Why I Chose Suzuki Jimny Over Mahindra Thar! Vlog 252

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Happy motoring! Needless to say, there will be more motor vlogs on my Jimny adventures here. So stay tuned. And do subscribe hit the bell for more from our food, travel and life adventures.

[@angshumanisad]

Only reason why Jimny did not become a hit is the exorbitant pricing. We Indians always do an evaluation whether the product I am spending money on is worth my money. If it would have been couple of lakhs cheaper, the story would have been different.

[@Joy0077in]

You used to ask people to donate money to ur account from that money you bought this and financed with HDFC Bank

[@RishabhMenon-t4x]

If you you want to biy a 7 seater, I recommend xuv 700 Napoli black or tata safari

[@pattathilsasikumar1391]

​​@@Joy0077in To buy Jimmy he is not going to use money people donated he uses it for charity works. Never under estimate him please

[@gautambanerjee7123]

I am happy I have one more person who sees the usefulness and comfort of the Jimny. Thar is nowhere near the thought and design behind the Jimny!

[@vinyasls9568]

Kripal sir could open car review channel too... He rocks everywhere 😅🔥

[@Adesshh]

Massive respect for choosing a car on utility and not just herding with so called off road enthusiasts

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

🙏🙏

[@s_n9210]

Most people don't ever take their SUV's off road anyway, thus rendering any added utility they offer useless.

[@AbhiramGurijala]

Let's be honest, most people buy the Thar to show off, not for off-roading.

[@gautambanerjee7123]

Absolutely agree. Thar is total hype. Jimny is much more nimble and comfortable to ride and goes off road too. I have driven 4500 kms til now long, city and off road. I have also driven Thar. it feels like a bullock cart!

[@oriondoublecrossed]

​​@@gautambanerjee7123Gurkha is also a pretty nice option. Especially if one plans to modify it. Its small and not as agile as jimny but gets the job done. It also has a very small turning circle. Just need to take that roof carrier out.build quality is quite nice as well Just ok the pricier side. But comes with 2 diffs.

[@KAlpha09]

As mentioned before. Jimmy is misunderstood in India. It’s one a few cars built on pedigree. The recently published sales figure shows, people don’t value competent products.

[@gautambanerjee7123]

Only refined and experienced people will like Jimny. Those who think looks and muscles are everything then they can go for Thar with a short expiry period!

[@leslinnnn]

​@cardoc93If im not wrong they are providing discount of 1.5 to 2lakhs

[@Peaceofmind-x8c]

The narration, video cuts and bgm were perfect... Nice to see a practical approach of your car selection.... I was also booked a jimny during that period but changed the car to breeza due to family.... At same time your approach on leaving it in its classic without thunder edition kits is also seems a good decision at the same time cost saving too.... And most jimny owners love to modify but it seems u love it to drive in the way it has been seems practical too... In my point of view after driving it's manual and AT its a fair 4x4 car.... Happy motoring...

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Glad you liked it!

[@jsarun5825]

Most brilliant and best choice for Bengaluru traffic and off roads sir , service cost is like servicing a bike, engine oil costs 1200₹ and labour charge depends on service centre and we can say easy maintenance and reliability is 100%. Rear wheel drive experience for affordable price 🎉🎉🎉 nexa road side assistance is best.

[@palashsinha6163]

This is one of the most practical, unbiased review of a vehicle. Looking forward to see more adventures with Jimny.

[@sourabhprabhu2870]

Not a regular viewer of ur channel..i knw u make food related videos and reviews...but man.. the knowledge and the way u reviewed the vehicle was phenomenal...more than a automobile influencer ❤

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

🙏

[@girisubramaniam2815]

All spot on. Just picked up a Jimny last week....in Sikkim. Needed a small 4x4 SUV to reach our project site. Have been around the hills a bit. It works.

[@KK-xh4gm]

Excellent choice! Your review of the Jimny is spot on-it truly is a hidden gem, boasting sophistication, modernity, and comfort for up to four passengers.

[@Abdulrashidkhan37]

Owned a jimny for last five months , never regretted buying it at full price . The only thing that some times bothers me is the city mileage but highway mileage makes it a pleasure to drive on long runs .

[@subhash.suragani]

What's the city mileage and highway mileage Is it available in diesel

[@nilesh7158]

From Food review to Car review...Jipsy to Jimny .Certainly time has evolved ..Great Review Sir ❤

[@soumendash3911]

Jipsy is lit🎉

[@BorisEkner]

Great and honest review, thanks. I live in Central America. I have the 2022 three door, bought in mid 2021. Not that I am a fan of the 5 door, I agree with everything you say and the build quality has exceeded my expectations. I only have 2 airbags, and not any of the other safety features you have in yours. First I was pretty upset that Suzuki valued the lives of Latin Americans less than in other parts of the world. But then I calmed down realizing that I’ve never bought a car with the intention to be in a crash. And even more so with my beloved Jimny. As I drive some off-road I have added front & rear diff-lockers, 10 extra spotlights, and a lot of extra modifications inside the car, including cup holders, USB-charging ports, 4-band walkie-talkies, automatic windows closing when locking the car, a rear cargo net, an automatic dash cam, three strong reverse lights, much better shock absorbers from Ironman, a very good throttle controller from Torqit in Australia (it has an anti-theft mode!), I replaced all halogens with LED’s the H4’s with bulbs from X-7Seven and the rest with bulbs from Headlight Revolution, and more. The Jimny is a great platform for anyone who wants to create a personalized vehicle. And it is a great vehicle off-road too. Here’s a 30 second video of my extra spotlights: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYDFmoupfN2hbcUsi=T7NiuCMTVj0elwUx If you want to see my car, search for Pacaya Overland at KZbin.

[@archanaudupa210]

I resonate with u.. yours is the most sensible and close to reality video I have come across so far. The Thar may be a stunner but its also a highly impractical vehicle. Getting in and out is a task for 2 nd row passengers and they may also feel claustrophobic as the windows cant be opened. The boot space is absolutely zero and rear passengers are always at risk if there is an impact from behind..The features are very very basic. so Thar is basically a vehicle for personal usage or for just 2 people.

[@samarthkatta6410]

3 minutes in and i still keep hearing him say I'll tell you the reason why i picked this without actually telling it 😂

[@flick.locker]

Nice call out to gypsy Makes me like jimny even more now, for the gypsy nostalgia factor

[@ajitroy9599]

2nd gen jimny aka gypsy was closer to 4th gen jimny in international market as it was more boxy outside India. 4th gen jimny is very much based on the design of gypsy only. Sadly, they could have upgraded the design and width of gypsy instead of bringing 5door jimny in India or they could have retain the gypsy name.

[@MG-fp8hj]

I haven't came across a more thoughtful clear and practical decision than this. Way to go ❤ Happy Miles. 🚀

[@Prithish86]

Kripal Anna Sir has my respect! With impeccable food knowledge Salute to you for getting this very capable underrated car! Jimmy Fanboy here. ❤

[@mytube40955]

Hi Kripal, we need some more motorists like you. Disciplined and calm.

[@maheshsiddheshwar2580]

Wonderful Video Anna . Now Surely More people may think of Buying this Vehicle because of Your OPINION 😊👍 . Hope The Makers Continue to Make in Future too 👍

[@autocritic]

Excellent assessment. The Jimmy is a fantastic car with Japanese dependability, but I believe its debut pricing severely undervalued it. The Thar's road presence is likewise absent from the Jimny. Jimny's build quality is exceptional, free of the typical maruti characteristics.

[@MAYURJAINKS]

Congratulations again sir, one chooses the one that suits him best, happy travelling and thanks for the insight about your new toy sir.

[@siddharthshankar7244]

semma! top notch and practical review! kudos!

[@sumedh_deole1111]

This is a great choice Sir!!💯 I've also liked the Jimny over the Thar, Thar has become too common on roads these days, but a Jimny on the road always stands out! 🔥

[@AdityaKumar-nj7mb]

This is exactly how you would like a review to be. Appropriately informative and subtle about the POVs. Most of the reviewers end up being too intensified about their opinion and end up portraying the review as a marketing tactic. Thank you for this review sir, it really modified my opinion on this category. Expecting a long term review.

[@kiranh5217]

Congratulations 🎉. I wish you had spoken little more on Gurkha as well. I understood from the vidoe that you wouldn't like such bulky machines but was expecting that you will talk few more lines on it as much as you did on Thar. Anyways happy driving and go great miles on it.

[@ShashankD137]

Thanks. Im considering the jimny too and this helped. Nice seamaster btw 😉

It is a big red flag when a car is not sold in Europe, Suzuki says it is stricter emission norms, others say it lacks safety.

[@jaythomasni]

Nice color What is this color? Granite grey or bluish black ?

[@ganeshirodi7517]

Kripal Sir u should think about car blogs.....For me the only drawback is the mileage. Brilliantly designed

[@himshaky]

What people don't get is that main purpose of a 4x4 is to take you to places where others cannot. And Jimny has completely proven itself. Do people think they can drive their huge SUVs through narrow twisty steep raw roads in the hills? But I am a bit put off by Jimmy's large turning radius. Was planning to buy in near future and didn't hear this in other reviews

[@gautambanerjee7123]

Absolutely agree.

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

True, but the slightly larger turning radius isn’t too much of a bother. I just returned from a long drive involving some twisties and narrow ghats.

[@RR-mq1ee]

Its a nice car sir and nicely reviewed. Congratulations. Like you, I have started following up the Jimny since its international launch. I am hopeful that one day I will get one.

[@avinashjadhav375]

We bought two of these. One each for my father and myself. My parents are touring homes of relatives of Kerala in mine right now, started from Bangalore; my father is driving at the age of almost 75 (their piece is in Belgaum in their farmhouse).

What's the on road price sir ?

[@epictetus__]

at what price you got on-road?

[@sriramsoundhrapandyan]

Good choice Sir... Nevertheless, Gurkha is not to be underrated...Force Motors are Pioneers in Automotive Industry in India keeping pace with the changing landscape of this Sector... My request is You give Reviews on Thar & Gurkha as well Sir but at a leisurely pace...

[@varunrao963]

Hi Kripal. Nice to see you driving around in your new jimny. I have driven the Thar as well as the Gypsy. My loyalty is towards the gypsy as I've driven this vehicle more than my car in my 16 year service career. Will test drive the jny as well.

[@gautambanerjee7123]

Absolutely agree. I have not drven a gypsy but have ridden it. Even that is better than a ride in a Thar.

[@sainellore6874]

[@abhishekghosh5550]

Yea! This is unique. When I saw it first, I stopped for a good 3 - 4 min to have a look. Was surprised to see the Suzuki logo in front. Looks small but definitely a head turner. Then I checked the price, it told me 20 lacs, that was quite a lot. Glad to know prices been slashed. Good 1 kripal.

[@kodisnaidoo8110]

Hi Kripal...a great buy...im not sure if this vehicle is in South Africa....i will check I want to know about the road grip of this vehicle...especially in wet weather Eg...the Fortuner looks great but can turn over in bad weather...it lifts from the back wheels So i want to know about this vehicle road grip

[@KripalAmannaVlogs]

Hi! I haven't had the opportunity to drive in wet weather yet, but I assume it will be fine. It is now available in SA as Jimny XL, I am told.

[@doasifmom8812]

I have a Alfa AT Jimny. A few things I may want are .. tyre pressure monitoring. AUTO window controls on the front passenger side. Central lock automatic on off, some light around start stop switch, goggle/ spectacle holder, and maybe a wireless mobile charger. All other features are good.

[@sunnykuruvilla1467]

Hi Kripalji, Thanks for the positive user review. I too own a Jimny and driven around 1000+Kms. I feel we should have a Jimny Club

[@bennypremkumar8217]

That was a clear cut comparison with Jimny n Thar. Amazing !!!. Whatever i was thinking you have explained :). Car lovers will know how they admired Gypsy those days and always dreaming of owning one as we see all Gypsy out there in Defence sectors clearly decorated on Republic day , but is there any one say i love Mahindra 540 MM those days and love to own one ...definitely not :) They can google out on Jimny 's 40 years existence and its Global presence , but we cant own a new Gypsy now and Jimny is the one we can go for. See one thing people need to understand , you cant have comfort and 4 x 4 off-road in one car , except for high end premium SUVs and you have to spend more. But Jimny is small compact SUV which can be used daily for office commuting , in highways and off road mainly. Thar definitely is Bumpy ride car due to its wheelbase less than Jimny , so city ride and high way is a challenge. Suzuki has done Jimny smartly for Indian market with 4 door option , sorry Thar :) four door (pssh Rubicon copy) is still under way in Mahindra. Most importantly i love rear wheel drive cars , and Jimny is rear wheel drive + 4 x4 is really great. Jimny as petrol version to my knowledge can give mileage upto 14 kmpl if we maintain speed at right rpm , this is not the case with Thar petrol and it gives mere 5 to 7 kmpl as it is 2 litre Petrol engine with high bhp and torque. I believe Kripal view on Jimny is correct , yes there are pros and cons in any car, but who would like to stay out crowd in off road and practicality wise then Jimny is the one..

Hello! Tbh, I don’t know much about the Gurkha, I don’t fancy its size and huge brawny appeal. Not for me.

I just switched to a new Jimny from my old Gypsy. And the Jimny is the ideal little modern Gypsy. Jimny, the Grandson has all the “DNA” and the ‘feel” and “soul” of the Old School Grandpa Gypsy. It is the perfect update for Modern Times. With all the creature comforts that one may wish for. More than enough capability for the Urban as well as Jungle Trails.

Good, refined review. Concise and clear! I'm in a similar situation. Have the New Tata Safari as the highway runner and a bike. need a second smaller car as the run in town errands and fun vehicle. Sold my Ignis recently and am now trying to decide between the Jimny, the Skoda Kushaq and the Honda Elevate. Reading up all I can before I take a call. Real, truthful unbiased reviews like yours help immensely! Thank you. Nice watch, btw! Always had a soft spot for the Seamaster 300

[@shankarbalan3813]

good choice Kripal. Jimny is perfect for people who “know what they want”. it is a very accomplished vehicle. the Jimny 3 door first came alive in Overseas markets in 2018. Ive got my Gypsy now and much as it pains me to say it, one day I will replace it with a Jimny. I also have the 2021 Thar and it is very different to the Gypsy and Jimny. But honestly that Jimny and its tiny footprint and lightness and overall agility is very appealing (to me) as compared to the Brawn and Might of the Thar. I dont know why. The Jimny turning radius is big. Because of the Rigid Front Axle. Like the Gypsy too. The Thar with its Independent Front Suspension makes for a smaller turning radius. As you said, the Thar is lovely when you sit in front. But the rear, the less said the better even with upgraded suspension like I have in mine. The Jimny, well, it is far more practical and comfortable too. I think one has to be an “evolved” customer, to truly appreciate the Jimny.

I am really impressed with the Suzuki Jimny car, it's an exceptional vehicle that deserves all the accolades it's getting. The version with the best tires is particularly noteworthy because it's the tires that provide the necessary grip and traction for off-road driving. I really appreciate your review of the car, Amigo, it was insightful and informative. I would love to see more of the Jimny in action, especially when driving off-road and crossing rivers. Your video makes me want to experience driving a Suzuki Jimny through Whistler BC myself. It's a beautiful place to explore and the car seems like the perfect vehicle for such an adventure. So, thanks for sharing your experience and inspiring me to take a closer look at the Jimny! Stay Blessed!🚙
