Thanks for a great video. Suzuki is no longer selling here in the US, and I'd enjoy having a Jimny. I'll have to settle for my 2004 Vitara V6 5 speed 4x4. Suzuki builds a great vehicle, I love the off road capability in my Vitara. Great cars and loved the video you made.
It sounds like a Diesel truck at least when you take it off the beaten path but I am quite impressed with how you demonstrated its off road credentials. Don't you think its suspension set yo would be too firm on the road albeit it performs exceptionally on the desert? For most buyers, this would deter them from purchasing one as it is not a family car and the wallowy ride around the corners further steals from its charm. However, those looking for a second car and adventure seeking buyers might consider it as one of their serious considerations.
My partner and I ordered an Auto because she can't drive manual, but after test driving both, the manual was so much better to drive and she wants to learn manual while we change our order.
Jimny use abs for increase offroad capability as it don't have LSD on its differential (it using open diff). Probably its why suzuki don't give true stability control off.
No, the standard comes without the screen. Also standard is Bluetooth. I went on RUclips to see whether the screen was a better option but it seems that it's best to not get it
my first car is a 2009 jimny. Only reason i sold it coz of my family ( hate it to the core) as it was my only means of transportation. Which means space is a big problem...!! I dont get it why suzuki not considering a 4 door version??!!?? Yes it is a good 2nd or 3rd option car. In fact a good weekender...
fristly...i like ur video but u dont need low range in sand. u shld use high range and leave the low range for rocks or steep falls. .... traction control shld not interete when off in sand thats so annoying like in pajeros! .....but great to have this traction control on rocks as there is no rear diff lock....so traction control will defintiely help there and would be enough for this light wieght car i guess.
Definitely don't need low range in sand - but traction control is too intrusive in Hi Range. The ideal solution would be some sort of system to disable traction control completely. Thanks for watching!
For some reason all the Jimny's I have seen online for sale have a basic entertainment unit I'm UAE. Do you know why there's a difference? The car you are testing is it from Suzuki?
@@MotoringMiddleEast that'll be a shame if it never goes on sale like that. As I have seen it on Jimny that have been tested in Australia. You wouldn't know by any chance when they will be getting it back on stock would you? Seen it on Dubizzle for 80k to 100k for the manual version which is just crazy!!
Good to see you really giving it the beans in the sand! Great video mate, makes me want to travel to Dubai!
Thanks for watching and more importantly, ENJOYING it!
6:37 "with the OH SHIT handle" lmfaoooo im dying 😭😭😭💀💀💀

Aww thanks how every nice of you to say! The Vitara and the Jimny aren't hugely different, honestly.
In addition to a proper ABS/Traction/Stability disconnect, please can Suzuki add a manual shifting option on the autobox? It would help when off-road.
The auto works fine actually - it locks in either 1 or 2 which is all you need offroad
In Europe this comes with a touchscreen by Suzuki (not some Chinese company), push button start, cruise control and auto climate control
Sadly, we're not in Europe!
I wouldn't want any of that shit. Manual everything.
Thanks for showing up Jimny...impressive on sand, can you also take it to a rocky terrain to test its capabilities!
We don't get a lot of rocks - and what we do isn't hugely interesting to watch

Very good review. I drive a f-150 raptor but I’m sure this thing is just as more fun in desert
Er no the Raptor is way more fun in the desert!
My partner and I ordered an Auto because she can't drive manual, but after test driving both, the manual was so much better to drive and she wants to learn manual while we change our order.
This is the best kind of story - glad to hear it!
Great review bro
If one or two wheel diagonaly off the road it using abs for kicking torque to other wheel.
I am sure there is hack for the ABS/Traction control....ABS fuse, or perhaps a switch to kill the connection on the speedo sensor
The dealer will fit one if asked.
Jimny use abs for increase offroad capability as it don't have LSD on its differential (it using open diff). Probably its why suzuki don't give true stability control off.
It's not a good idea in the sand.
Thank You :)
please review Nissan Xterria 2021 (mainly off road capasbilities)
It has no off road capabilities, just a shopping car Nissan Is dead ruined thr Xterira and pathfinder aka mall finder
Where is the cruise control bottom?
There isn't one - GCC spec cars don't seem to have it :(
Budget version, no climate control either
The desert is taking back the road ...
wow amazing
Price in use?
This model should have cruise control on the steering wheel and the screen is all different too...
UAE-spec model
@@MotoringMiddleEast ok
Nice 👍🏾 about wind noise even Mercedes G have wind noise 😁
Diesel model jimny available in Dubai
Is that android tablet a part of the standard equipment? No Suzuki cars get that infotainment system but a basic 2 DIN system.
Optional equipment, I believe.

A stretch Jimny wouldn't be a kei car and receive tax benefits in Japan

The car you are testing is it from Suzuki?
This one had a prototype system they were testing - not sure if it actually ever went on sale.
@@MotoringMiddleEast that'll be a shame if it never goes on sale like that. As I have seen it on Jimny that have been tested in Australia.

It should be widely available in stock now in the UAE according to the last update Suzuki had for me - check with the showroom.
@@MotoringMiddleEast just called them and they said it'll take 6 months.
OK so much for that then! :(
So 67k in UAE and 84k here in KSA .Damn
salferaih1984 may be tax issues ?
What location is this?
Qudra.
@@MotoringMiddleEast thanks
Kaztro vinte uaz
The auto gearbox in this is atrocious. Manual all the way.
actually wasn't that bad in the sand
mine is in auto, i put in 2L 4x4,, it can crawl in any obstacles you throw in.
You need a mic.
I know!
this is a shitty spec that we dont get in europe actually, no cruise, no heated seats and that android tablet? must be middle east?
You gotta clean your car dude!!!!
It's not mine LOL
Most boring review ever watched!
Glad you didn't enjoy it!
I’ll buy you a pocari
We still need one!
Don't drive that fast in low gear !
Why? Nothing will happen to it.
@@MotoringMiddleEast are you sure ? Doesn't sound like it
You can now buy your FLAG BRACKET!! for Suzuki Jimny on www.deserttrex.com
