@@HIOP0 But it's the fact that emissions ratings are based on weight. Since the jimney is light it falls under tighter emissions laws. A heavy v8 suv doesn't have to meet such strict rules. Its a farce.

It wont rev high if you dont drive at high speeds on the motorway. Adapt the way I do with five speed MT cars. I will happily do 60mph, whats the rush to do 70mph ? Makes no difference to journey times in the grand scheme of things yet will be far more relaxing driving slower. Sadly my daily eye witness of most other drivers who fail to have the discipline to even stick to speed limits in general is all too prevalent.

you should see the suzuki carry, same engines just swapped the 4x4 capability for 3x cargo capacity. Perfect donor car for electric farm machinery experiments

[@JScot92]

Hang on...the payload is 150kg? Basically 2 smaller-than-average men? That has to be a mistake surely?

[@bjornvancompernolle3103]

Ye i was thinking thé same, i load a lot more in my Stelvio 😅

[@clarksonoceallachain8536]

72kg is gaint in japan

[@bernardfender5147]

150kg max load?😂😂😂 Ok, it's for cushion deliveries then. It's rough and pointless isn't it. As Matt said, it exists to get round emittion regs The Ignis is a cuter car.

[@toggtlas7099]

Sometimes I do wonder if Suzuki hates money. They build a car that everyone wants and then barley capitalizes on it and lets the entire market become a mess. And now this... Just build a proper Jimny.

[@lew889]

I remember I tired to order the Jimny, I was told by dealers I wouldn't get 1 but I can buy a 'cancelled order' for 5k over 😂 yer ok thanks I'll take my money elsewhere

[@lopezjuan316jl]

As long as I can play music from my phone, I'm happy, I don't need a lot of screens and all that, I like this car, its design looks "clean" The bad thing is that it's pricy! I mean, wtf

[@hauptmannvonschott]

Idiocy. Youre supposed to drive at high revs. Not 2500. Max torque at 4000 rpm. At 4000 rpm the power is great.

[@bonzobonanza]

The Jimny is my ULTIMATE dream car! Can't wait to buy one! 💛

[@ultraguy8771]

@@Kwatshivo The Jimny is not available in the US. It's possible he's from the US, in which case he has to wait 25 years to be able to import the car.

@@Kwatshivo why are you calling the jimny a "shitbox" anyway?

[@TommyAngelo1337]

Cool car but 150kg payload is rather pathetic and strange. That's like 2 people and there's no back seat. What can you even transport with this? Mails?

[@archechme]

It would have been an even more useful load space if they'd have removed the windows. It's all well and good putting the cage in to protect you from things moving forward but what about side to side?

[@Joaofigas1]

A Real jeep must be like that , no fancing shit , doesnt need anything electronic , i own a Nissan Patrol 260 1991 6 cilinder turbo and thats what u need , a engine and gearbox and a cabin !

[@P4SDetails]

So pumped the Jimny is back! I would love to take this out on some of the off-road trails by my place. The big thing in my area are the Side-by-Sides, but I would prefer something like this.

Suzuki is gonna launch a 5 door lengthened version of this car in India

[@flintdxb7514]

I doubt many will be buying it as a “commercial vehicle” but as a fun, capable off-roader 😬 It could do with a 6th gear tho 😉

[@martinoliver9017]

l've got the Jimny SZ5 l don't think it would pull a sixth gear very well, you'd be flat out all the time. lt's not a high speed vehicle. Best to sit at 65mph with the cruise control on.

That's a $24,000 vehicle, tops, in the USA...if it was sold here. Suzuki is missing out on a HUGE opportunity with this tiny SUV.

[@SaffronWorldCR]

Tbf Jimny has always been a 2 seat vehicle. My rear seats are always down. This car is perfect if you live in the city or small town and love to go camping or off-road. I consider the steel cage a free extra that most Jimny owners end up buying 😃

[@bigjd2k]

Love mine, does an honest 36mpg around local roads! And you can take that cage out, then the seats go back and recline. The passenger seat reclines right back so you can get long things in.

[@JasZg]

Why r you complaining all the time,mo.ron? This is jeep not luxury car! And I do like he don't have much electronic!

[@pilcrow1546]

Just out of interest, how much are OEM parts for the Jimny? Are they relatively reasonable? Like, couldn't you just buy one of these, and fit most of the higher-spec parts yourself? Given the ludicrous used prices for these things, I'd imagine it would almost be cheaper, no?

[@LouisSubearth]

Suzuki parts are cheap (mechanicals), but I imagine dress up parts will be pricey. For the price you're better off customizing it with aftermarket parts from Japan for the same price.

[@clooperman3745]

A new LED headlight for the Jimny is around £500 each!!!!!!!!!

[@kikyoass]

I visited one of the Greek islands and rented a manual Suzuki jeep for 30 euros. Holy cow so much fun

[@timday6087]

The top part of the wire cage moves back (there are pre-drilled holes) to allow the seat to go back.

[@pjackowspa]

Tim is it not the short steel bulkhead below the wire cage that stops the seat going back?

[@timday6087]

@@pjackowspa you can either take the bottom part out and move the wire cage back as per previous post, or remove the locating tabs on the bottom section by drilling out the small welds, then the lower section moves back as well (it’s just not secured at the bottom; this doesn’t matter to me as I only have a dog in the back.

[@tallnrough68]

I wonder if you could turn that cage around so the dip is going back instead of into the cab area 🤷🏻‍♂️
