Flywheel Automotive by Hani Musthafa's video: Suzuki Jimny 4x4 Exclusive Review Small and Fun Package Coming Soon to India Flywheel Review

Suzuki Jimny is the modern Gypsy replacement we’ve all been waiting for. Suzuki’s mission statement to make ‘the one-and-only, small, lightweight four-wheel-drive vehicle’ remains. Under that new body, the fourth-generation Jimny still features a ladder frame chassis, three-link rigid axle coil spring suspension and four-wheel drive. The addition of new tech such as hill hold and descent control, brake support and a host of driver assistance systems are all intended to make the new Suzuki Jimny even more capable than the old car. Suzuki Jimny Design: Design-wise, the old Jimny – the third-gen model that was given a miss for India – was beginning to show its age, so there’s some irony in the fact Suzuki has modernised it by giving it something of a retro design. While the new model is sharper and boxier, it retains familiar Jimny traits such as the round headlights, independent indicators and front grille design. It gives the new car something of a mini Mercedes G-class vibe, served with a side of micro-sized Japanese fun. This is subjective but, to this tester, it looks fantastic. Suzuki Jimny Interiors: The Suzuki Jimny remains a small car inside. It’s still decades ahead of the Gypsy in comfort but the vibe on the inside is still that of serious little off-roader. Suzuki describes the interior as "functional", and that’s what it is. The mostly black dashboard and switches are predominantly plastic, with many switches shared with other Suzuki models, and the seats are comfortable rather than cosseting. Suzuki Jimny Engine and Performance: The old Jimny’s 1.3-litre petrol engine has been replaced by a new 1.5-litre unit – the only option, with Suzuki moving away from diesels – which offers 102hp, 130Nm of torque at 4,000rpm and a top speed of 146.4kph. While our test car featured the five-speed manual 'box, a four-speed auto is also available. Suzuki Jimny is not an especially fast car. The revvy engine takes some working to get up to speed, especially with the long gearstick’s substantial and slightly agricultural throw. Suzuki Jimny Competitors in India: Suzuki Jimny Competitors in India includes Mahindra Thar, Mahindra XUV 300, Ford Ecosport and Kia Sonet. Suzuki Jimny Expected Price in India: The price of Maruti Jimny is expected to be around Rs. 10.00 Lakh Suzuki Jimny Launch in India: We expect Maruti Suzuki to launch the Jimny 3-Door in India in the second half of 2021, possibly around the festive season. And when launched, it is expected to be retailed through Maruti Suzuki's Nexa dealerships. ►Subscribe here: https://bit.ly/2EgqACU​​​ Watch More Flywheel Malayalam Car Reviews: https://bit.ly/39y1Xgr​​​ FOLLOW Hani!
