BHPian Samba<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Maruti organised an off-road event in Kolkata to showcase the capabilities of their Jimny.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This was a very well-organised event, where safety was given the first priority. The good thing was that, anyone with a valid driving license, who wanted to experience the Jimny off-road could drive the car with a professional instructors from Maruti seating beside them.<\/p>\n The instructors<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To drive the car, one had to register at the kiosk. Coffee mug and snacks were given to all the participants.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The track was a mixture of some easy, tricky & technical obstacles where the car’s electronics like BLD, Hill-hold assist, traction control and of course the 4wd was put to good use.<\/p>\n With an experienced offroader, many of the obstacles were possible in the 2wd mode with the traction control off. The BLD in the Jimny works like a charm.<\/p>\n Few pics from the track:<\/p>\n The chicken holes:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The axle twisters. This was also possible in 2wd & TC off. The BLD worked superbly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The side incline:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The steep down slope where the HDC was put to good use while the car was in 4L 1st.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This uphill was doable in 4H 1st with TC off.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Side-angle drop. The right turn was tricky, this needed a proper judgement from the driver.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Trench crossover. This required proper throttle modulation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Here is a video of the track drive with Bhpian Dog&Damsel12 behind the wheel.<\/p>\n Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n
