
That was the lamest reason to justify its size and pricing.
