OFF ROAD: Suzuki Jimny VS Dacia Duster | Top Gear

Freddie's in the Jimny. Harris is in the Duster. These two 4x4 feather-weights go head to head in an off-road course with hill descents, water splashes and other automobile torture devices. But who'll make it round the quickest?

Bit of an odd selection, the Jimny is a woeful on road car where as the Duster is fine both on and off and won't fall apart around you😎

[@johanbrand9623]

Having owned and driven both vehicles extensively, I have my doubts that the Jimny can beat the Duster so far. Feels a bit staged if you ask me. The Jimny is purely a play thing. It has virtually no space for luggage and is very slow and unstable when cruising the highway. Buy it if you are a single person who frequently wants to go and have adventure off the beaten track. You will have lots of fun. The Duster is more like a normal car in all aspects, but can also handle quite a bit of off-roading, it is certainly better than your average AWD SUV in that respect. Buy it if you are a family man who wants to go camping with the kids off the beaten track every once in a while, or want to go and have the odd bit of fun on a low difficulty grade 4X4 trail every now and then.

[@tsomeone950]

Thank you. I wouldn't want to go on holiday by myself and with no camping gear or clothes. I really liked Jimny but doesn't work when there are 3 of us. A trailer is not a great option as the 1.5 doesn't have lots of spare power.

I made one lap with the bikes going rather fast, even getting a bit of air over the woops, then exited over the berm where i had entered. The announcer was talking about it over the PA.
