I got rid of all my LR's but kept the Jimny and don't regret it... it's such a characterful looking car and the perfect size for the small village where I live and country lanes around me... Jimny's are classless, reliable and practical. Big thanks to you Jonny for highlighting the Twisted Jimny, - and well done to all the Twisted team involved.
@Paelorian Жыл бұрын
This makes perfect sense. I like smaller cars and trucks. I've always wanted a Jimny, but not necessarily a larger off-road vehicle. The Jimny is not just an economical vehicle, there's nothing the same small size that can do what a Jimny does. So why not have a better Jimny that reduces it's faults? This looks much more comfortable to ride on the road, making it a more well-rounded vehicle. If I can afford a luxurious vehicle, why must it be large? Small size is often desirable. Besides, a small vehicle of the same high quality is less expensive. I know they're making an economical car expensive, but what else could you buy that is competitive with the Twisted Jimny? Nothing that I know of. I'd rather have this than a big expensive luxury off-road vehicle. This is a very capable off-capable small vehicle. I don't think I need larger size. This is more maneuverable and has lots of space behind the seats. International and domestic regulations often make it difficult to get different configurations of the Jimny, but earlier this year a five-door Jimny was released, initially in India. It looks great. Just slighly longer, and the reat seats fold down so it's a very versatile vehicle. Suzuki has announced an electric Jimny to launch before 2030, and there have been rumors of a hybrid. So this is probably a good time for Twisted to start working on upscale, upgraded Jimnys. I wish I could get this car in the USA! It sounds like maybe these modifications are just what the Jimny needed to turn into a car I'd enjoy driving daily, even on highways and in town. The Jimny was always great, but a little rough and basic. That simplicity made it inexpensive and had a charm, but these improvements make it a better vehicle. The regular Jimny is great off-road but isn't much fun to drive on roads, where it's rather loud, bumpy, and slow. Sounds like they can fix that now.

I’d like him to dip his toes into a bit of older G wagon restoration and modification (not the newer 463/464 bling wagon stuff - yuk) as I have a 35 yr old, rather modified example sat on the driveway and love it. Will people take a £50k Jimny and off road it or will it be just another lifestyle trinket? Who knows. I certainly get the old G muddy, it’s what it was built for.

The 3rd was an '07 5dr V6 which was fine & liked highways. 4th one was an '09 3dr that went over railway tracks constantly, through flooded waters & loved sand dunes. It was my longest Grand Vitara I ever had from new. 10 years of ownership & I sold it to a 20yr old girl who wanted something to catch her older brothers with. Down the track I'll buy a Jimny cos I miss the older Vitaras.

BTW - it was not 100% emissions on why we don't get the non commercial Jimny any more. The Jimny was pretty clean with 154g co2/km. Cleaner than pretty much every other 4x4 on sale. It was more an issue of it weighing so little that silly EU regs penalised it. Had it weighed a tonne more, it could quite happily have doubled its emissions and been fine. They also tow fine, way more than 300kg. I guess you haven't ever tried. And there are no paved roads in the UK where you'd be in trouble in 2nd gear, that is utter BS.

This is called the Jimny Sierra in Japan. They still sell the smaller engine type (kei-type, 660cc) called simply Jimny, and which are far more popular due to less taxation and insurance. The mechanics of the two cars are essentially the same; it is just an engine choice. I live in the Japanese mountains where 40% of the cars are Jimnys (and most of the rest are kei trucks). Don't see many Sierras (which are easy to spot because the number plate is a different colour). The price difference isn't that much, about ¥1.5 million for the Jimny and about ¥1.8m for the Sierra version, so definitely not twice the price. The Twisted version seems to be a locally upgraded basic Sierra, hence the higher price. The manually adjusted 4wd and diff lock etc make them the best choice for the snowy/icy winter season here. All the best from Japan
