Suzuki Jimny G Class rendition by SFD

A lot of car enthusiasts, specially off roaders are hyped up with the upcoming Suzuki Jimny. Even I, am tempted to have one. Have you seen those mods where the new Jimny looked a bit similar to the G Class? Amazing! Anyway, I was chatting with my Japanese friend and he sent me an email from Suzuki containing a LOT of details with the new Suzuki Jimny. Never have I seen such details with this new talked about mini off roader on the net. Have a look below!

Suzuki Japan officially launched the new Jimny and Jimny Sierra on July 5, 2018

Since 1970, Jimny has been known as one of the best light weight off road SUV

2.85 million Jimnys have been sold worldwide

Here are the 2 variants. Not sure if the Philippines will have all variants. The Suzuki Jimny and the Suzuki Jimny Sierra.

The frame structure that Jimny uses is the Ladder Frame Structure. This is also used by other known off-road vehicles such as the Toyota Land Cruiser, Jeep Wrangler, Land Rover Defender, Mercedes Benz G Class. The reason behind on why they use this structure is because it is easy to manufacture, less complex, durable, easy to fix, and can carry a lot of weight.

For All New Jimny / Jimny Sierra, Suzuki has attached an X-beam and single cross beams to improve the torsional rigidity of the frame for 1.5 times. They have also developed the new body mounting rubbers to improve driving performance.

3 Link Rigid Axle Suspension

Why do off road vehicles have to use rigid axle suspensions? Because this type of suspension can overcome higher obstacles or deeper dips than independent suspension. It doesn’t have swing arms which can hit the ground and has less joints which is easier to fix. However, it bounces more on rough roads. 

Part-time 4WD in small vehicles Suzuki Jimny has a part-time 4WD which can switch between 2H – 2-wheel drive at high speed, 4H – 4-wheel drive at high speed or 4L – 4-wheel drive at low speed (high gear ratio for rough terrains). When we compare 4WD with AWD (all-wheel drive) which doesn’t have the high gear ratio, 4WD can perform better in any rough terrains.

5-speed manual transmission, it comes with a new design that can change more smoothly and reduces its vibration with new joints.

4-speed automatic transmission which we can also choose the auxiliary gear to control part-time 4WD.

Hill Hold Control and Hill Descent Control

Suzuki Jimny is classified as a Kei car ( 軽自動車-keijidosha). The engine displacement volume is less than 660 cc, the length of the car is less than 3.4 m, the width of the car is less than 1.48 m, the height of the car is less than 2 m and it can take only 4 passengers. 

There are a lot of advantages of Kei cars in Japan, such as lower tax, lower express lane fee, lower insurance cost, special parking spots in cities and lower fuel consumption rate.
