last weekend i tested my 2020 jimny with all terrain tyres and 2 inch lift against a land cruiser and a prado and the jimny out performed both of them on a particularly difficult track here in australia , the jimny really is ridiculously capable !!!!!!!

yep, i found that weird, because the option was there for the old jimny, internal switch you flipped. And you can have manual wheel caps that makes them lock. I would like them to rlly make the Electric jimny they made a concept for.
@RoadRunnerLaser
@RoadRunnerLaser 6 жыл бұрын
ferkeap - The manual wheel caps weren't to lock the diffs unless I am very much mistaken. The wheel-caps were to engage the front shafts. With the hubs unlocked, the wheels freewheel rather than driving the shafts when in 2WD mode, thereby reducing wear and improving fuel-economy. Suzuki maintained this approach until the Grand Vitara which ended up having a pneumatic dog-clutch to do that job (meaning that you did not need to get out of the vehicle to engage 4WD). The 2004 (if I recall) was the last one which had part-time 4WD and from then, the Grand Vitara went rapidly downhill and became an AWD piece of crap with that shitty torque-vectoring nonsense.

Put an auto-locking or e-locker diff in the back and that’d be all you need. Any time either of the front two start to spin, the brake vectoring will compensate for it and away you go.

Put the KL in the trash can where it belongs, redo the Cherokee in the same spirit of the *original XJ*, and I will buy. As for the review, firstly it's all about picking the best line for the vehicle. Secondly, the Jimny crushes the Cruiser in the looks department.

civertron Don’t get emotional about it boy. And I know exactly what Im talking about. An all terrain vehicle is a ATV, which is for off-road and off-road only. They are illegal on public roads. Example would be a Polaris General. SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle. This type of vehicle is meant for public roads but are also off-road capable. They are traditionally body on frame, and equipped with 4x4 transfer cases. Usually these transfer cases have 4-lo gearing but not always. Example would be Suzuki Jimny or Toyota 4Runner or Prado. A car based AWD vehicle is not equipped with a transfer case but instead uses a varity of different “clutch” systems that engage when front axle tires slip. Theyre called CUVs or crossovers. Example would be Toyota Rav4. 4x4 isn’t a type of car. Its a type of system.

The thing I like most about the 'brand new' jimny is that so much of it is the same as the previous Jimny (same chassis with a few new safety features, same axles, slightly larger displacement version of the same engine etc.). Suzuki are marketing this like it's a return to being a 'real 4x4' but in reality the Jimny has been doing the 4x4 thing very well for years and years. I've had lots of them, and for the work I do I wouldn't use anything else.

Why? lol Just get a Jeep Wrangler. You can usually sell them used for just as much as you bought them for (used). Like the Kowasaki Ninja brand motorcycles, these hold their value and the parts you can find for them are everywhere (cheap) too. The Jeep Wrangler TJ models practically make it easy to do half the work yourself due to how simple the mechanics are designed. Suzuki parts on the other hand are not only expensive but much harder to find. If you are American, its silly not to go with a Jeep Wrangler for this particular type of vehicle.

your review is not correct at all. you started by taking it in the footsteps of your Toyota. but the Jimny doesn't need to go the same route as the Toyota, you should have gone almost perpendicular to your Toyota route, the whole point of the Jimny is its narrowness. you should have easily maneuvered those rocks. I own a 2016 Jimny, and whenevr we have some obstacle, its allways the jimnys that finish and wait for the bigger cars (ranglers exceluded as they ARE indeed THE BEST)

Not a bad effort. The key to the traction control is a bit more momentum and fluidity (obviously very easy to judge from an arm chair). When it's cross axle and stopped is the weak point, just back up a smidge and give it a little bump with some right boot and you'll find it'll pull through much better. Decent job testing it little fella though :)

If you pimp the Jimny up a bit: ie jack it up and put some decent tyres on it it’ll go basically everywhere. As for the wade depth, I’ve had mine through at least 700mm of water. The thing was floating. Had to open a door to flood the cabin so it had enough weight to engage the wheels. Took a while to dry the thing out later but the electrics and motor are still fine six years later. There are plenty of very narrow tracks near where I live where the Jimny kills the bigger cars. An astonishing car for the small amount of cash these things cost to buy. I absolutely love mine.

If you will be driving over boulders and rocks on a regular basis whatever car you own you would probably have if jacked up even higher as you are not going to have a "sherpa" babysitting you...so that whole test is possibly invalid and silly. I have owned 4x4's in the past (Jeep Cheokees, Broncos...) and I completely disagree with your final comments on the little Jimny. Like someone else pointed out- you took a more difficult route with the Jimny vs. the Toyota and your driving technique may have also been wrong.

Jimny is smaller than the Land Cruiser and I think is logic for it to find it a bit harder to pass over some obstacles. It would be a fairer contest when the obstacles would be proportional smaller for Jimny by the amount which Jimny is smaller than the Land Cruiser, I'd say. On a second note, I love both cars very much, I think that the Land Cruiser looks stunning.

MrJordanwain I suspect in its main market which is Japan, this car is a kei car, so they have the 660cc turbocharged 3-cyl, which generated 64 horsepower. For the oversea model they probably choose to cheap out and use the less advanced engine, which is not necessarily a bad thing since some off road enthusiasts may dislike the abrupt kick in of the turbo engine and people are not buying this car for speed anyway . But I do agree with you, a bigger engine will do this car far more justice

The little jimny did actually get there though... and that fat ass landcruiser will not squeeze through or turn in the spaces that the jimny will. So while the jimny will be slower over certain obstacles it will go some places the land cruiser can't.

here in Canada, the late 90's LC prados sell for about the same price as the late 90's jimnys. Personally I would rather have the Cruiser. (BTW they look way better in the 90's than this one) The reasons for me are no screaming little engine at 4500 rpm and muuch easier to find parts! Same drive and power train as the 4 runner. After owning an HDJ81 for years I am getting fed up with importing parts from Australia and Japan!
