The system is not perfect, The main problem is that you lose momentum and that is crucial... But suzuki did a great job With this little one, can't wait to see accessories and suspension to make it fully a good contender
Only tires and mudflaps on this car? (If so, yeap it is pretty convincing for a stock setup!) May I also ask how the auto gearbox drives on the highway with these tires, much hunting 3rd/4th gear or not?
@@vicrundle4661 sorry about your name, didn't noticed the autocorrect had done it's magic. Hope you are not offended. Anyway thanks for replying and your video is awesome. Keep them coming.
Hi, thanks for keeping up the videos on the new Jimny. I also have one and was wondering if your drive train is a bit noise and even more so when in 4 low. Also when you are using the hill descent function do you get noise from the front area of the car? Thanks for your time and please keep the videos coming.
Great video, I think that it shows that the Jimny traction system is not that good at that type of terrain. Please, show how other cars do at the same climb, have you taped the ones behind or ahead?
A lot of tyre slipping and hardly any grip. I thought there was some kind of diff lock on this to give equal power to all wheels and to prevent wheelspin ? Im no expert on these systems, sorry.
Proper differential locks would give equal torque to wheels on the same axle. This system brakes a spinning wheel allowing torque to be transferred to the other wheel on the same axle. The system is far from perfect, but is still a lot better than open diffs.
The red mudflaps add at least 5 hp, lol.
No flex in the tyres which means they didn't deflate them hence the lack of traction.

Nice driving love the way it's finding traction when spinning weels:)

Very nice climb!! 😉
Great little 4x4, but it needs diff locks, then it will be unstoppable!!!
As is, it keeps up with everything else. Yes diff locks make a big difference, but will only be necessary on really hard trails.
Show the Rubicon footage if you have it?
Thanks for sharing this footage. Impressive, and it does look pretty steep to me. What type/brand of tires were installed, if I may ask?
The tyres are Firestone Destination A/T. Size is 215/80R15
With my previous Jimny, I had to use a fair bit more speed to get up that, even with the locker
@@vicrundle4661 was your previous one an auto or a manual? What tires/lockers/mods u had? Thanks!
@@anisbekhazi8049 previous was a 2012 manual with the same tyres, 70mm lift and lockright locker in the rear diff.
What tyres do you use ?
In this video I am using Firestone Destination A/T 215/80R15. I now have General Grabber x3 M/T's 235/75R15.
On standard bridgestone road tyres
Deflate the tyres for more grip
The tyres are at 0.7 bar.
@@vicrundle4661 ok
Victor how does it compare to the older version? I mean offroading...
The new one is definitely more capable than the model we got here in South Africa, which didn't have the traction control.

Yes on all points. Completely nornal. Noise on hill decent is the breaks machine gunning the disks 👍
What tires?
The tyres are 215/80R15 Firestone Destination A/T's

Auto or manual gear?
Auto
@@vicrundle4661
wow. so this case AT better MT?
@@KhongBinhThuong Yes, with the manual it is more difficult because the traction control needs you to give throttle input to maintain the revs.
@Billy The ones we get in South Africa definitely do not have this feature. They stall very easily.
@BillyAccording to Suzuki is definitely does not have an anti-stall function. Of course on the auto this isn't an issue.

Pneu bad
tc sucks. on this car. why cant suzuki not put lockers in
Traction control is cheap. It's just another program on the ESC, which in many countries is required by law.
The traction control is a huge improvement over open diffs.
