Never underestimate the off road capabilities of a Jimmy. They might be small, but they can easily keep up with the big boys!

[@vecernik87]

Keep up with big boys? That is a serious underestimation. Throw Jimny into sand next to some overweight Patrol or Hilux and those trucks will have trouble to keep up with Jimny :D

[@Westralia]

Its the other way round,can the big boys keep up with a Jimny.

[@myytchannel6632]

If you get a Jimmy stuck, you can literally carry it out! That is how good it is and that is how it can challenge the big, fat and obese boys like the Patrol, LandCruisers and the rest of those truly big and heavy rigs.

[@vecernik87]

​@Spikey Scenes I think little lift doesn't hurt anyone (only your wallet). Increased wheel articulation means better traction and this video confirms it.

[@Westralia]

@@myytchannel6632 Very True on literally carrying it out.Indian Army special forces dismantle the car and carry it in parts on special operations.Once back on a clearing they set it up again and off they go.Its called Suzuki Gypsy(the sierra version).Very similar to a pitchjng a tent.8 para commandoes divide the load ,)

[@Joftaky]

I bought a Jimny because of how much fun you guys were having, I just had to have one!

[@FJUH]

Great content and great to see a Jimny comparison!! They look even better modified. Suzuki did a spot on job staying true to their philosophy with the Jimny than Land Rover did with the new Defender.

[@the_irate_juan8462]

This really looks like a lot of fun. I'm not really a big fan of off-roading, but looks like having a Jimny could give you that peace of mind that if ever you find yourself lost in the middle of nowhere with no paved roads, the Jimny is more than enough to get you out in one piece.

[@derdummeasi]

If you get far enough with the 40 liter petrol ^^

[@panlakachokora5149]

Only fools travel that far without carrying spare gas ​and besides Jimny has better mileage so it doesnt need to refill as much as other big rigs like Jeep and Toyota that swallows gas like blackhole@@derdummeasi

[@paulgriffiths7399]

finally! an actual in depth off road review. well done guys. the best video showing the jimny i have seen. great to have modified and stock too for comparison!

[@Locotropic]

I love that little monster, you buy it and you have a mini Wrangler, Defender, G Wagon, Land Cruiser J 40, Niva but in the end you still have a Suzuki!! This little thing managed to tow a stack wrangler rubicon in the woods that couldn't even move and everybody lost our minds

[@manocpjaevel]

Everybody has already mentioned the music, so I'll just say: Awesome video! So cool not only to compare stock to a pure offroad set up, but also throw in a middle way version! Thanks 👊🏼

[@ilimjahey]

The sandy color one with the lift and big tyre's looks really badass im not gone lie.

[@maxneale6334]

i reckon these will be the most popular 4x4 in about 25 years, they are the last 4x4 still made that is comparable to the good old 80s and 90s trucks. when they start rusting away and the last ones are smashed up these will be the one to have. can’t wait till second hand ones start selling cheap, i’ll be picking one up for sure once my ‘90 samurai starts falling apart

[@mattteee2973]

Man, Suzuki really nailed it when they designed the new Defender!

[@Naeidea]

So good set of tyres, a lift and possibly locking diffs and you're set.

[@NotApplicable678]

Ive fitted multi-function master blaster boomers on all 4 corners. The synchronization of the platelets is remarkable. The zoom raiders in sequence with the drop forged cram-rods gives me all the torue punt i need.

[@gzahnd]

Suzuki, if you’re listening, please bring these back to America!

[@Pete-it5ms]

You, me and 4 million more people would have to buy one for it to be profitable for them. But they don't need the North American market anymore. We shit on Suzuki for years, now they have an awesome Jimny America desperately wants but can't have.

Id love to see the capabilities of a jimny on full load (roof top tent, bullbar, camping supplies, all the good) and see how she handles. I'm looking at getting one and with that tiny engine I'm thinking I might have to resort to a air rooftop tent

[@insomniacryan9916]

Ideal as a city car or a hardcore off-roader, two things that don’t often go together. Also a great daily driver, good gas mileage and sight lines. Like a motorcycle with weather protection and cargo capacity. On the other hand, definitely not good for long road trips. It’s a kei car that thinks it’s a Wrangler, and it’s just one of the best vehicles in the entire world, IMO. Bravo, Japan, you guys make great cars.

[@nyquil07na38]

I want one but alas I am in the USA. Super jealous I love basic lightweight vehicles. I hope they come to our market one day. I would buy one for sure.

[@ShaneMathewPhilip]

Modifications look good. Jimny did a great job, staying true to it's DNA.

[@cptmorgan92]

There should be more cars like the jimny. Every other comparable car got more expensive for 15 years. Defender, Jeep, G-Wagon, Land Cruiser and so on are luxury cars now. Off Road cars are for fun or work and not for cruising. I dont need that much multimedia, luxury and innovation if it raises the cars price by 10 grand or more. Even a fucking golf is expensive now.

[@andrifsig]

You call these modified? We run the Jimny on 33" to 35" tires here in Iceland for snow wheeling with about a similar lift as these have. We just cut into the body and wheel welds to create space for suspension travel. Today we run a Tacoma on 44" tires but there are larger rigs here with the most common tire sizes ranging from 38" to 54" tires. So much fun to be had in the snow when there is plenty of it.

[@oddities-whatnot]

The is what the new Defender should have been. Sorry Land Rover, but the new Defender is an expensive mistake, and you have probably succeeded in sending customers to Suzuki instead. These are what farmers and country dwellers really want. Not some expensive, overly complicated bling designed for school run mums. The answer is the Jimny. Most people dont really go off roading, they will mainly be purchased for daily use on PCP lease deals, but for those that want a bit of adventure, get a set of all terrain tyres on it and youre good to go anywhere, all year round, in any weather, on any road conditions and it will also be extremely reliable. Suzuki, Subaru, Mitsubishi and Toyota. Avoid everything else.

[@grantta7450]
