Range Rover Autobiography vs Suzuki Jimny - 4x4 face off | Autocar

Question: which car will go further off road? Subscribe now: smarturl.it/autocar
Might it be a Range Rover? The epitome of luxury SUVs, constructed by one of the most famous 4x4 manufacturers on the planet, tested here in £120,000 SVAutobiography form and reputedly capable of going almost anywhere in the world, and powered by a mammoth V8 turbodiesel engine?
Or could it be a £15,000 Suzuki Jimny, an old-fashioned little 4x4 powered by an even tinier engine, of just 1.3-litres and making just 84bhp.
We head to an old quarry - a very, very muddy old quarry - to put the pair of them to the ultimate off-road test.

[@cutdepiefails6596]

This.

[@Rooster-Booster]

Same here, the Jimny is more of a Land Rover Defender than the new 2020 models.

[@tomatoisasquishyfruit]

Jimny is old school off roader. The design assumes that you don't need all the heavy comforts and luxury to travel on rough terrain. And that's what it is. Cheap, reliable and a bump or dent on it will not kill your wallet.

[@scottrc5776]

The Jimmy is far more the "proper off-roader": it has live axles, which are almost always better than independent suspension off-road, and the simplicity is preferred by the majority of off-road drivers because it means there is less to go wrong - if it does it's easy to fix too - and it is easier to modify.

[@coreyjameshaims449]

Had my jinny for 10 years & honestly that thing could go absolutely anywhere.. Even if you rolled it in the ditch it's so light you could just flip it over & keep going 🤣

[@rocketraccoon77]

I want that suzuki so much

[@davetate1155]

Theyre great offroaders, but the on road ride is terrible. I had one for a few years and it was a love hate relationship. It would be great if I could afford to own 2 cars, or if I had a lot of land to play around on.

[@coin666911]

I say I would want both a Suzuki Jimmy and a Suzuki cappuccino. Would be the perfect combination of sports car and off-roader, and both of those combined would fit in a American parking spot.

[@chaoszombie9995]

[@InvictvsNox]

Me too, man... 2023 is the earliest you'll see them stateside... meanwhile the rest of the world gets the far sexier new 2019 one.

[@user-ui5bx4pf9v]

Rocket Raccoon me too

[@joshywoshy18]

All that without locking diffs and fancy off road tech... pretty cool.

[@lovice]

Indeed, Jimny doesn't have a centre or rear diff lock. But, he forgot to mention in fact it's a part time 4WD which means Jimny doesn't even have a centre diff at the first place! It runs as a RWD car in normal situation. As soon as 4WD (doesn't matter 4H or 4L) is selected, it will run both front and rear axles equally just like a full time 4WD car with centre diff locked, as Jimny has a solid drive shaft without a diff at all. In short, Jimny in 4H/4L = RR or any other full time 4WDs in 4H/4L with centre diff locked.

[@zeroamity4788]

lovice It is a front wheel drive normally.

[@user-im4mv2tp5q]

This model jimny have 4x4 all grip pro at low

[@devinwilliams3489]

lovice, no. the range rover still has a rear locking diff, so its not equal

[@gabrielpaulus8799]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[@Cavush]

The jimny is amazing off road. Can do everything the big boys can, at a fraction of the cost. Love it. Great video.

[@russcattell955i]

Exactly, with skilled off road drivers & suitable tyres, both cars would fare better. However as stated, the Jimny is cheaper than the options on the Rangy.

[@myworkshop800]

Cavush what about towing a 3500kg trailer?

[@johnnysash1052]

That Jimny is a classic, remaining example of the Japanese manufacturing and design ethic; out-perform and better the competition, for a fraction of the price.. They do this in every single area they have tried it, electronics, motorbikes, knives, technology etc since the 50's. and something China have tried to emulate but failed immensely. Shame the Japanese manufacturers are now trying to Eurocentric their products and economise their outlays and manufacturing. We need more of this ethic! Unsurpassed reliability and quality for the everyday person, through excellent and innovative design and quality.

[@cyz44]

My Workshop dont know of many offroaders that take 3500kg trailers into the mud

[@russcattell955i]

Yes, military type off roaders begining with Unimog.

Mr Smith There's also fanclubs for trabant 501s, even the worst of cars have a following, what's your point.

[@mrsmith5457]

The Jimny is a reliable car that is awesome off road. It puts £60,000 cars to shame in that respect. Range rover are unreliable, leather clad turds.

[@TheSkskitey]

Go Jimny go , cost 1/6 or less than the Range Rover and it wins , luxury Range Rover , bare bones Jimny but who cares off road , except you don't want to scratch or damage the Range Rover after paying all that money :-)

[@sit3999]

[@AlbertSpice]

Whats the point of getting an off road car if you're afraid to scratch it. And also, who brings their range rovers off road. Its built for stupid rich milfs

[@jmvm3035]

The problem is not the Range Rover, the problem is the "driver".

[@samfish5500]

[@georgeboy5511]

@union310 you probably never driven one so how do u no

[@georgeboy5511]

@union310 unlikely but if you have then you'd know that it would rinse any Jimmy off road my 2015 v8 goes just fine done 100k in it never had any problems goes off road all the time

[@georgeboy5511]

union310 where I got the car from in Ipswich they all used them as farm cars, tbh I don’t know how they can afford it but if you had to chose 1 for free which one would you have?

[@georgeboy5511]

@union310 I do know what you mean when it comes to bigger cars sinking, unfortunately that's the laws of physics the heavier the car the further it goes down,sometimes it helps sometimes it doesn't, in terms of making mess it doesn't 😂

[@andrewschmitt5792]

What's interesting is that most people who buy the range rover would never even do that off road. Maybe some. But unlikely. So let's just conclude that the Suzuki is pretty damn good for what it is.

Great little cars off road and the snow.

[@darshandani1]

That was such a wonderful video ! The terrain was extremely challenging. That's exactly how off road vehicle comparisons should be made.

[@ivarmarkusson382]

over here at iceland, where we have some real experience with trucks and suv's, and truly using them in off road conditions, you wont find any range rovers in the highlands, but you cant go for 5 minutes without bumping in to a jimny, those things have a proper ladder chassis, solid front and rear axles, these things just work, you often see auto magazine guys test a range rover on some trail provided by the manufactor, but in real the RR and many other luxury upmarket suv's are not ideal for off roading, low profile tyres, fancy bumpers, vulnerable high tech equipment, puff daddy would get his fancy shoes all dirty real soon if he tried to really off road his RR

[@alfredoalfaro5000]

[@abhijithsandhya1335]

luxury,comfort, effortless? that's not offroading!!

[@ghp0518]

On a narrow mountain road a small car like the Jimny is about the only thing that can get through to the top to carry supplies (that or a donkey maybe), the only weakness is really deep mud because the clearance is not as high compared to bigger offroaders , but I don't think that's an usual situation.

[@Djordjeblrs]

Please do Lada Niva (4x4) vs Jimny.

[@Xav911]

The Jimny, my favourite rental car.

[@kurtrusellpatrickswayze]

That's funny because we have one at my rental company. The thing has seen some beating but it's the perfect example of less equals more.

[@rare6499]

Great design remains relevant for a long time. The Jimny is awesome!

[@Thecougar66]

Why do so called reviewers always try to ‘test’ cars off road when they haven’t got a clue what they’re doing?! It’s like getting an anorexic to host a cookery programme.

[@rishi-m]

Hear hear, he literally says that at the one minute mark! Unfortunately, this is content tailored for KZbin, made to get into your feed like it does in yours & mine.

[@steventspoon7468]

I think It's pretty obvious really. Not everyone that buys these cars will take them off road and if they do, most will not have a clue how to drive through muddy & rough terrain. It would also be pointless having professional off roaders driving them because they know all the tricks to always get them through (regardless of what they are driving)

[@limpunsing224]

This is one of the most interesting face-off I've ever viewed

[@samhaokip9126]

The best offroad vehicle is lightweight, has small wheelbase, good ground clearance and the jimny checks all of them.

[@benwright3314]

Cracking video. My Jimny is fitted with a 3 inch lift, oversized mud terrains and a rear diff locker. For a lot less than the rangerover by 10s of thousands... I know what I'd choose

[@marksapollo]

Thank God for Suzuki, all these other ‘compact’ SUVs have just grown and grown and grown in size! The VW Trox is about the only other compact one left along with the awesome Jimmy.

[@AkaAndyKnuckles]

Great video. Thanks for not making it shorter. I enjoyed it.

[@juanmanuelromero7928]

I think that with better tires the Range Rover could go through that mud easily, however that Suzuki Jimmy is a great offroader, never underestimate those little Japanese jeeps

[@dkpirie]

That was a really enjoyable video, extremely well presented by two calm and collected professional journalists.

[@maxtroy8511]

No surprises here. Japanese SUVs are the real off-road tools for people who demand such. Range Rovers are best on tarmac, outside the country club, doing the school run and on the back of a flat bed truck.

[@mark3308]

You can't afford a Range Rover

[@user-je6ld8do9u]

You serious? If you think the Range Rover is like any other posh SUV then you're totally, completely wrong.

[@heronumbertwo3171]

[@pablomax3045]

From the closeup video, it appeared that the LR had the tires aired down, while the Jimny's were fully inflated, giving the LR a big advantage. Seems a bit of a cheat.

[@PAVANZYL]

I've had a Jimny since 2008 (new) and it has done 82 000km . Some suspension problems and a new gearbox. It will go anywhere but it is quite uncomfortable. Just the way I like it!

[@ALMX5DP]

Would love to have the Jimny in the U.S. Thoroughly enjoyed them while living in Japan, and I know it wouldnt sell well, here but still it's a fantastic runabout and offroader!

[@pugmug77]

When the range brakes down so will your bank account.

[@stephenmorrish]

There are so many Jimny's down here in rural Cornwall. Small size for the narrow lanes, they can handle mud and such. They hold their price well, just about the only thing they are no good for is towing.. You can tell if it's a city Jimny or a country one, back seat up then it's city, back seats down all the time for a bail of hay or a couple of feed sacks.

[@mattjones1992]

I will say we tow with a Jimny. With a 1035kg 4/5 berth caravan behind it. The sail effect of it upsets it much more then weight. Yes it’s not exactly quick. But it drags us 120 miles each way to santa pod and back to watch events. Will sit at 57 ish with the lorries happily and does a bit more when the time comes to push past. Everything just requires a good look ahead and some planning. It’s ridiculous how adequately the jimny handles what’s thrown at it even when really it shouldn’t be thrown at it.

[@mrlarkin6416]

[@FallingFlying.]

Replace that fairy driving the Rover with someone that has some simple commonsense like yourself I'd assume who would most likely remove those stupid road tyres and replace them with MT Tyres that is suited to the job and actually put some effort into driving instead of prancing around like a fairy that has no idea of what it's doing... Then you'd get a better result than the pansy Autocar driver who failed to put in any effort into the task of driving. Paid to play the fool I think... Both vehicles are very good at off road driving if driven by someone who knows what they are doing ..

I've had experience with Suzuki machines and mostly, the 2009 Grand Vitara with the 2.7L V6. They're extremely great offroaders. My friends and I were taking a few offroaders up Cameron Highlands in Malaysia and that hilly terrain is known to be extremely wet and muddy due to all those soil used by rice, corn and tea plantations littered across the whole highlands. I got the Suzuki Grand Vitara while we have a Discovery 4 TDV6, a rented J80 Land Cruiser by an Australian friend who visited us and followed us on the roadtrip, a Toyota Hilux driven by a Malaysian friend (He opens a garage and that Hilux was his work vehicle which, is also modded) and a Land Rover Series III. We were driving into ankle deep mud and sometimes even higher than that and incline that's almost 35 degrees steep and every car got past except the Discovery. The Grand Vitara being the only ones out of the bunch that doesn't have a pure offroad gearing set up was being dogged on even by the Discovery driver (My friend also) but he was the one that was constantly stuck while the rest of us had no issues at all. I really love the Grand Vitara.

[@callyakn718]

If you want a car to get you into the outback, you take a land rover, if you want a car to get you out of the outback, you take a land cruiser.

What a crazy comparison

[@bernardhossmoto]

Make it right, make it light. Here in the Austrian mountains lot's of Jimnys with the forest workers. Dacia Dusters, too.

[@electrikoptik]

The driver in the range rover pretty much sums up what a range rover is. It's an overhyped off-roader with arrogant drivers. You can barely modify one. If you want to go rock crawling you take a JEEP. And if you want to drive across continents without breaking down, you take a Land Cruiser.

[@Malc180s]

Nope, it's a bargain luxury car, has been for the best part of 30 years. None of the cars you mention come close to it's remit. No other car on sale does to be fair.. £80 grand starting price for something that rivals a rolls royce more than it does a jeep. And on top of that, it's a superb offroader, as good as anything on similar tyres. Any other view is just silly. Like comparing a single seater to a GT3.

[@devil0373]

Yeah these new ones are shite, the 80s rangies, and (shock horror!) even the P38s are much better as offroad machines. Nowadays if you want a proper offroad land rover you're fucked, as the defender isn't being made anymore and everything else is for mums to look cool outside the school gates.

[@TheBlaert]

Range Rovers have always been properly good off-road. Maybe the new ones not as much as previous models, but they're highly competent nonetheless. Better than American crap anyway. And why the fuck would you want to take a brand new Range Rover rock crawling?

[@lewis72]

No mention of what tyres were on the RR and what was on the Suzuki. I'm sure the Rangey would do much better if it were on some really chunky off-road tyres. Furthermore, you wouldn't' want to go 4-up with luggage down to the Italian Alps in the Suzuki. The Range Rover is far more capable in other areas than the Suzuki.

[@electrikoptik]

Nope. Your Range rover will break down. And it will take a Land Cruiser to come and rescue you.

[@dkphantomdk]

I dont mind saying that the Jimmy is a good little offroad car. But the muddy hill climb was flawed. The landrover look like it was going as slow as possible to make sure it didnt have mometum to go up the small hill. The Jimmy was at its first attempt going a lot faster, but it failed its first try. - and allmost failed its sekond try And the last LandRover try wasnt much faster than its first try.. it would make the hill with a bit more speed and a bit more heavy foot, and some tires for something else than pavement. But all we need to go offroad is.. low gearing, diff lock on all 4, and a light car with ground clearence, its not science.

[@dkphantomdk]

jerk ! ;)

Your correct.

[@anarchybullet1624]

Your right! And He said it "i'm not an off roader" then why the hell he need to ride and test a range rover on offeroad!

What model of Jimny (year) is that??

[@bigyeohd789]

I've got a standard 2005 55 reg jimmy with road tyres and when it snowed in the UK before Christmas it went everywhere without any issues! Also the jimny is my first car.

[@wakeup2theNWO]

Do you still have it?

[@petercavellini3232]

Lighter that’s all, the RR always going to struggle....🤔

[@pawArhtct052]

Lol did anyone think Range Rover will show any kind of performance in this type of terrain? What is next? X6 vs Lada Niva? X5, X6, Q7, GLE... are NOT off road cars, they are cars with off-road vehicle FEATURES. Come on, guys, dont be stupid, this test was just making a muddy mess out of this poor Range Rover. What i would like to see is G class vs Lada niva, but not G65 AMG Mansory with 23 inch alloys, but olg G class Pouch alike. Cheers!

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

A range rover is a proper off road car,

[@pawArhtct052]

yeah with ground clearance od 172mm, audi a4 allroad 202mm... and some real off road car like g class 250mm, enough said

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

Range Rover is the flagship vehicle of Land Rover and it comes bestowed with an excellent ground clearance of 295.5mm. This high ground clearance demonstrates the all-round capability of this vehicle along with its versatility on all kinds of terrain. The vehicle is well adept in tackling the Indian roads with such a good ground clearance. 295.5mm of ground clearance makes Land Rover Range Rover take a lead over all of its competitors in this respect. Porsche Cayenne, the luxury crossover that has the same starting price as that of Land Rover Range Rover competes fiercely with Land Rover Range Rover in this segment. It comes with a much lower ground clearance of just 215mm. Mercedes Benz G Class offers an even lower ground clearance figure of 206mm. Clearly, Land Rover Range Rover is way ahead of all its rivals when it comes to ground clearance.

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

You where saying? even a land cruiser only has 220 mm. hahha

[@pawArhtct052]

Lol from where, from drivers ass? Sorry but in ground clearance, you should consider lowest point of undercarriage, not highest... My knowledge is not from quasi- portals..

[@joshuating3620]

Can I use some of your clips for my montage thankyou

[@danilorodriguez4665]

What a great video, really good

[@99unclebob]

back in the late 80's early 90's when gm and suzuki had a partnership to build them in Ontario ,Canada I had one as a demo and that thing could more places than any other product they sold for half the price and came with off road style tires and always started in minus 30 or 35 weather and had better heat than any jimmy or blazer built at the time and are super reliable. the engine in this one was derived from the sameone i drove the only difference is the newonw has a 16 valve head instead of an 8 valve head. it would be great to see if they offer an LSD or diff locker as an option and manual locking front hubs for cost effectiveness and better fuel economy. And like electrikkoptik said when you want to cross a continent you take a Land Cruise, definitely not a Range Rover

[@1xtra299]

What I want to see is one of the reviewers put proper off road tires on the Range Rover and then review it off road. Everyone seems to only do it with the city/road tires they come with then criticize it for not being able to do certain things that would really benefit from having off road tires. I mean they even do this with the G63 4x4^2 which is even more ridiculous considering you could order the thing with the off road tires straight from factory. I get the whole idea of reviewing the vehicles as is but changing tires and wheels really isn't modifying the car that much, if at all, and why not just do it for the hell of it for those of us that would actually consider it.

[@rsoul7282]

1xtra299 problem with that is you cannot put smaller wheels with higher profile tyres on these things as it won’t provide enough clearance for the enormous brakes they fit to them.

[@1xtra299]

Yeah I was thinking of that right after I wrote my comment. That being said I did some searching and it turns out there are a few brave people out there who've managed to put what seems like 4" lifts on a few of the newer Range Rover Sports, but I can only manage to find pictures, no video of them in action.

[@adib5954]

Not only tires. There is one crucial, often overlooked difference. The Jimny has a chassis, while the Range doesn't. That means the Jimny is a lot more rigid and will also take more abuse. Imagine you lift a Range, all the bolts are inserted in aluminium sheet (probably) and once you modify the angles, the forces at play will probably result in sheering off bits and pieces. I have seen that with cars that are unibody and you try to lift them. That Range is strictly for on pavement use and maybe a snowy road or a light logging road from time to time. I cannot forget the time I drove a LR Discovery 4 through mud. All the lights on the dashboard were looking like a christmas tree, as all the sensors did not react well to mud. I am talking about proper off-road, not that light course in the clip.

[@rsoul7282]

Adi B with respect mate, it doesn’t matter what else you have, tyres are your final contact with the terrain, and if they aren’t doing the job, you are going nowhere. Do you think an F1 car could race on street tyres? By no means am I going to discount ground clearance as a factor, but traction is key.

[@devinwilliams3489]

1xtra a lift on those vehicles is nothing more than tricking the air suspension

[@Paul-ob3vt]

The problem the RR has when off roading is the fool behind the controls. I have a L322 Autobiography and love it, one of the best 4x4 I have ever owned.

[@Mladjasmilic]

One of them is off-roader. Other is SUV (sub-urban vehicle)

[@abdelhameedalotaibi3657]

Toyota land cruiser sitting on the side laughing at this cow and goat trying to off road .. but to be honest im totally impressed with the Jimmny , what a machine ..

[@goa184]

Plz bring that suzuki in india Lots of ppl r waiting for it We never get the good stuff When we r ready to pay 3 times the actual price of the car after the taxes

[@bibekanandaroy3619]

goa clean It's been in India for a long time. In here it's known as Maruti Suzuki Gypsy.

[@HorizonTravels1988]

goa clean we already have it. The Gypsy. Just the looks are different. But hopefully the Jimny is coming soon.

[@goa184]

Bibekananda Roy read my statement properly Does our gypsy has a short chasis Auto gear No na than i am asking for that ...

[@bibekanandaroy3619]

I know, you are basically asking for the short chassis version.

[@Mannisingh2121]

Hurrah... It's going to be launched in India... Soon

[@sanmaan13]

Surely makes you wonder is all the gadgetry and hefty prices under the name of technological marvel really required to make cars great! Wonderful video!
