desertdude Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 This thing is creating a big buzz all over the internet cant wait to see it in real life. The previous Jimny was a great little proper suv with a ladder frame chassis, low ration gearbox and pretty capable off roader. This look even more off road worthy. Cant say the same for the lime green hero colour they have chosen for it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sertac Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I hope this time it will have something more powerful. I really want to buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Stance looks very impressive with awesome approach and departure angles but Suzuki need to ditch 1.X liter engine and switch to real offroad worthy engines. It seems they have almost everything perfect made for Jimny to be classified as a proper off-roader except the engine power. This peony 1.X liter is good for entry level dune bashing but not mid or extreme level. Any idea on this new Jimny what engine they are using....? Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

desertdude Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I think the Jimny Liwa Team will disagree with you on that one. For such a small and light car that weighs just 1ton I think its sufficient, acn always mod for more power if needed Or you could swap it with a 300hp LS corvette V8 and yes thats a thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 This is probably modified or running swap engine just like everyone says Patrol is king of desert and then stock Patrol coughs up half the faya. Don't go for this imposters impressions. I have driven stock Jimny in 3 occasions from 2010 - 2016 and all three times it coughs up in loose soft sands with tons of cross tracks and eventually I have to winch them up to get them out of the serious bowl. Circling around for more than 5-10 times wasn't enough to build momentum to get them out of its own power. Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

sertac Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 In Turkey these jimny very famous. It is gong everywhere a cherokee can go. But in sand i dont know. I really want to try myself. These cars in Turkey all stock engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 In such mud and rock climbing they might be very good but in the sand, they are quite sluggish when engine power is needed to churn cross tracks. Even RAV4 coughs up with 2.X liter engine on cross tracks and a quick climb up without run-up. People filming Jimny here must be doing on the virgin sand and not the beaten up tracks or open dunes with few hundred meter run-up. Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Gaurav Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Up until 2018 model here is the Jimny Power to weight ratio: 80 hp / 1107 kgs = 72.26 hp/ton - Highly UNDERPOWERED for sand. For 2019 model, rumor saying they are launching new engine of 3 cylinders with 660 CC but with turbo, yet to know the power figures though. Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

sertac Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 It is coming with 660cc and 1500cc engine. I hope 1500cc will have some power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
