On our drive back from Yercaud to Bengaluru, we decided to subject the Jimny to a rough road test, actually a brutal ‘no-road’ test. Instead of taking the route via Salem (the one we took coming in), we opted for the backroads that involve an arduous 30 kilometer stretch, many segments, rough and shod of all semblance of a road whatsoever. I wanted to know if these bad roads would rattle the Jimny, ruffle its composure in the slightest. Watch the vlog to see what happened.
Hope you enjoyed this Yercaud Jimny drive series. Let me know in the comments below, where else would you like to see the Jimny go

Maruti cannot ask for a better person than you, to promote jimny. I myself turned my head a few times when ever I've seen a jimny on the roads, definitely it is a fab looking car.

[@rajpopat3384]

He is doing amazing promotions At each and every angle - Suzuki should appoint him with models for test drive and his suggestions and advantages

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

haha! I speak for the Jimny as a consumer. Thank you!

[@ck-fr9nq]

😅😅if a Maruti Swift could do the bad road as seen in the vlog, it would be much easy for the jimmi with the 4WD. Amazing car in it's segment.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

@@ck-fr9nq 😀 you can attempt any trail in almost any vehicle, what matters is how comfortably and confidently can the vehicle do it. And what the condition of the passengers may have been, I wouldn’t be happy sitting in that swift on this stretch. 🙂

[@ck-fr9nq]

@@KripalAmannaVlogs agreed 👍🏽💯

[@harshanandakumar8432]

What a beautiful view at the Viewpoint. Thanks for capturing yet another amazing vlog in Jimny and every time I see this series it makes me feel as if I am driving the Jimny. Articulation & Storytelling are the key ingredients in a vlog, and they are covered superbly in all your vlogs. Apart from food lovers TV, I think you will do a great job with road trips and travel vlogs with the hint of food experience which goes without saying. Looking forward to seeing many such adventures in Jimny.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Thank you, Harsha, I am glad you enjoyed being with me on this drive. Appreciate your kind words, yes, I plan to explore more, travel and road trips too.

[@mannsinghs]

Jimny is definitely a great vehicle and thanks for bringing great Jimny content however, FWD vehicles can do these kind of roads just fine as well especially if Ground clearance is good and engine is powerful - like Ecosport, Nexon etc. 😊 The best part about a SPV like Jimny is you just know you will go through almost anything a road can throw at you, and you actually enjoy it!

[@BorisEkner]

This is a video of my kind, driving the roads and tracks less traveled. I ❤️ it!

[@subadhrapalasubramaniam7246]

Yercaud video's very lovely scenes and with some new nice recipe ideas too.

[@raviaravisankar]

Hello @Kripal Amanna Sir, you came very close to my hometown called Pappireddipatti (15 km from Bommidi), I am in USA and very Happy to see my native place from your channel 🥰😍😍. The milestone behind you ( where you stopped @19:19 - Harur 35 km) is my Birthplace (Harur). 🤗

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Wow! That's wonderful to learn, thank you for sharing with us Ravi Sankar.

[@organiciyer2293]

Awesome pictures and amazing vlog sir. Love from Canada

[@Praveenkumar.V.]

Hello Kripal, saw you asking directions from local people in the vedio. Next time, you may try downloading google map for offline use.

[@BorisEkner]

This is a video of my kind, driving the roads and tracks less traveled. I ❤️ it! The Jimny is fun to drive at all cont.

[@KK-xh4gm]

Great drive, beautiful views good music and excellent narration…It was great to see the road less explored from Yercaud...

[@haridasification]

Nice bommidi off-roading

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Thank you, Haridas

[@kishanshetti1]

This is the first time I'm actually hearing about this place. It looks beautiful.

[@shivaprasad6311]

Gimny vlog was very good like your wonderful narration

[@nikoverland]

Did the same route in 2019, to run in the engine on my then new Thar. Took it by mistake, but didnt regret it one bit! You could add on some underbody protection for more serious trails. Cheers!

[@raviaravisankar]

The best adventure and challenging trip for your Jimmy would have been the Kolli hills (Kollimalai hill station, Namakkal District, Tamil Nādu), roughly 90 kms from Salem, even Anand Mahindra showed the beauty of the Road from eagle view (in his X channel i believe) there are other village routes to the Kolli hills like how you came down from Yercaud. Please do your test drive on that Hill station. Thanks. 🙂🤗

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

I hoe to get there someday.

[@drfaisal6]

Nice Vlog ..I did the same route in September 2023 ...........in my Scorpio .........its adventurous

[@MAYURJAINKS]

Great video sir, the nearest hill station where morning we can feel nippy and showcasing the same is great to watch, was wondering on off stretch of jimny, went curious and saw some videos about jimny and other machines, to be honest I was impressed the way it worked and it worked more finer than some of others, so have a happy driving in jimny, want to see more of journey that are bit longer how about Bangalore to Ooty, just a thought.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Thanks, Mayur, I have some drives being planned. Let's see how it goes.

[@kvs6830]

Jimny is perfect for these roads. In fact I used have blast time even in my Spresso in these kind of roads. Most of the hill stations have poor connectivity. Better to dowload offline Gmaps before starting the journey .

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Yes, that's a good idea to download offline maps. Do these offline maps come up on apple car play too when downloaded on the phone?

[@pattathilsasikumar1391]

A nice riding of Jimmy videos both up to Wycard and back in rough roads.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SuperSanthosh1991]

Precise and honest presentation 🚙⛰️

[@mustanggt5713]

After watching your vlogs on the Jimny , I’m super tempted to book it as my “ fun and adventure car” too . I’m still convincing my family about it and am almost there ! Thanks Kripal ji 😃

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Haha! wish you the very best. Do take a long test drive too to best understand the potential of the Jimny.

[@mustanggt5713]

@@KripalAmannaVlogsThanks sir!

[@vaibhavdubey8647]

You should have done this route secretly, hope it doesn't become weekend getaway for bangaloreans😅 Did this route few years back and its looking same still. Very tempting video. 👍

[@jrex9052]

Hey! Great video 👍 Are you a watch enthusiast? Would love to watch a video on your watches

[@sunilvl69]

Dear Kripal sir, ir video answered my question to u on ur previous post about the bommisi route. Btw..when i went via that route to yercaud....local bikers gave me a thumsup sign for daring to travel that route. I hv a 4WD scorpio. My take is never travel post sundown on that route ...if u hv a breakdown rhere wont be a soul on that road. During rainy seasons its suicidal . Take care n safe driving .

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Glad you found an answer to your question in this video. Yes, I too wouldn't recommend this road post sundown at all, and even during the day, this would be the road for the adventurous. If not, the ghats from Salem would be the best route to take.

[@nvnpaul]

Exactly!! Ykw, I did hit this route accidentally in May 2023 on Glanza with 170mm ground clearance, no traction control, with front wheel drive & with 4 passengers & luggage, it was way too adventurous & fun part was we were driving up😅

[@surendra.t.p3541]

Mr. Kripal NH 75 is Bengaluru-Mangaluru Road

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

yes, going up to Vellore.

[@vikasnrgowda]

You can also try dabguli falls via kanakapura road. It has a good wide trails for cars .

[@rohanrayakar2257]

On broken roads sometimes I feel like standing on the foot pegs.. but then I am reminded that I am not on my bike but driving a car!

[@cedricvaz6112]

Hi Kripal Sir, Good morning. I can't really do the adventures that you do. I am living my life vicariously through you. And so I look forward to more similar off road trips on your Jimmy with you and may be Sree too. Thanks a lot. 👍

[@SJshashanka]

Since you asked - why not add some accessories on our jimny..both form and functional and make a video of the same. I drive the same Alpha AT Bluish Black and follow your videos..cheers

[@rajpopat3384]

What accessories can you add ? On the outside especially because it’s perfect ! It really doesn’t need to enhance its looks ……. It’s natural aggressive beauty Doesn’t argue , just take instructions unlike other beauties ….!! lol 😂

[@sharath2680]

Kripal lost in Bomdi😊😊😊

[@MotoRemedy]

Nice Omega Seamaster!

[@santoshb9400]

Nice vlog! It would be awesome to watch if anyone of the go pro mounted near wheels.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Sure!

[@leoleorueras904]

Can you do long trip with 4-5 people and lots of luggage? I am interested on seeing how it performs, especially on road uphills.

[@MrCoolhandjake]

Hi kripal ji welcome to Chennai please visit some good veg restaurant here as well as please visit annalakshmi hotel in sputank road to gain insights on their services

[@ahsreekrishnanayalur2797]

Pepper, pepper, coffee, coffee all over the place.

[@dhananjaymahajan8975]

How about having blog of four wheel drive experience with Jimny ?

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

On the cards, Dhananjay. Stay tuned.

[@diegoamestica4038]

Hello Kripal, would you advice to go for the Jimnýs with manual transmission or not? What has been your experience?

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

I prefer an automatic given the traffic one faces in the city, even on stretches of the highway, etc. Ultimately, whether one buys manual or not, it depends on one's needs, I have spoken a bit about in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inWVhGCBoKd8baMsi=MCDvANP9BaQv60H_

[@mohamedumair5932]

Kripal sir I hate AMT transmission

[@spradeepkumarschandrasheka672]

Awesome vlog sir 😊😊😊😊😊

[@Pradeepmh_vlogs]

I've been in confusion since it's launch to buy one. Now I've more inclined towards purchasing the Jimny, apart from one thing which always runs in my mind that is build quality. Whats your take on this ?

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

When it comes to the build quality, the Jimny is quite solid and tested a fair bit overseas. I personally feel it is quite unlike a typical Maruti. You should perhaps test drive the Jimny to get a feel of its build aspect first hand and then decide for yourself.

[@Pradeepmh_vlogs]

@@KripalAmannaVlogs Yes, I've already test drove the vehicle few months ago. I didn't feel a bit of a rugged vehicle when compared to my hatchback Tata Tiago. Also there's no GNCAP crash test videos as such for a 5 door Jimny.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

@@Pradeepmh_vlogs you should go for what seems reassuring to you. .

[@TechiesLife]

Can we put cooling film at Bangalore

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

That's not film, but UV coated glass.

[@sudeen6420]

Barbeku barbeku 4k barbekuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@ACFan-qw7kq]

Any 2, 3 or 4 wheeler can easily cross those roads. The Jimny is meant for proper off-roading, those slightly narrow and broken roads present no challenge to it.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

well, you can attempt to drive almost any vehicle in any terrain, what matters is how well it does it.

[@mganandmysore6812]

Kripalji, is it difficult to drive with manual transmission thru 21 hairpin bends?

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

My car is an automatic, but manual transmission should be good too.

[@Nitishr1992]

Next time use offline maps sir when you're on an adventure in the mountains

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Ok will do

[@loneranger1265]

Dear Kripal I'm here in bangalore for the past near two months forgive me for not commenting on this to you earlier, was too tied up with personal work for family, I feel so much at home when I'm here , anyway you take care brother ,regards to u n fly , stay safe healthy blessed forever in the Risen Lord 🙏💐💝🥰👍🤞

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Nice to know, hope you are having a good time in the city.

[@SubashCV]

Saw a comment elsewhere Jimny is very light. Is it? What are the core strengths & weaknesses if I have to make a decision?

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

In this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/inWVhGCBoKd8baM I have spoken for the strengths of the Jimny wrt my needs and why I went for it. In doing so, I have also spoke about certain areas where some buyers may find it lacking. Do watch the vlog.

[@ahsreekrishnanayalur2797]

Did you see any wild animals. Yercaurd is good to spot the indian gaur. Occasionally wild elephants.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

No, I didn't see any wild life, other than monkeys.

[@pooh6546]

Only reason to buy a 4wd in 95% of India is to just say you have 4wd.... you don't need it, and trust me when you need it you start to contemplate the stupid decisions that you make in life to end up in that pathetic situation in the first place. I live in the harsh winters of upstate New York and I use a corolla with fwd and good all weather (not all seasons, those are normal tires) Michelle tires and never had to face any issues in worse of conditions that no indian usually finds themselves in.... when I was in Ahmedabad for 20 years there was not ONCE a situation that I thought "you know what I need in life? An 4wd car... that would be helpful". I don't have words to explain how stupid one has to be (or superfluous with money) to buy a 4wd car. Take some time and contemplate your life choices and don't waste money, people are working themselves to death for barely enough money for necessity...

[@SharkFishSF]

So, tell me do you take a reverse everytime you leave your wife to capture the car leaving shot or does whe walk to the car? 😁

[@mohitreddy9999]

You should have gone for scorpio N. It's an absolute beast and safety is top notch.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

I wanted a true 4wd, the scorpio definitely ain't one.

[@mohitreddy9999]

@@KripalAmannaVlogs sir scorpio N has advanced 4wd system. One of the best in industry. Please check it once.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

@@mohitreddy9999 perhaps, time will tell, still relatively unproven. Moreover, it wouldn’t have checked the boxes I was looking for in my purchase of a 4wd. I’ve spoken about it in this vlog. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inWVhGCBoKd8baM

[@callingbell-ix5se]

Thanks for unsolicited advice. While I understand where you are coming from Kripal is smarter than me and you knowing what suits his needs better. Why would he want another bulky SUV when he has a family car Innova and this is his secondary car for his adventures. Also, this car at least can guarantee wheels won’t come off while driving
