2019 Suzuki Jimny Off Road Capabilities

Everything surrounding the driver and front passenger is built for professional use. Crafted for carefree dependability, the instrument panel and surrounding parts have a scratch and stain-resistant grained finish, and the grip and switches are easy to operate so that it can be handled in off-road conditions as well as while wearing gloves. The meters set in cubic housings are always lit up for clear viewing on and off-road, when the vehicle often passes between sunlit and shaded areas. For intuitive operation of the audio system, a Bluetooth®-compatible Smartphone Linkage Display Audio unit with a 7-inch infrared touchscreen is equipped on higher grades.
Luggage Space
The rear luggage space can be expanded by folding the rear seats, creating a 377 litre*1 luggage space which is 53 litres larger than its predecessor. Flat all the way across, the quarter trims and seats have been carefully designed to increase storage width, and the backs of the rear seats and luggage room floor are coated with plastic*2 for easy dirt/stain removal. Five utility screw holes are available on each side under the quarter windows along with four luggage hook screw holes around the floor area for flexible usage of the luggage space.
*1 Measured without luggage box using the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) method. All figures are manufacturer data. *2 Availability depends on vehicle configuration
Uncompromising performance
Authentic off-roaders must be tough enough to handle the harshest conditions. From its ladder frame structure to its 1.5-litre engine, the all-new Jimny is built for rough-road adventures. But on-road ability was not compromised, with the higher torsional rigidity of the ladder frame providing a more comfortable and solid ride on the road, and newly equipped steering damper on the front suspension minimising steering wheel vibration and kickback. Whether navigating the urban jungle or exploring off the beaten track, the Jimny is sure to satisfy adventurous minds.
Off-road capability
The Jimny incorporates the four essentials for serious off-roading - a ladder frame, the three angles, 3-link rigid axle suspension with coil spring and part-time 4WD with low range transfer gear. Designed for professionals, it features ALLGRIP PRO*.
*ALLGRIP PRO is Suzuki’s 4WD system designed for high off-road ability.
The ladder frame structure provides a solid base for suspension components when driving off-road and also helps protect the vehicle body even on bumpy surfaces. For the all-new Jimny, a new “x-member” and two additional cross members have been added for further reinforcement and increased torsional rigidity.
The ample approach angle of 37 degrees, ramp breakover angle of 28 degrees and departure angle of 49 degrees allow the Jimny to climb over obstacles and steep hills without scraping its bumpers or underbody.
Rigid axle suspensions thrive in bumpy off-road driving. When one tyre is pushed upward by an obstacle, the connected tyre on the other side is pressed downward, giving superior grip on uneven terrain. The Jimny equips the rigid axle suspension on both the front and rear, allowing it to travel even on rough roads.
The Jimny features a part-time 4WD system with low range transfer gear, which can be easily switched from 2H (2WD-high gear), 4H (4WD-high gear) and 4L (4WD-low gear) modes by a shift lever directly connected to the transfer gear. Compared to the 4H mode, the 4L mode can transfer more torque to the tyres while in lower gears, for better traction on steep slopes and rough terrain.
When two wheels diagonal from each other lose traction, the Jimny’s brake LSD traction control automatically brake the slipping wheels to redistribute torque to the other side and allow the vehicle to gain traction. This system allows the Jimny to escape slippery surfaces as well as bumpy rough roads that vary on the right and left sides.
1.5-litre engine
The former 1.3-litre engine is replaced by a 1.5-litre engine in the all-new Jimny. It delivers stronger torque at all rpm than its predecessor, with ample torque at low revolutions enhancing driving performance especially while driving off-road, where low revolution is often needed. Despite the increased displacement, it has smaller overall dimensions than the engine it replaces, with 15% reduced weight, contributing to enhanced fuel efficiency.
5-speed manual transmission and 4-speed automatic transmission
The 5-speed manual transmission has optimised gear ratios for the new engine and also offers better fuel efficiency. The shift lever has been redesigned to reduce vibration, and also provides a more solid and direct feeling when changing gears. The 4-speed automatic transmission has also been redesigned to offer less friction and better fuel economy. The shift pattern has been changed from the former gate type to the straight type to simplify operation.

I can't believe there isn't a market for them here. Out here in BC there's still a billion sidekick/trackers floating around. Plus I never fail to get a compliment about my samurai no matter how rusty it is. This is litterally the only vehicle I would buy new.

[@nickfrechette19]

My parents have a 04 tracker and it's really impressed me with it capabilities 👌

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

Jeep out marketed them, after bullying and lobbying against them, apparently. Consumer Reports made them look bad. Too bad. I’d buy a new Jimny in a heartbeat! Almost had an SJ410 pickup last fall, but was beat to it. Yellow, bull bar and no rust! Still quite a few zooks here in Yellowknife.

[@manzanaresantonio]

To those that have never seen one of these giant-killers offroad, let start by telling you that when I first bought mine, it was a completely stock Samurai. I took that car for a ride on its stock street tires and it did amazing offroad, to the point that I was really shocked about what others alwayd told me about the Samurai. Then it was modified with front and rear lockers, 4.88 gears front an rear , raise the suspension by 6 inches and had 33-inch Super Swamper TSL tires and that thing was unstoppable. Sometimes I used to drive it with just the rear wheels to have some challenge on the trail. I saw big trucks, Toyotas and Nissans stuck , I would pull them out and just to get my Suzuki Samurai stuck in the mud, I would drive it trough the same hole and it was barely a challenge. The secret is its light weight and short wheel base.

Too big, too heavy, too wide! Give me a Suzuki any day, they're amazingly capable off-road, unstoppable and stubborn climbing rocks like a mountain goat! Eats mud by the cubic metre, takes water to the dashboard and beyond! Like I said, I couldn't kill my 80, and am so happy I now live in a place without a bunch of namby-pamby legislators telling me what I need for 'safety' or whatever!

They are far more capable than many would think. In the Third World, what these 'little' Suzukis accomplish is nothing short of amazing. With a 1600CC engine?

Very nice video. In this modern world there is a stupid trend of pseudo 4x4s like qashqais, tiguans, jukes, kugas bla bla bla... and now when the real 4x4s are an endangered species, is real good news that somebody like Suzuki is recorvering the sense and making a real good rig like this. Jump in sight that it's built with tough parts, thought for hard work, with very good approach, breakover and departure angles and these square shape design that are undouted identity signs of a real 4x4. I am a Jeep fan and owner but this vehicle is a serious contender of the Jeep Renegade in off road capabiliteis only, obviously

So like a tiny Jeep Wrangler Truck? That's too cool to exist, admit it. Companies don't want to make anything risky that's excessively awesome, come on now! Stupid sarcasm aside, I could see a massive market for this Jimmies in places like Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam - perfect for islands. Low HP/Torque isn't an issue usually on islands, although I would be curious to see what this little bugger could do at 10-14k feet elevation in Colorado.
