BHPian gsferrari<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n A few pics of my Jimny. I’ve completed 3000 km so far. Plenty of off-road driving (mostly sand\/dunes\/cross country) and a trip from Chennai to Bandipur\/Masinagudi via Bangalore. Very happy with the vehicle and the reality is faithful to the observations made during the media drive.<\/p>\n For the Masinagudi trip, we were 4 adults with luggage for 5 nights – 6 days. The car was quite heavily loaded with close to 500kg including passengers and luggage. Highway performance was adequate, but not exciting. Climbing from Krishnagiri to Hosur was an exercise in patience and being submissive to the faster vehicles out there.<\/p>\n I must make a mention of the insane rumble strips on the road between Krishnagiri and Hosur. These really throw little Jimny offline, particularly when the suspension is overwhelmed with the load in the vehicle. The first one was so unpleasant I started to slow to a crawl for the ones that followed.<\/p>\n While I feel the engine is adequate, I think this platform would really come on song with a 2L or 2.4L engine, like the one in the original Grand Vitara. It wouldn’t be unjustified at this price point either.<\/p>\n Annoyances in order of severity:<\/strong><\/p>\n I have no idea how to upload videos here. I will share some off-road videos once I figure that out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n
